I'm happy to be back and to say that both Epicloud and the bonus disc, Epiclouder are awesome.

I'm a huge Devin fanboy (he is the one that got me into sevenstring guitars), but I tend to agree with DLG and I'm a bit surprised at the flak he's been copping for his opinion.
It's a good album, but I don't think it's anywhere near the same calibre as his other albums. It just feels a bit dry & uneventful for the most part for me. A lot of the songs just don't hold my attention or draw me in.
I know Devin said it's a change of style and I appreciate that he does what he feels and aims to make completely original music/albums, which is something I really like about Devin - But I don't think it's an amazing album like some people are saying.

I think between Epicloud and the bonus album (I don't consider it to be anything less) there are enough winning tracks to create your own personalized version of Epicloud. I actually think I'm enjoying Epiclouder more than Epicloud itself. ThEre are some awesome tracks on Epiclouder.

Give it a chance, really. Take the time and just enjoy it, it'll grow on you. I didn't listen to the 2nd half of the album at all and kept listening to Where We Belong and Kingdom over and over.I'm a huge Devin fanboy (he is the one that got me into sevenstring guitars), but I tend to agree with DLG and I'm a bit surprised at the flak he's been copping for his opinion.

After Tuesday, and hearing Grace for the first time, it really opened up the rest of the album for me.

I check setlist.fm almost everyday to see what to expect when I see him on the 18th and 22nd.. here are some of the more exciting songs. All imo.
War
Seventh Wave
Wild Colonial Boy!
Sunday Afternoon
Babysong!
As the tour goes on it seems like their playing less Epicloud stuff, which I'm neutral about. I really enjoy Epicloud, but also part of me wants to see him play all his 'hits'. Can't really go wrong this tour.

idk about you guys but this really massive sound combined with very uplifting feelings makes this album fucking awesome to me. it's nice to get a very powerful feeling that isn't always so hopeless and depressing and meh.

Babysong was weird because it was played as the 3rd one, following Kingdom. It kind of killed the crowd.
But, we got Kingdom, Where We Belong, Lucky Animals, and Grace from Epicloud. War was great.
Oh god, the riff at the end of "More"
So fucking good. Devin makes these amazing riffs you could make into entire songs and puts them as "fillers".

Some of the tunes from Epiclouder are darker and more progressive than the Epicloud tunes, which is probably more satisfying for me. Quietus sounds like Devin's take on a spy movie theme, and The Mind Wasp is unlike anything I've ever heard from Devin. Really powerful.

those are some choice cuts. nice.

For Mod
Listened to Ocean Machine after work today, was in a terrible mood from the past 4 days of work, and everything just drifted away.

Ok, is epiclouder the bonus disc on the digipak version? Or have I missed something?

I think three songs on Epiclouder are way better than anything on Epicloud:
-Woah No!
-Quietus
-The Mind Wasp
