Pendulum - Immersion, Out Monday May 24th

Is anyone else waiting for the new album from pendulum? I heard them live in about Feb/March and since the start of the year odd tracks in various states of completion have been creeping through the radio. The First single 'Watercolour' was released earlier this week. Track listing:

1. "Genesis"
2. "Salt in the Wounds"
3. "Watercolour"
4. "Set Me On Fire"
5. "Crush"
6. "Under the Waves"
7. "Immunize" (featuring Liam Howlett)
8. "The Island - Part I: Dawn"
9. "The Island - Part II: Dusk"
10. "Comprachicos"
11. "The Vulture"
12. "Witchcraft"
13. "Self versus Self" (featuring In Flames)
14. "The Fountain" (featuring Steven Wilson)
15. "Encoder"

I have to say I like most of the tracks I've heard. I think atm 'Set me on Fire' and 'The Island' are my favourites. It may just be they weren't quite finished but a lot of them seem to be instrumentals. I'm waiting, though 'spiral' is still my favourite pendulum track.

No love for this album on head-fi? Oh well!

I picked it up this morning and have been listening to it most of the day. I like it although it strikes as having a bit of a split personality, due mainly to them following their fans rather than the other way round, "Self vs. Self ft. In Flames" in particular is a bit wierd but at least they tried. It has a lot of variety in it, from obvious remakes of 'Slam' (Salt in the Wounds comes to mind), a few tracks along a similar vibe as In Silico to much more classic pendulum sounds. My new favourite on the album is ''Encoder'' followed closely by "The Island".

I don't think much of their new drummer but i'm sure he'll work out fine eventually.

'Watercolour' and 'Crush' I'll give you but I don't think any others would be at home on In Silico...
