Drink The Sea

I just discovered this. Here's how I understand it. There guys took their glitch edm tools and set out to make one killer transcendent album. Its kind of retro sounding, a tiny bit dubsteppy. but its got its own sound. I'm not sure why it works so well. Is it the understated production that doesn't BLOW YOU AWAY IMMEDIATELY like so much electronic music? Was this intentional? An accident? I really don't know, but the whole thing works. Its loose, an electro jam. Got some world music flavor buried in there somewhere and some garage rock sensibility.I don't like the next album at all. I think this was a one time deal. You can only make one album like this and you need a whole new set of sounds. Instead these guys went more mainstream or something. They need to make another album like this with a new palette of sounds or adding vocals in creative ways. They should stay in the experimental/ epic-y zone where this one iz Sucks when you gotta pay bills and chase success .I don't know if they'll ever follow this up, but this is good. Its one of the few electronic music experiences that feels natural and breathes and is organic and expansive--like some of the orb's best stuff. So often electronic music is claustrophobic and artificial

As of now there is only a single 2 star review, did the other reviewers get shamed out of their rating?I found these guys through YouTube adventures, and I have never been more pleased with the suggestion. Usually YouTube couldn't be more wrong with what it thinks I would like. While I can be picky with what I like, this album has my respect entirely. The sound is mixed so intelligently and as previously rated by someone else, it never gets stale. Each song is new and different... to me, anyway.I've listened to this so much, my brother knows it's Glitch Mob when I'm humming to myself. The smooth rhythms make this good music to listen to when I'm working and thinking because it's nonabrasive while still interesting so not to put me to sleep. After a month or so, I'm surprised to realize that most of these songs don't have vocals or lyrics. The songs are so interesting they don't need vocals! Nonetheless, "Between Two Points" is so sexy and was sort of my favorite at first. Now it's hard to say because I like all the songs. Currently I'm favoring "Drive It Like You Stole It".I'm more of a fan of Darkwave or Industrial music among other various and random things but don't like my food mixing. On the other hand, this album transcends genres entirely creating a vibe that's both primal and futuristic. When listening, I can't help but think I'm in some new plain of existence entirely, creating new worlds. This is good music. I've definitely become a huge fan.

I dig it. I love to immerse myself in this album. It's rich, creative, transports you into its own world. I'm a writer and this actually is one of my "soundtracks" right now for inspiration. I used to live in NYC and a couple years in Tokyo. I'd go for long walks with the skull candies and a few fave albums. I loved Blockhead and Gorillaz, Corinne Baily Rae and Gwen Stefani. lol I know, interesting mix. This totally would've been one of those albums. Now, I have surround sound and state of the art speakers, so I can rock out walking around my kitchen instead. :) Good for the soles. Prevents blisters. <3 But seriously, super dope album.

After hearing their remix of "Derezzed" on Tron: Legacy Reconfigured, I went out looking for more by the Glitch Mob. Their stuff seems to turn up lots of hits on various compilations, but this was the only album I could find consisting of only their work.The album is pretty fantastic throughout -- never too dissonant, but the rhythm never gets too monotonous to bore. The build-break-drop pattern iterates so quickly that it almost gives a melody of its own. Autotuning normally bugs me, but its use in "Between Two Points" worked out quite well, creating a very sultry and beautiful song. "Drive It Like You Stole It," is definitely the high point of the album.If you're looking for intelligent electronic music, I highly recommend this album.

I get the points made that it's a bit more lethargic than what they're normally known for. Personally, I call it more "moody". I really like it. I've listened to the album continuously for a few days now and it's just as good as when I started. It's all cohesive yet doesn't go stale at any point for me. Being a creative professional, I spend long hours on the computer developing - it's a great companion album for that. If you're into Glitch Mob and you don't NEED to bust out glow sticks every time you play the record, it's a good buy I think.

