So remember this album? Fazer and what not. I was reminded of it on an ILE thread about Freshman yr at college. I loved it, would love to hear it again to be sure...but I'll say classic.

pass the salt pour it in my wounds.

Would listen to this non-stop when it was brand new. For people who wanted to like Helmet, but wished they sounded a little more like Fugazi.

Possible classic (may require review)

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Wednesday, 29 September 2004 12:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Classic. Could only be bettered with the inclusion of their cover of "How Soon Is Now." Quicksand's ascendency to this pinnacle pretty much destroyed hardcore. Seriously. After this record got big all the hardcore kids started dressing more nicely and getting those earrings that put big holes in your earlobes. I just couldn't understand it. Then emocore happened. Ugh. I will now just sit in my office and make old man moaning noises.

you know, that cover was included on the uk pressing of the cd. i had this. played it 3 times and traded it. so i guess i thought Dud at the time. do i regret getting rid now. yup. surely do.

Yeah, my copy is a dubbed cassette. I'd like to get that shit in a form I can actually listen to nowadays. Sounds like I should look for the UK version.

― BlastsOfStatic (BlastsofStatic), Wednesday, 29 September 2004 13:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd never heard (nor was I even aware of) this version of "How Soon is Now?" until the Smiths cover song thread a couple weeks ago. Just downloaded it actually. During the first listen, I wasn't sure if I liked it much. Second listen, I'm convinced it's fucking grand!

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Wednesday, 29 September 2004 13:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Crap. I need to get my paws on that track. Into the cassette crates I go.

― BlastsOfStatic (BlastsofStatic), Wednesday, 29 September 2004 16:05 (twenty-one years ago)

i've heard the "how soon is now" cover once and i really didn't like it. maybe i will re-listen once i get the chance.

CLASSIC!

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 29 September 2004 17:14 (twenty-one years ago)

oh,
classic btw.

ditto for manic compression.

― dysøn (dyson), Wednesday, 29 September 2004 17:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh yeah. Fuck yeah. Probably the most influential band at my high school. Not that Quicksand went to my high school, but the guys in bands who wanted to sound like them did.

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 29 September 2004 17:30 (twenty-one years ago)

really¿ you went to a cool high school.

― dysøn (dyson), Wednesday, 29 September 2004 17:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, I did.

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 29 September 2004 17:42 (twenty-one years ago)

quicksand = GREAT band
slip = CLASSIC album
sergio = top-notch barback @ niagara

one year passes...

Listened to a little bit of Slip on the train on the way into work this morning. It still sounds as good as when I first heard it. Definitely a classic album from a great band.

― J-rock (Julien Sandiford), Friday, 25 August 2006 01:43 (nineteen years ago)

Total classic. The reason why I started a posthardcore band.

Manic Compression is also really good.

― Marty Innerlogic (marty innerlogic), Sunday, 27 August 2006 11:57 (nineteen years ago)

"Manic Compression is also really good"

Amen. I always thought that it was a pretty underrated album, even by a lot of serious fans of the band.

― J-rock (Julien Sandiford), Monday, 28 August 2006 02:29 (nineteen years ago)

Saw 'em live open for the Offspring in 1995 -- and I had a photo pass so I was right up front. Fairly intense.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 28 August 2006 02:40 (nineteen years ago)

They played "Fazer" on Jimmy Fallon last night, and it sounds fucking stellar.

seven months pass...

Slip got an anniversary vinyl reissue earlier this year, still pretty easy to get a hold of but don't wait too long.

Just noticed tonight that Manic Compression was also just reissued by Asbestos. I don't like that one enough to own it, but if you... https://asbestosrecords.bigcartel.com/product/quicksand-manic-compression-lp

I have not listened to this for like 25 yrs. V classic as I listen to it again now.

My teenage kid is a big deftones fan but was playing slipknot in our car and i told her about my brief early 00s brainfart mistaken id case between slipknot and quicksand (with album called slip) and i then said ‘hey let’s listen to ‘slip.’ Seemed to like it fwiw

Those first two quicksand records are great. Not as warm to the newer stuff as some people are.
