Visiter is brilliant isn't it. Better than Mumford & Sons.

  • I wouldn't call it brilliant

    Good, but forgettable. Over time I just found it to be a pretty average record.

    • I just put it on for the first time in ages

      and it got me all excited. Love the sharp guitar sound and vocals.

  • But yeah Visiter is a properly properly brilliant album.

    Shame they've never come close to matching it.

  • Yeah I love Visiter

    I listened to it for the first time in a while too, I'd forgotten how strong it is throughout, at an hour long.

    I wasn't really fussed with Time to Die though, nor have I been compelled to listen to their first album.

    nyodeneD | 23 Dec '12, 17:38 | X
  • I seem to be

    the only one who really loved Time To Die. I think it's an exceptional album, with some really great songs. Much maligned in my book.

    • This Is A Business is fantastic

      but I found the album a bit disappointing on the whole.

  • The Dodo's what?

    • The Dodo's terrible album cover

    • the dodo's visiter

      it says at the top

      codpieceface @guntrip | 24 Dec '12, 02:27 | X
      • I don't know this band The Dodo

        tell me about them

        guntrip @codpieceface | 24 Dec '12, 07:32 | X
  • Was totally blown away when I saw them open for Akron/Family

    Chatted with dude during headliner's whole set, really nice guy.

    Wrote Visiter review for this here website 8/10... oh, I did Time to Die, too 6/10. But ended on an upnote: next album will be great methinks.

    • What did you think of No Color?

      I think I only listened to it once, I must give it another spin.

      Icarus-Smicarus @oceanRain | 24 Dec '12, 02:08 | X
      • Oh, right

        Here's the funny thing: I remember thinking this is really pretty great, return to form, and as you can see, I'd forgotten about it, and iTunes says I only listened once....

        As a music critic, I'd say it's pretty great, but as a music fan, their rootsy sound is outside my usual demographic....

        Listening now: yeah, first track is stellar... *shrugs*

        oceanRain @Icarus-Smicarus | 24 Dec '12, 03:20 | X
  • Yup, great album

    The Season is probably my fav song

    suedehead | 24 Dec '12, 14:40 | X
  • the audio equivalent...

    ...of your 'zany' friend, who, as it turns out, isn't very 'zany'.

    sunstroke_house | 24 Dec '12, 15:58 | X
    • In what way?

      Icarus-Smicarus @sunstroke_house | 24 Dec '12, 16:21 | X
      • i suppose i mean that...

        ...Visitor is a decent record with some interesting sounds, but the band weren't able to maintain that level of ingenuity over the following releases and ended up sounding try-hard and bland.

        sunstroke_house @Icarus-Smicarus | 24 Dec '12, 16:55 | X
        • ...and therefore reflecting poorly on that first record*.

          *= delayed thought. i blame the drink.

          sunstroke_house @sunstroke_house | 24 Dec '12, 19:45 | X
  • better than Mumford and Sons?

    that's unpossible!

    anal_schwarzenegger | 24 Dec '12, 16:37 | X
  • I like that song called Walking
