Cool 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).

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.

This band sounds like rock plus DnB. I don't understand what is so special about it. This is so common in pop music: take a generic well known sound from a genre that hasn't hit mainstream yet, and mix it in with some vocals. I wouldn't mind listening to this on the radio, because it's a little bit different than the norm, but it's almost as cliched as any EDM track out there. There's that completely uninterrupted bombastic sound that does not stop and stereotypical limited amount of dynamics.
