Sunn O))) & Ulver - Terrestrials

So, ever since these initial recordings / jam sessions were done back in 2008 Ulver and Sunn have been namedropping and hyping this release. Even after the monster track "CUTWOODeD" which was incredibly well produced and sonically interesting, I was sure hyped as hell by seeing an album full of this style coming up. Now, after more then 5 years it's finally coming, and I couldn't be more dissapointed.

The whole album has leaked already and this is my initial reaction to the first listening session:

I'll still give this a few more spins but, meh :( so, any thoughts on this?

edit: the album cover reminds me of the power rangers.

I was really looking forward to this lol.

I love the cover.

Working my way through it now. Sounds pretty fucking trippy. In a good way

Same here, I was so hyped. But the first listen was such a let down, except for the last track. So short though :(

Japanese version will get a bonus disc btw, so let's see what they put on there.

I like what I hear. Taking a punt on the Daymare version.

thanks for the heads up

I just bought the Daymare version of Altar (2 days ago it arrived). Awesome (though my wallet stung a little)

Damn is this one really that lame? I love both bands and was really looking forward to it, I'll give it a listen myself just to hear it, but man I really want this to be as epic as one would imagine a collab from these two should be.

Japanese (Daymare) copies available on ebay now (to pre-order). I can't seem to locate this release on Discogs, so I took the plunge on ebay. 2 copies left at the moment...Once again my wallet got stung, but its pay day, so fuck it

Awwww yeeeeeah

Daymare/Southern Lord cd's and vinyl are so very nice
