CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Lover, The Lord Has Left Us? is the follow-up album from progressive rock amalgam The Sound of Animals Fighting, whose 2005 Tiger and the Duke was a milestone on the road of experimental music. Lover?s expansion into alternative genres, alternative sounds, and alternative media qualifies TSOAF, further this time, as a major pioneering entity in the search for new modes of musical expression and meaning. New (the Ram, the Penguin and the Wolf?) and returning (the Hyena, the Nightingale, the Walrus, the Lynx and the Skunk) animals alike add their own infusion, sensibilities and particular steps, each given a day to complete their piece of the final structure, working remotely and adding subsequent layers of their own invention to the highly organic project. The result is a candid, ubiquitous concert of musical talent, inspiration, spontaneity and collaboration that lets the taste of each artist combine and marinate, adding a complexity and a depth to each track that would not exist without both complimenting, and being complimented by, the other tracks on the album.

CD ReviewsThe subtle beauty of broken glass is misunderstood ultraviolent zero | wasteland, usa | 06/19/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "Ive been reading the reviews for Lover, the Lord Has Left Us and I was pretty surprised. I realize that the album is on a different plane then what many are used to, with the chanting and the seemingly displaced "noise". But to call it pretentious is a little harsh. Sure TSOAF are trying to create something new, but they are decently cutting-edge. To be pretentious, TSOAF has to consist of charlatans who are trying to be something that theyre not. So how can you tell that this isnt the REAL TSOAF? You cant. Their discography is meager in amount and to judge this band on how theyre supposed to sound by an 8 track, 4 song ep is just an irresponsibly bad assumption, and we all know what happens when you assume. This album is just another art effort by TSOAF and I truly respect them for being different. So why dont people like the album? Because its nothing like The Tiger and the Duke. Dont get me wrong, I love that album, but how can someone call TTATD a creative voyage through music and experimentation and LTLHLU pretentious? If anything, TSOAF have found themselves deep within the forest that they began to explore on their first album. What did you expect, another TTATD? Why would you want a band as artistic, creative, and daring as TSOAF to remain on the same platform when they obviously have the wings to ascend? According to many, the only way for TSOAF to be original is to stick to their old sound. Oxymoronic? Id like to think so. TSOAF is without doubt different. Their individuality, although strived for, is not an act. I would recommend this album the same way I would recommend Omar A. Rodruiguez Lopez, or Godspeed! You Black Emperor, or the Mahavishnu Orchestra (I am by no means comparing these artists, just stressing their individuality) LTLHLU is unique. Find an album like it and you deserve a medal. In the meantime, listen to this album, just dont expect ANYTHING. P.S. Cove Reber isnt even in TSOAF, thank god." I tried to like it but... Gregory Neuberger | Weston, Fl | 06/06/2006 (2 out of 5 stars) "I really just couldn't get into it. I am a huge fan of Tiger and the Duke and was anticipating this album highly. When i first listened to it I was dissapointed. I found it slow and uninteresting in some parts. So I tried listening to it numerous times and while I can listen to some tracks I tend to skip over many and get bored. Is this album artsy? Yes. Do they have talent? Yes. But it just isn't my taste." Amazing. Charlie Cool Kid Craver | 07/07/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "So ever since this cd has came out I've seen kids saying a bunch of different things about it.
In my opinion if you say it's a horrible, you must be pretty close minded. yeah when I first heard TSOAF was coming out with CD I expected another high energy crazy rip my face off CD but what I got was a frickin' masterpiece. The worst way to listen to this cd is close minded. TSOAF was defiantly going for something different and they the only ones so far that can pull of something. Kids, I swear you complain when a band goes mainstream or is even mentioned on MTV. but when something comes out different you think it's too much. this CD is by far one of thee best CDs I've heard so far.listen to it open mindedly. This CD is glorious but you have to listen to it not just judge it because it's different than other bands." |
