Well I can't help but feel sadened by that. Oh well, people are entitled to taste.

In fact, I never had much faith Purple Bard was all that good. Everyone else makes nice orchestral pieces with vocals while I feel that mine is an ugly sore. I didn't even pick Gamzee. I just sorta titled it Paradox Shard and let the music team decide on a character and name.

I should probably just stop caring what people think of it before I even start.

Nah, most people i've talked to have liked purple bard. i don't dislike the song myself, it's just not something that's in my taste, no reason to feel bad about that, man. It's well made, certainly.

Cheer up mate! My girlfriend and I were having a slow romantic dance while listening to the coloUrs album. (We're both big fans of Homestuck.) When Purple Bard came on, after we had been dancing for a while, I proposed to her. That song is going to play at our wedding!!!!!!

O_O

Oh god. Man, that's...wow. I never heard of someone proposing to Homestuck music. That's awesome. Congrats!

[Menen]

It seems alot of songs remind me of MMO games for some reason...

[obolisk0430]

Dat album...

[Wessolf27]

Loved the album, for me a lot of the songs stood out, Bronze Rebel, Gold Pilot, Iron Infidel, Olive Scribe... actually.. it's so hard to choose which ones are my favorites here. But I gotta say that I've been constantly listening to Your Universe and Temporal Shenanigans. For some reason, I really can't help but imagine some sort of animation coming in tune with these two songs, especially Your Universe. Funny thing is, at the last few parts before the end, after the "shot" stanza, I was imagining Spades Slick in Hussie's Hospital being treated to some hot licorice scottie soup by Ms. Paint. XD

It'd be so awesome if there was a true animation with that, something kinda Fantasia-esque, but eh, that's asking too much.

[Quirk]

Why does Eridan always get the best themesongs? Because he gets all the best theme songs.

Dayum. Applause all around for you.

[Electricwestern]

I gotta say, while I really like this album, it doesn't feel very "homestucky" to me. I was expecting more character themes, ala Alterniabound. I do like the music, but it just feels really different.

[Blaperile]

I'm not even halfway through yet, but I am REALLY liking what I am hearing so far.

They are all very awesome in my opinion. If I had to appoint one as my least favorite, it would have to be Iron Infedel because it was much too short in my opinion, while being cool too!

I'll give bigger opinions when I'm done listening to them all.

[ailsagraystone]

I really like this album. Yes, some of the songs are short but its amazing anyway.

Temporal Shenanigans is my favorite song. That and Colbalt Theif.

[Aigis]

My issue with Bronze Page isn't the song itself. It is, as others have mentioned, adorable and dorky, which I'm okay with. My issue is that it was put into this album as Tavros' theme, when it's much closer to being the theme song for "Fiduspawn: the TV show". That, coupled with the fact that it's so short, makes it seem like Tavros kind of got the short end of the stick here. But then, what else is new?

It's too bad they didn't choose my imaginary Tavros theme, "Do You Believe in Life After Legs?"

[AcePooplord]

It's too bad they didn't choose my imaginary Tavros theme, "Do You Believe in Life After Legs?"

Now you've done it. I can hear that in Cher's voice... *bangs head on table to make it STOP*

But seriously, I'm halfway through, so I haven't heard Bronze Page yet... curious as to what all the fuss is about. I like experimental pieces; hope it fits that description! A lot of work went into all of these pieces, I'm sure (except, perhaps, the two that were pulled), and music is such a subjective thing. I've heard people that loved mine, and a few that thought it was just OK or a touch too long, and that's cool, too. Musical tastes are so varied... even one artist can do the best thing AND the worst thing you've ever heard, and all on one single album!

Or is this all just about Tavros getting the shaft?

This is because the music is by people who are not on the music team and therefore have different styles than what is normally on the albums

Strife wasn't very Homestucky either but more and more hard rock started seeping into Homestuck after Tensei made it not just a Vriska thing

Huh! So of the 22 surviving songs excluding the bonuses, only 6 were actually written for the character to which they're attributed? Makes the whole theme seem kind of pointless. Also explains why a lot of them are miles off from their character!

[Dragonstorm]

Out of all the songs, I've decided on the following list of extremely well-liked songs that I'll listen to constantly:

Rust Servant, Bronze Rebel, Gold Pilot, Iron Infidel, Olive Scribe, Teal Hunter, Fuchsia Ruler, Iron Knight, Cobalt Thief, Violet Prince, and Superego.

'Tis a good album.

[ArmsAreLoud]

So yeah Your Universe is arguably the best thing ever

Gives me chills every time I hear it.

I want to hear a version with the pronouns switched around so it is from Slick's perspective.

[DenizenShipper]

I can't decide how I feel about Tavros' theme. It is either my favourite theme, or my least favourite theme. It has a certain brilliance, either way. And I agree with everyone saying that it works better as "metal-accentuated" then pure metal.

Also wow, I think I'm in love with Temporal Shenanigans. "I'm going around, not in circles but in spirographs." Brilliant!

Yeah, pretty much.

[Primal Zed]

So does purchasing this album not include the art, or did I miss them somehow?

They should be embedded in the audio files but they're not included separately.

[PhoenixMichi]

So I took the time to listen to all of em. And my favs ended up to be:



Myes

[Drillgorg]

Ahhhh, I just finished side one and Fuchsia Ruler was my favorite, followed by Gold Pilot.

[EidolonOrpheus]

Hehe, mainly because afterwards Malcolm returned and I figured out a good way to record.

[rightleftwinger]

oh my god temporal shenanigans is perfection. your universe is up there as well.
