| I think they should have just posted a full song but whatever.
It may be more electronic like Retraced, but the second clip with the sitar and indian drum sounds sooo rad. I hope alot of stuff like that is done over the course of the EP. _________________  |

That sounds pretty sweet. Reminds me of Dead Soul Tribe. I gather this is a new direction for the band? I'm not familiar with their older work, but this new song is a pretty mellow affair.

Yeah, the new version of the band is light years away from Focus and the death metal stuff they did before that. They're excellent, though. _________________ "Happy people have no stories" —Therapy? Shock Totem | The Eyesore Times | Getcha Rocks Off |

| I skimmed it. Sounds great! I just don't want to listen to too many songs online from what will be a short EP, you know.
Interesting interview, though. _________________ "Happy people have no stories" —Therapy? Shock Totem | The Eyesore Times | Getcha Rocks Off |

| well I finally bought the ep today. I saw it at Best Buy while getting the new album from The Mars Volta.
I've listened through Carbon-Based Anatomy only once so far, but I found it really disappointing. The drumming seemed pretty interesting but the rest of the music was kind of boring. I'll have to give it a few more listens to be fair, but my initial thought is that it pales in comparison to their other releases |

| Other than the title track, the album is just so boring its sad. I dont think the style could really be classified as metal either, maybe prog, but that would be borderline for me. |

| I can't believe people still like this stuff. It is nothing like what made them an interesting band in the first place.
How far is this from old new age/jazz stuff that their fans wouldn't touch with a 10 foot poll? Some people just listen to this because it has the name CYNIC on it.
Change is fine, but this is a real snoozer. Mellow music can be cool, fun, and interesting but this is not it.

I pretty much agree with you. To me it sounded like new age music which is not really my thing. Aside from the drums I found the album to be pretty boring. I'm still going to listen to it more to give it a fair shot.
I don't think it matters whether it's similar to how they started though. They can change all they want. I just don't like the newest change. If I recall correctly a variety of people criticized Traced in Air for not being death metal enough, but to my hearing that was a masterpiece. And I think it did retain quite a few similarities to Focus. But the latest is definitely a further departure. |
