Millions Now Living Will Never Die

crunchy post rock. There is some legit cool shit on this album. The bass tone on The Taut and Tame is exemplar.

I don't mind these kind of ambient, soft electronic albums. It's a very chill time for the most part, but it's never going to dazzle me.

Good post rock album, but not one that really encapsulated me. Agree should be on the list, but don’t think I’ll be coming back to this the same way I do a mogwai or sigar Rios album.

Halfway between Mogwai and Boards of Canada, but with its own jazz thing going on. Another one I should have been listening to at the time.

I really enjoy this kind of rock/jazz fusion "post-rock" sound. However, this isn't my favorite Tortoise material by far. Overall a worthy listen but doubtful it would be returned to. 3.5/5

I had this album for 20 years in my collection and heard eventualy a little bit of it. Now I'm exited to recover ist again. It's excellent.

From one experimental album to another. Millions Now Living Will Never Die is quite a bit more experimental than the last album i looked at. Especially with the first song. It took so many twists and turns that it felt like it could be split off into many different songs. I was also surprised when the audio got distorted on the first track which made me believe something was broken at first. I still found quite a bit to like about the experimentation even if some songs didn't have too much to them. I still liked this album and think it is worth a listen if this stuff interests you
Best Song: Djed
Worst Song: A Survey

I like it. Reminds me of “Latin” by Holy Fuck, but precedes it by 20 years. I wasn’t totally sold at first, but as it went on, I was impressed by the number of ideas and textures they conjured up. After the first 20 minute track, I was expecting the rest of the album to have a similar sound, but the second track really surprised me by how big it sounded.

I wasn’t familiar with the term “post-rock” ahead of this listen, but I like the idea of it. Focusing on timbre, texture, and minimalism—I definitely hear the Steve Reich influence, and about 11 minutes into “Djed” reminded me of Terry Riley’s “In C.”

Much more than math going on here. They venture out far beyond genres.

You know what you're getting when anything is "post-"*insert name of genre here. As expected, technically very accomplished without ever really getting the emotions pumping.

I'm not normally one for superlatives but this was a masterpiece

Never heard of Tortoise before today. Upon further research, it became clear as to why I hadn't heard of them. They are a "post rock" band. I was unsure of what the hell that meant, so I researched it a bit. From what I can gather, it is a genre that includes rock style guitars, which are overlaid with shitty electronica music. Fuck sakes, not more obscure electronica garbage...

Yes, more electronica garbage. This stuff is perhaps one of the worst helpings of electronica that I've heard thus far. I don't hear the "rock guitar" part, what I hear is static, screeching noises, xylophones, and distorted bass notes...all mixed together in a big shitty mess...and that's just the first song. Also, the first song is....21 MINUTES LONG!!! Why?!? I spent this entire record waiting for something to happen....they had 43 minutes, and NOTHING DID....AT ALL....

Overall, a garbage record, made by a band that sounds like Walmart brand Tool meets up with a game show host. I will never listen to this trash again, and am beginning to wonder who the hell created this list? Obviously someone obsessed with electronica music and obscure British bands, because this has absolutely no reason to be on this list.

Favorite song: Along the Banks of Rivers....I guess???

Least favorite songs: Djed, and the rest of this dumpster fire of a record.

1/5

Vaya, empieza fuerte "Djed" con 20 minutos seguidos sin avisar. En general se puede escuchar pero es bastante tostón.

I got excited when I realized it was going to be all instrumental, but it never really rose above passing the time alright

Pretty bad, pretty boring, really odd.
Like someone listened to the instrumentals from Radiohead albums and decided to make a tribute compilation.

2 minutes?

Classic post-rock album. The amount of electronic elements really sets them apart too.

I'd heard of Tortoise before, but hadn't listened to their albums. I had this one on in the background, and didn't pay much attention to it. Good interesting sounds, nothing that niggled me. Pleasant enough, but no idea when one track ended and the next started.

Tycker aldrig den här typen av instrumental post-rock lyfter riktigt.
