I guess that makes sense, just judging from what I've heard in the youtube clips. Similarly, Trainfire kills the vibe for me on Ki. And I know that song has cool moments, but the main verse part of it kills it for me. And there is a simple reason. I hate Elvis and that 50's shuffle style. I have never been able to tolerate it. And Ki isn't mellow enough to keep my intolerance at bay. Maybe the overall tranquility of Ghost will coax me into a state where I can fully accept and appreciate the twangy-twang of Texada. I hate country. We'll see if Ghost keeps the hate away. I have a strong feeling that it will.

Maybe you should check out Gothic Country. Stuff like 16 Horsepower, Jay Munly, Those Poor Bastards and Woven Hand.

funny thing is I love Trainfire and the last section in trainfire may be one of the best recorded pieces of music ever. The vocals get me each time.

Just thought i'd post some more things about the album that i feel. I really think Dark Matters and Texada ruin the flow for me. These two are the weakest tracks on the album imo. The rest of it is a 11/10 for me as of now.

Those 2 aren't bad but they don't fit imo.

Interesting that you'd say that, but I can kind of see where you're coming from at least with Texada, the updates make it seem a bit more "all-over" than most of the other material on there...

I'd like to know your opinion once you hear the album as well. Please PM me when you do. I checked the updates and the bed tracks yesterday and i had stayed away from listening to anything barring Feather until i got the album.

Four cases together = full DTP logo? Whatchu guys talkin about? Can someone enlighten me? I am the confused man.

Hey Dev, is the a possibility of in the future being able to get a hard copy of Ghost 2? The download is nice but I would personally like to have the artwork/booklet and be able to display it with the rest of my cds at some point. I don't think I'm the only one who would like this

Look at the spine of a DTP album. There's a piece of the DTP logo.

@gs48 Damn you lol.

I love trainfire, i'd go as far as saying it's one of my favorite songs on Ki. At first I thought it was a little odd, but I got over my 50's-phobia pretty quick when I realized that listening through it meant getting to the total amazingness that is the middle section where the music pretty much cuts out to a guitar (barely) and snare drum, then it builds back up into the groove with the female vocals, which is one of my favorite moments on the whole album. It's a major warm-fuzzy-feeling moment for me Now I dig the whole song, the way it progresses is just awesome.

That said, I'm trying to expect as little as possible from Ghost, because I know I'll be hearing something different than what I expect. That's just how it goes
