Anybody here a fan of Falling Up?

Post by Taps »

So, I recently decided to buy an album by Falling Up! Having heard good things about them from a few members on this board, and a few friends in "real life" \:D/ So I bought the album Fangs! And gave it a listen... it ended up being one of the most captivating, inspiring, beautiful, and fascinating albums I have ever heard. I really dug the story, and started piecing it all together as I listened... I thought it was an amazing story. So I decided to buy "Your Sparkling Death Cometh" and have just listened for the second time- again, a simply phenomenal album. Right now I cannot possibly choose which I enjoy more- but I have found out that Falling Up has just become one of my favorite artists of all time \:D/ So anybody else here a fan of Falling Up?

After perusing this forum, I am finding my musical knowledge woefully inadequate.

Translation: No, I've never heard them. :( Yet.

Falling Up is amazing.

Fangs! is an amazing album, and Your Sparkling Death is very very good as well.

I have some of their songs, though I have yet to make any effort at listening to new music in full recently. TOO BUSY. *tear*

I do love 'Good Morning Planetarium'. \:D/

Yeah, I'm always very surprised at the hate "Fangs!" Has gotten. In my opinion it is their best- and I think "Crashings" was their worst. (From the 5 songs I've heard off that album) I guess it's not "energetic" enough for people and they miss the "old Falling Up" However I find the new artistic Falling Up much more fascinating and exciting :yes:

Definitely. I'm actually not too surprised at hate for Fangs! just because people generally don't like when a band that has a really mainstream and accessible sound does something really weird and artistic. Your Sparkling Death wasn't nearly as weird, so a lot more people liked it, but I actually thing Fangs! was better.

The only album I have of Falling Up is "Crashings" and I did like it, but I haven't listened to it for years. I may check out their newer CD's sometime, just for kicks.
