2.0 out of 5 stars I tried to like it but..., June 6, 2006

I really just couldn't get into it. I am a huge fan of Tiger and the Duke and was anticipating this album highly. When i first listened to it I was dissapointed. I found it slow and uninteresting in some parts. So I tried listening to it numerous times and while I can listen to some tracks I tend to skip over many and get bored. Is this album artsy? Yes. Do they have talent? Yes. But it just isn't my taste.

Ive been reading the reviews for Lover, the Lord Has Left Us and I was pretty surprised. I realize that the album is on a different plane then what many are used to, with the chanting and the seemingly displaced "noise". But to call it pretentious is a little harsh. Sure TSOAF are trying to create something new, but they are decently cutting-edge. To be pretentious, TSOAF has to consist of charlatans who are trying to be something that theyre not. So how can you tell that this isnt the REAL TSOAF? You cant. Their discography is meager in amount and to judge this band on how theyre supposed to sound by an 8 track, 4 song ep is just an irresponsibly bad assumption, and we all know what happens when you assume. This album is just another art effort by TSOAF and I truly respect them for being different. So why dont people like the album? Because its nothing like The Tiger and the Duke. Dont get me wrong, I love that album, but how can someone call TTATD a creative voyage through music and experimentation and LTLHLU pretentious? If anything, TSOAF have found themselves deep within the forest that they began to explore on their first album. What did you expect, another TTATD? Why would you want a band as artistic, creative, and daring as TSOAF to remain on the same platform when they obviously have the wings to ascend? According to many, the only way for TSOAF to be original is to stick to their old sound. Oxymoronic? Id like to think so. TSOAF is without doubt different. Their individuality, although strived for, is not an act. I would recommend this album the same way I would recommend Omar A. Rodruiguez Lopez, or Godspeed! You Black Emperor, or the Mahavishnu Orchestra (I am by no means comparing these artists, just stressing their individuality) LTLHLU is unique. Find an album like it and you deserve a medal. In the meantime, listen to this album, just dont expect ANYTHING.

P.S. Cove Reber isnt even in TSOAF, thank god.

4.0 out of 5 stars Experimental always means one thing, don't judge too soon..., June 7, 2006

So I like many others here... jumped to the same conclusion after giving Lover, The Lord Has Left Us a listen. This isn't Tiger and the Duke... this is totally different, awkwardly different even. Immediately I was dissappointed because it did'nt have the same "rock out" portions like Tiger and The Duke... nor much to sing a long with. The mistake was that I gave up on the album after one listen. After about3 or 4 I started to pick out some of the beauties of the album... the creativity... the (although slow at times) flow from song to song... and the feeling of hearing a modern day jam session come to life. Do yourself a favor, listen to it... but listen to it without expecting more of the same. If you really think about it, experimental music is supposed to be different...fresh...brand new, not cookie cutter or repeat. This is definitely neither of those two. An open mind will reveal some love for this ...
