We have seen three new albums released this season. Tuchchho - Cactus Bishesh Bishesh Ongsho Birotir Por - Lakkhichhara F3 - Fossils Please come forward and give us your views on these three, and tell us which one you liked the best and why.
My pick "Tuchchho" among the three. Impressed by the lyrics of tuchchho ami, rater pori, kobi dao. Pokkhiraj is really great 'lyrically and musically'. Lyrics of "Bhalo Theko" is good but composition could have been better. overall, new sound of cactus is impressive (special mention Allan on guitar, sandy on bass).
Don't - unless you really really want to torture yourself. Aamar kaache Tuchho best of the lot. Lakhhichhara--r sound-ta kemon jeno confused aar haphazard legechhe. F3-r production quality marattok, but gaan-gulo niye kichhu na bola-i bhalo.
.. there are songs like bhoot r tilottama, fire chaulo in f3.. which are very good for accoustic playing in 'parar adda' ... apart from that, there is nothing new in the sound or playing technique in f3.. but drums playing were really bad.. Lakkhichhara: too much experiments... a try of being a replica of DT is very much visible... Tuchho: best of the lot.. but bad sound editing..
hmm.. overcompressed chharao, distinctly sob kichhu sona jayni.. ei prottek ta instrument distinctly sona jawar case ta notun album gulor moddhe akmatro f3 te achhe..
I think Cactus wanted their sound to be like that. Not sure about it thought. By the way, Tuchho was mastered by Dave Collins, who also works with Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Soundgarden and Linkin Park. Its hard to imagine that he goofed up somewhere. No, I think that was the exact kind of sound that they wanted.
Maybe, we are not questioning the technical expertise behind that, but rather the decision behind it :. BTW, Tor recording-ta IGt-te link kor kothao. Signature-e thakle shobai kheyal nao korte paare.
F3 -te orchestral arrangement-er mixing bhalo. gaangulo mediocre, ekgheye. ar concept album korar jonno majhkhan-er jesob unnecessary noise achhe segulo preposterous ar overdone. Lakkhichhara'r progressive metal sound emni kharap na... but there's no variation in tone... shudhu chord progression are rhythm change korlei progressive hoyna. Subhajit's voice used to be better. Cactus-er album-ta kharap hoyni... catchy, nice melodies.
Ei to, Strat is also back. Ebar jodi keu Nik aar Lefty-ke firiye aante paare, tahole-i aamader old team aabar shompurno hobe.