I am not a fan of 'dubstep' or whatever it is that the kids today are listening to. The only other 'techno' type music I have ever listened to was Orbital "in sides". I typically listen to rock, metal and hip hop. That said, I love this album. Great changes in most of the tracks, give the album a very dramatic sweep over the span of the 10 tracks. I can't give an in depth review of the tracks as I'm completely unfamiliar with the genre, but I can say that this album is very fun to listen to and that it keeps me interested almost all the way through. (kinda loses me on the dream within a dream - until the breakdown..).

I saw glitch mob videos on HDNET a few times and thought in a club this would be pretty cool. I got this and played it in my Jeep loud and it worked. Then I carried it into the gym and it worked there too.This complilation of songs works well as ambient or driving beat with quirky twists and turns that you can sometimes anticipate and other time surprises you and makes you smile.get this if your looking for musics that works. If you don't understand what music that works means then get it anyway and take a few minutes to learn something new.

An intense album on Vinyl, really dubsteppy but at its core something entirely new. I think edm fans will look back at this album as a waypoint for an emergent sound in the future, along with Bassnectar's work. Caught me off-guard, but in a good way.

Beautiful packaging. Great record quality. Includes a little card to electronically download the music aswell. A must for any Glitch Mob fan with a record player.

Unusual music, I heard it alongside somebodies you tube video

My vinyl glitched and I got mobbed by a bunch of angry dwarves. Great sound though. 5/5

Disco fantastico, ma... Edizione in vinile di scarsa qualità, non per la qualità sonora in sè che sarebbe ottima e molto dinamica, ma per il fatto che è stampata a un livello bassissimo, per cui risulta molto molto rumoroso, pieno di fruscii ignorabili solo nei momenti di musica più intensi, dato che oltretutto i dischi sono sporchissimi, veramente unti. Inoltre la copertina è di cartone abbastanza di bassa qualità (che è anche arrivata con un brutto striscio/taglio, che per fortuna però è laterale), in sintesi un prodotto veramente di scarsa qualità.

Ich kann garnicht mehr genau sagen, wann ich dieses Album gekauft habe, das muss Jahre her sein. Auf unterschiedlichsten "Hörpfaden" komme ich aber immer wieder an diesen zunächst vermeintlichen Fehlkauf.Mal höre ich Hip-Hop, durch aufmerksamkeitfordernde Texte, und möchte irgendwann Musik nur noch nebenbei laufen lassen. Die Beats würden sich für Hip-Hop-Lieder gut eignen. Dann höre ich elektronische Musik und habe zwischendrin den Zwang, zwischen überzogenen Pseudo-Coverversionen mal die Boxen zu beruhigen und lande wieder hier. Zuletzt habe ich mich nochmal in die Acid-Region gewagt und die Ambient-Musik von Herrn Twin als Einstieg und dann wieder dieses Album als Ausklang gehört. Glitch ist das Hip-Hop-Pendant zum elektronischeren Acid.Ich verstehe, dass manchen das Album zu wenig anspruchsvoll ist, aber anspruchsvoll will das ganze Genre auch nicht sein. Glitch ist Ambient und funktioniert als dezente Hintergrundmusik bei Abenden mit Freunden genauso perfekt wie als musikalischer Begleiter langer Autofahrten in beliebiger Lautstärke.Jedes Mal, wenn ich diese "Weiterentwicklung" von EDit - so kam ich zu The Glitch Mob - höre, vermisse ich die Meisterwerke der Computerspieleschmiede "Origin - We create Worlds", die leider wie so viele Electronic Arts zum Opfer gefallen ist. Ein Nachfolger der beiden Crusader-Titel untermalt mit Klängen dieser Synthesizer 2.0-Combo, das würde mehr als nur funktionieren.Übrigens: Wer The Glitch Mob mag, wird auch EDit, Bassnectar, Pretty Lights oder Ronald Jenkees mögen - oder auch Aphex Twin, wenn es mal etwas härter sein soll.
