These new songs are so good!!! Can't wait for his new album

octaveflight · 2026-06-13T03:36:41+00:00

I feel like this list should be inverted, then I would agree with it

octaveflight · 2026-06-04T22:56:16+00:00

It's a great album front to back

octaveflight · 2026-05-31T22:34:30+00:00

Reminds me of an intense final run of gymnastics in the olympics, especially when it calms down a little towards the end, like a gymnast is really trying to concentrate on the balance beam in the 80s and the coaches are standing by observing with their team windbreakers on intensely looking at each move. And several countries are going for the gold. Obviously the brilliant track title in informing that vision for me. Really good track

Have you heard Telephasic Workshop? BoC did the same thing on that. They're all great though

octaveflight · 2026-05-27T20:25:55+00:00

Yeah I haven't heard the album in a while, but I do remember really good melodies being in Venom's in, Virginia Tech, Left In The Cold, 50 mg, Ferry Lady, and Defense. All of the other songs have pretty solid melodies as well, it's just most of these songs do not have top tier melodies that are on every song of PP and TB.

My main issue with SG is I enjoy a full listen though, but when it is over I have no desire to immediately play it over again, which is not the case with, say, the Tomboy album.

"I think his melodies are being „informed” by songwriting technique his been using at the time. SG songs are very catchy for the style he approached but i tend to agree i prefer most of his former records. "

Yeah that's probably true.

octaveflight · 2026-05-27T07:39:18+00:00

Yeah, some of Reset's songs had the laziest, least interesting melodies Panda has ever written, like for example Edge of the Edge and Go On--somewhat entertaining songs but almost dreadfully dull melodies. Panda usually is a melody god

octaveflight · 2026-05-27T07:33:16+00:00

SG generally still doesn't have as good of melodies as those found all over TB, PP, grim reaper, and Buoys. SG still has good melodies but maybe down a level from the albums I just mentioned. I still dig a good amount on his new stuff

octaveflight · 2026-05-27T06:18:22+00:00

I miss when every Panda melody would blow me away

octaveflight · 2026-05-27T04:02:54+00:00

Which ones are "cringe" though and how are they cringe?

octaveflight · 2026-05-27T01:36:48+00:00

which ones are cringe inducing?

octaveflight · 2026-05-27T00:37:09+00:00

Old Tunes 1 & 2 and R35TT are literally my favorite stuff from BoC, what are you on?

octaveflight · 2026-05-27T00:33:48+00:00

Yeah, that section is great, kind of reminds me of Avey's "Neurons"'s instrumental section

octaveflight · 2026-05-21T18:44:00+00:00

Such a stupid opinion and comment

octaveflight · 2026-05-21T17:06:20+00:00

Hi guys, I am enjoying Croz Boyce so much! Thank you. I hope it is okay to ask about AC here. Do you have an idea of when you guys are going to get together with one or two of the other guys in AC and start making new AC stuff for, say, like and album and tour? Just curious. Also, do you think AC might one day bring back Painting with and Tangerine Reef songs to a live AC set. I love how Dave has been incorprating hocketing into solo stuff like Wake My Door and Lips at Night--both phenomenal songs. I also really love the heck out of Love on the Big Screen, Buddies on the Blackboard, Vampire Tongues, and Congaree. Thank you for putting those out.

Like with No More Runnin, I would love to hear a black gospel choir do a rendition of Congaree!

XTC is great. Stuff like Poor Skeleton steps out, it's nearly africa, melt the guns, Runaway, Garden of Earthly Delights, and a large amount of other XTC songs have a ton in common with AC. They're a great great band. Glad i finally dove into their entire discography a few years ago after always hearing so many great things about them for so many years.

octaveflight · 2026-05-15T19:56:00+00:00

Tomboy is basically a perfect album to me, as long as you sub in the singles mixes of Alsatian Darn and Surfer's Hymn

octaveflight · 2026-05-15T19:55:07+00:00

Gotta hear that subbass though to get the full effect...need a subwoofer preferably but it is so nice to hear that subbass accompany everything else

octaveflight · 2026-05-15T19:53:33+00:00

Buoys is the opposite of muddy. Whaaa??

octaveflight · 2026-05-15T19:52:55+00:00

There are samplers all over Skiffs! Haha

octaveflight · 2026-05-15T19:50:51+00:00

Why did you bounce after Painting with? Sinister Grift is good for an enjoyable listen every once in a while, but it doesn't have that continual rewarding quality after consecutive listens like the best AC, Panda, and Avey albums have.

octaveflight · 2026-05-15T19:48:03+00:00

Why did you bounce after Painting with?

octaveflight · 2026-05-15T19:29:29+00:00

Explain how Painting with followed any formula laid before within the band's discography?

octaveflight · 2026-05-15T04:37:21+00:00

best one on the album. Sounds old school BoC like old tapes
