A discord server? Oh we have 2 or 3 of them, already. 4 maybe.

So.....

Um....

What's a discord server?

Haha, it's basically a glorified chat room. Much like a Modernized IRC. We can chat, share music, share memes, and even speak using our voices. It's just another way to stay connected to a community. I have the link in my previous post. It's a really nice avenue for communities.

Click this link to go into the server: https://discord.gg/wZsxGs7Xnw

I really recommend downloading the actual discord app though

Well, I went ahead and made the server. It might just be you and me! The link is below. I just made it so I'll have to set some channels up and stuff. Definitely recommend downloading the discord app, way nicer than the web one.

Would anybody on here be interested in joining or starting a discord server for Frost*? Unless one already exists. It would be a fun way to stay connected to the Frosti-verse

I guess there was a new Frost* report today? What is going on from 3:11 to 3:55? And what on earth is falpator? Jem you would make a killing designing easter eggs in video games.

Neat! I'll definitely make the trek across the pond to the Southampton show! And see family in Reading, I guess........

So that's a "no" then.

Anyway Happy Independence day. Amexit?

I believe that's already happened 

There is a "Texit" movement here in Texas for some reason though

So are you guys still alive over there or what?

I only just got the album a couple days ago since I live in Texas. In my excitement I just couldn't wait (I banned myself from listening to it on spotify until I obtained the CD), and threw the CD into the car and listened to it on my way to work. I listened as intently as I could while watching the world around me flood, literally. And there was just so much going on that I couldn't get into it. Especially TIOWEOTIHSDOIFN in 7/8ths. I was disappointed. I listened to the whole album that way. Couldn't find a groove, felt like there were too many slow bits, and just too much noise.

BUT THEN I finally got some time at home to just sit and listen to it on my nice audio set-up (HD650s, Schiit modi2/magni2uber) and oh my goodness was I ever mistaken. What a great album! So many details, even more so than EIMA. There literally isn't a bad song on the album. It's so fresh and modern and just what I expected Frost* to put out. I love it. It's very vocal heavy, which is different for me but I still like it. Both Jem and JM have perfect voices for this album and they harmonized all the lines really well. The writing is top notch; there's no cheese to be found. So far I really love Lights out and Heartstrings. I can see myself listening to this album MANY times in the future; all that noise isn't just noise, it's passion and love and fun and little details that make you rewind 5 seconds to listen to a gliss or an effect again.

In short, exceeded expectations, and now because of Frost* I've bought a synth. I don't even know how to play the keyboard. Thanks a lot. 

EDIT: and yes the clonk on Towerblock scared the shit out of me Especially on my headphones. I thought someone was trying to break in 

[really]

Aaargh! My ears! 

No you don't  understand, it's just really progressive!

[phat]

It's lovely! I love the phat keyboards Jem has going on too. It's also appeared on Spotify in high quality! Hooray!

I feel like the Genesis' Firth of Fifth is a no-brainer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SD5engyVXe0

Of course, he's done an ELO cover, and then an ELP cover. Sounds like ELQ is next, whoever they are!

I had stopped following Frost (never stopped listening though!) since I graduated college and started working about 5 years ago. Apparently I missed quite a bit! I was youtubing Jethro Tull, and I was reminded of a Frost Report where John Mitchell sang and played Thick as a Brick, much to the chagrin of Jem. So I looked up Frost reports and I saw Heartstrings on the youtube channel. I was so confused until I saw the new album coming out in just a month! Needless to say I pre-ordered it on the spot. It sounds great, and I loved going through all the Frost reports and seeing Jem pour so much passion and detail into his work. Reminded me of why I loved this band in the first place.

Oh and apparently I missed a big thing about an ELP cover? It sounded neat. Is it one of the few things that's been lost on the internet now? anyway, nice to be back!

I wonder what this tells about the future sound  :?:

I haven't been on these forums in a while but I'm coming back just so I can say WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
