Disappointing.
Tras is a cool song. The video sucked.
Fantasy sucked for 9 and a half minutes!

What were you expecting from a CD single? Fantasy isn't that bad if you really listen to it. I can't listen to it in my car but on the headphones it's pretty cool because of all the weird shit that is going on.

Tras is great. I don't like Fantasy. I don't like the video. They should have put all of their releases on one full length CD instead of gouging like 27 dollars for about 45 minutes of music.
On another note, EP B comes out tomorrow! Woot woot!!!

I can't listen to it in my car but on the headphones it's pretty cool because of all the weird shit that is going on. I guess I'm still miffed because I kept waiting for something (anything) to happen during Fantasy. My primary interest for listening to Battles is the guitars, drums, and the keyboards. The dynamic textures created by four very interesting musicians. Not some half-assed ten minute jerk session made with Acid Music. I'd rather have a ten minute recording of the worst Battles jam session ever than Fantasy. However, I'll give Fantasy a few more listens (w/ headphones per your recommendation) but the main problem is, I'm very picky about electronica. It has to be really really really good for me to even bother with it. |

I hear you Slow Wizard. I think that if they had released the EP's all on one album we would all be sick of it. Plus I think they signed a deal with all the labels and instead of putting out a full length out they got lazy and just released EP's, plus they might be friends with all of the labels. I think EP B will be the best one because after seeing them live the songs I wanted to hear were not on the first 2 releases. The track Dance is worth the buy alone.

I have listened to EP B for about the 10th time and I must say it is very good if not there best release yet. I think I read in another post that this recording sounded bad but it sounds the same as the others. Rocktastic.

i think the video is a pun towards people who make music on their computer, like people that perform at a show with a power book or something. they just hit play and act like they're doing something. battles produces simular music, made with the talents of playing real instruments.
