Anyway, now that I've heard Epiclouder, I can finally post about it!
The first four tracks + Love and Marraige are absolutely wonderful. Absolutely great stuff. Especially Happy Birthday and Heatwave, those tracks are just fucking divine. Beautiful. Socialization really doesn't do it for me though, I don't care a whole lot for it. The others are all somewhere in between, usually around "pretty nice"
Can't really give it some definitive score out of ten, since I've only given it a few listens, but I like it a lot. It doesn't feel like a cohesive whole, but that's fine, because it isn't a whole, it's a series of leftovers. The blank spaces are irritating as hell, but I should be able to get rid of them pretty easily. As to whether it's better than Epicloud, I can't decide. I think they really can't be compared, honestly. The highlights for me are Hold On, Grace and Liberation on Loud, and Happy Birthday, Love and Marraige and Heatwave on Louder. I really don't think those can be compared at all. I might have a preference after some more time with it though.
As a Townsend album, the thing's fantastic. Really sucks that a lot of fans won't hear some of the fantastic tracks on this.
