Re-listened to Noctourniquet after many years and I enjoyed it a lot more than I used to. I had forgotten how catchy some of its hooks were; they were hidden inside my brain and immediately popped up now. My enjoyment back then was tainted by the fact that so many people had left the band by the time the album was out (seriously, Omar plays almost everything on that record). Though I still miss Ikey, I noticed many more interesting synth ideas by Omar this time around. My favorite will always be The Bedlam in Goliath for a number of reasons. Octahedron and De-Loused are excellent, Tremulant is great, Frances the Mute is a beast of a record that I still haven't fully deciphered, never got into Amputechture (though I love Asilos Magdalena and Viscera Eyes). Very curious to listen to Landscape Tantrums, which is up on Spotify now. And I'm tempted to give Amputechture another shot after all those years.
