Pendulum Immersion = F'ing Genious
Just a forward: I don't feel this belongs in "Music Discssion". I'm hoping to advance the creation of music with this thread. I feel that many of us have a lot to learn from the album.
Anyone else listen to the new Pendulum album, Immersion and feel it's the best collection of electronic music since Above and Beyond's TriState? I will admit that it took me a few listens through to fully understand what the goal was, but once I did...WOW. Swire completely takes all he's learned to date and enhances it with (OMG) electronic music that actually has FEELING.
Songs like Crush and Watercolour -- although a bit generic in the grand-scheme, for electronic music, the depth is amazing. The songs actually HAVE FEELING. Wow. Reviews have been slightly worse than In Silico, but as a musician, I feel I completely understand what he was trying to accomplish - electronic music with feeling.
I'm just hoping to not be the only one who loves this Album. I hope we all can learn something to make trance not so generic (ala the recent "all trance sounds the same" threads).
any samples? is it as good as mirage?
I love this album and listen to it a lot! Watercolour is amazing.

I've tried to recreate the Pendulum sound on a couple of occasions without any success at all I might add.
Agreed that the music itself can be a bit generic and cheesy but as you say there's certainly something about what they do that lifts it. A huge amount of energy.
I still think my personal favourite is Showdown.
Absolutely terrible. Vocals are unbearable cheese, production is nothing remarkable.
I was expecting something amazing from the reviews here. Ha.
I guess this would work great for introducing fans of Nickelback to electronic music, though.

i think pendulum have made a name for themselves, they have a very unique sound, nothing else sounds quite like it.
that to me is an achievement in itself. when i hear their tracks, i dont think oh yeah its drum and bass or rock/metal. its pendulum.
you said it was good as tri state and that sucks LOL
aye they have made some cool tunes thoe i like sub focus better
Not my kinda thing to listen to at home, but i think its quite nice.
Ive enjoyed their music at parties.. its cool.
And yeah i think its quite unique and fun.

I'll have to have a listen to the new album. I prefered the 1st album before they went all rocky with the new vocalist etc. Still they are good at what they do.

My fav track from Pendulum
sort of a classic i believe i don't follow them very much
yet still the worst prodigy remix of all times.
Not a patch on 'Hold Your Colour' imo. Whether you like them or not, the production on that album was excellent. I will specify the original 2005 release (without Blood Sugar) as the re-release was remastered and didn't sound anywhere near as rounded.
But I agree on above, Nosia's recent album (Splitting the Atom) is much, much better in all aspects from what Pendulum are doing today.
