Speaking of hearing things in things, does anyone else hear some samples from Supercrush! in Where We Belong or is it just my imagination?

I hear some samples from supercrush in Grace !

It is Official.

This is fucking astonishing.

^A fine way to put it.

The album is finally started clicking with me, it's the first Devin album I needed time to get into it. At first it sounded so familiar that I was actually put off simply because I was still overwhelmed by the Decon/Ghost combo which I love very much. I have now put those aside and started listening to Epicloud with a relaxed mind. And it is a great album, I love the sound and some songs are really powerful.

And regarding criticism about recycling. I have been listening to that remark whenever I mention to people that I love the music of Ozric Tentacles, and the usual response is 'meh, all their albums sound the same'. Yeah, and usually it's the people who don't listen to them and have heard a song or two. This hypocrisy used to piss me off. It still does, but it used, too.

Mitch Hedberg fan?

I've listened to more than 'a song or two...'

The criticism isn't in the recycling. Just that it feels (FEELS) lazy this time around. On one song.

The album finally (finally) showed up in my mailbox!

Listening now, gonna post my Epiclouder thoughts later. Omega bros, your stuff is coming, lol

The middle section of Cry Forever is the heaviest piece of music under the DTP banner, IMO. Sweet jesus it shakes my car.

I understand. I may have been too general in my remark whereas you were specific to one song.

@anoxiauk - yup, Hedberg fan.

Listening to Divine, I have to wonder, who else here can genuinely relate to that track?
I don't want to be one of those douchebags who says "This song is about me!" but every time I hear it, the message definitely parallels where I am.
I suppose the longer you've been with the one you love, the more you can relate. Dysfunctionality may also play a part.

I kinda feel the same about Grace, but only because I dated a girl named Grace once and it left me "fearing love" so to speak.

Pretty much nothing else in the song works, but I like that little connection anyway.

just won a copy on twitter. not sure if its the deluxe or regular but its the first thing i have ever won in my life.

Hey, if "loving you is entire" is not one of the greatest lines ever, I'll eat my sparkly, wooly hat!

I'm hearing all sorts of new "layers" in these songs now. Or maybe I'm just relaxed at 5 AM to pick some of this stuff up. But I'm digging it even more now.

"Divine" totally rattles my ride way more than any of the other tracks do, oddly enough. Yummy low end...!

Oh - and not to mention it's a positively fantastic track that's like the warm apple butter on the Epiclouder sandwich; it warms the belly. *gulp!*
