Pelican

[SickOfStars]

Say someone was, hypothetically, trying to get into this band. Which album should one start with? and which is their "crowning achievement"?

[lawofaverages]

it doesnt really matter which one you start with. They all don't really sound entirely the same. The s/t is incredibly heavy. "Australasia" is a bit toned down, but still heavy in some songs. and "The Fire In Our Throats Beckons The Thaw" or w/e its called isn't really all that heavy at all. They're all fantastic releases. "Australasia" falls into a median between both their first release and their newest, I guess.

[Czarsy]

Good shit.

Try The Fire In Our Throats Wil Beckon The Thaw. That is what I listened to first.

[last light]

i like australasia the best.

[EyesOfMadness]

Australasia.

[joss d.]

australasia is amazing but the fire in our throats is more accesible

[duffe]

the fire in our throats is more accesible

I haven't given Pelican the listening attention I hear they deserve. I should change this.

There might be hope for this fucked up board after all.

ThaT is if people continue to make threads about such great bands as Pelican.

Pelican slay about 90% of the shit ever talked about around here.

I got the March Into the Sea EP, not the best introduction.

seriously "March into the Sea" is like my favorite song by them

[itypedformiles]

Pelican were aweseom live, they played alongside cave in last time they were over here
in a 45 minute set they must have played about 3 songs, really epic

[SickOfStars]

Guys, c'mon now, how "accessible" does it need to be for me?

Just to spite y'all, I am going to grab the S/T (which donny said was heaviest) and Australasia.

[indexfor...]

dude you want their most inaccesible album?

get the split with Mono

It has my favorite version of "March into the Sea" and its twenty minutes long, also a cool remix of "Angel Tears"


favorite song on the S/T "The Forcast"

oh, I was just joshing. It was just kind of funny because it sounded like some people were trying to ease me off of a band like Atreyu or something.
