Eunuchs - Harbour Century ALBUM REVIEW

[@Eunuchs]

Thank you so much for listening! We really appreciate it! After all 5 is the luckiest number, the record's length is 55.55. The numbers line up, all part of Eunuchs' grand plan.

Surreal seeing bigger reviewers talk about Eunuchs. Their music is too good for the underground

To be fair, that's a long one and I had to sit with it for a while before reviewing it.

At the least he will put a lo-fi MP4 20 minute review on Mega. 😅 Lo-fi 6.

That is such a shame, because it’s a hard 9 maybe light 10 for me.

[@hupaz123]

Shout out Kristo!

[@gregatronn]

Glad you covered this. being it’s my introduction to the band it couldn’t have been a better one. I find this album to be fascinating. Evocative vocals, The production and songwriting executed entirely by the band and engineering it themselves is beyond impressive to me for how detailed it is, and still managing to be enjoyable to listen to. I’mma go with an 8. There’s room for improvement but it was a very cohesive album and there isn’t much to complain about outside the slightly confusing narrative of the record, and patience testing abrasive textures depending on your limitations. The vinyl will probably offer some answers on the concept when it gets here, and the artwork for each song is magnificent !

[@dexterhooyer3364]

Bird angel dynasty is a banger of a song

[@rateeightx]

Real. I love how devious it sounds.

[@skirval_]

he just doesn't understand that this is poetry to Australians, Americans could never understand

[@SyphroPlays]

As an American who listened before I watched this video, I gave it a 95/100 on my first listen and then proceeded to listen 3 more times cuz I loved it so much (not typical for a music listener like me)

[@easybakec0ven]

my favorite album of the year. i cannot keep supporting you anthony

[@HellGirlWalking]

unless this gets more people into Eunuchs anyways and my 1 of 100 vinyl becomes worth a million dollars

[@milosquerra3285]

I have a vinyl too 😎

[@RiverTSM]

I loved this album personally despite not really having listened to Black MIDI, BCNR, etc, it's even one of my personal contenders for AOTY 2024, but I can definitely see where the singing and finer compositional points could become an issue.

[@iFloops]

Wow. What a thorough, well-put review. I really appreciate your attention to detail and your thoughtful descriptions of the sounds and concepts on each track. Though we don't always agree, I always look forward to any insight I can gleam from your reviews. Unsubscribed.

I thought this record was incredible! I loved the Mr bungle esque provocativeness and creativity. I also thought that the production was very solid with the different amount of instruments. but that's just my opinion. nice review!

this was my favorite album of 2024, either this or Patricia taxxon's bicycle. ive been fallowing eunuchs since there debut and also loved that!

It's been a long time since I strongly disagreed with one of your reviews! I find this album very good and I always want to come back to it

[@oh_banana]

Glad I checked this out despite the 5 because this record is phenomenal. I don't hear most of the shortcomings in the performance, in fact I think the vocalist really sells the act and most songs are consistently unpredictably proggy in the best way. I think the band did good work and the symphony enhanced it all perfectly.

[@badlula17]

These guys had so much potential. They’ve shown it in a few singles, but in the end the album just feels like every ingredient mixed at once with little regard for a greater concept. I can see them making good albums down the line tho.

[@WickedWisdom55]

Idk what you're saying about Siren, it's got a verse, chorus, a bridge, an outro. It's a fully thought out song, idea and structure wise. I didn't feel like it bounced around at all And even Heroin King, while 17 minutes, if you listen to it and follow along with the narrative it can be easily broken up into different movements that slow burn and clima brilliantly Mark my words, once these guys release their big album people are going to look back and see how underrated Harbour Century truly is

You better review the new mysterines album when it comes out Anthony

[@rateeightx]

Oh wow, Surprised I didn't see this sooner, I remember around when the album came out I was actually hoping Fantano would cover it haha! Anyway, There's gonna be a hard disagree on my part. Harbour Century is honestly the most excited I've been for an album pre-release since 2022 _at least,_ possibly even longer, and when I listened just after release I gave it a 9/10. In hindsight, I _may_ have overrated it a tad, But it's definitely _at least_ a 7 in my book. I definitely see the comparisons to bands like BC,NR or Black Midi (The latter of which I really need to check out more of, Tbh.), But one thing Eunuchs bring to the table that the others (From what I've heard, at least) lack is heaviness, Yes in the vocals, With the screaming strewn about the album, But also in the instrumentation in many places. "Pat A Dragon" is primarily horns on the instrumentation, yet still manages to feel very heavy, which is something I absolutely love and would hope to see more of. I disagree about the vocals, too, while I'll admit they're not the greatest, I'd say they're by no means bad, and don't detract from the songs at all to me. And the closer, "Heroin King", I'd actually bring up as a fantastic example of a long song done well because, Frankly, It doesn't feel that long? I mean it feels somewhat long, Don't get me wrong, but I've multiple times had the experience of listening to it, And checking to see how much is left, Only to see I'm already like 7 minutes in when I thought I was just like 2-4, and the ending of it is just phenomenal in my opinion. It also, to me, feels far more coherent as a single piece of music than many other long songs, even some I quite enjoy, such as Sufjan's "Impossible Soul" or Dream Theater's "Octavarium", which are broken into a number of distinct parts that don't always feel to fit together quite perfectly. Anyway, Glad you covered it anyway, Hope at least some people decided to check it out because of this, And I must say I'm very excited for what they put out next, Which I'm sure will be even better. EDIT: I do think much of my enjoyment of the album could be somewhat due to my unfamiliarity with other stuff in the style; When I first heard "Magic Death Sea Nemesis" as a single a couple months before the album came out, I was in awe, I was blown away, Because it was just completely unlike anything I'd ever heard, So heavy, so chaotic, So, Just, Good. And while the sound grew more familiar as the album's release drew, And I listened to the singles much, It's still not really comparable to anything else I've heard, Like there are some similarities to the like 3 Black Midi tracks I've heard, or BC,NR's stuff I've heard, But there's definitely something very distinct about it too, That I loved. It's quite possible my love of it could grow less with increased exposure to similar stuff, But I still don't expect it to fall below a 7.

As a Sydney native, this band’s attitude, sound, and story-telling/themes sound like it could’ve only come out of Sydney specifically. Like Aussies in general will still get it and resonate with it but it’s still a very Sydney specific sound/concept they got
