BYAMPOD EARLY ACCESS: An Hour Before It's Dark - REVIEWED!
Added 2022-02-17 21:11:20 +0000 UTC
Beware spoilers. You won't want to listen to this if you prefer to hear to the new album without any preconceived notions. We go in-depth with many of the lyrics... and get completely out of our depth in trying to describe the music.
Warning: it gets VERY emotional. But then, so does the absolutely amazing album that we're talking about.
If you would prefer to hear me embarrassing my wife over her farting, just listen to the first 5 minutes and the last 5 minutes.
Episode 69. Nice!
Thanks, mister.

Brilliant. Was doing great until about the hour mark and the discussion on mortality, ageing and the importance of treasuring what is left. Yeah that got me. You both discussed it in such a beautiful way though. As a middle aged person coming to terms with the realisation Iβve probably lived half my life already that resonated with me, but yeah it doesnβt have to be a completely sad realisation. Wonderful episode.

Thank you for your review. I canβt really write much as I can hardly see my phone screen through my tears. You sods. Iβll take this review over ANY industry review.
Hugs.

El Dorado I like, but I really have to be in the right mood for it! The Leavers and White Paper I can listen to at any time!

What a lovely comment. Thanks, Simon. Really appreciate that. You're going to love the album.

Also, I love your comments on Jim Steinman, Montreal, and El Dorado. I feel the same about all three points. Re: El Dorado, I GREATLY prefer the song in the mid-section of Fear rather than leading off the album.

What a great episode. After reading the description, I was prepared to hear you and Sanja getting emotional over the album, but I wasn't expecting to get emotional myself. In a world of media, both social and mainstream, that's full of bravado, cynicism, insincerity, superficiality, contrivance and trend chasing, it's so great to hear people speaking with genuine enthusiasm, passion and emotion about things that mean so much to them. If you ever wonder why people listen to and watch your output, this is why. You're just bloody lovely people.
Can't wait to get my copy of the album!

I'm genuinely a bit ashamed about those book-ends.

Begins with a fart, ends with a fart, that's BYAMPOD.

Paul and Sanja - Shillmarillion π. Only joking, great to hear how much you love the new album.

Great episode! Bit weird listening to you talking about stuff weβre not already familiar with. Would be interesting to hear you review your review in, say, a yearβs time?

Melodic Marillion - the best. Cut and paste songwriting/abrupt changes Marillion - not so much (if there's another Montreal, I'm skimming the CD across the room). Now slightly anxious after loving everything I've heard of the album so far.
