If you had to assign just one adjective to each BoC album, what would you choose for each? For me, it would be:

MHTRTC - evocative
Geogaddi - claustrophobic
TCH - wistful
TH - desolate

What about you?
Red -
Orange - Aquarius
Yellow - Alpha and Omega
Green -
Blue -
Purple - Music is Math

MHTRTC - Vulnerable
Geogaddi - Fizzy, Enveloping, Down (in more ways than one)
The Campfire Headphase - Syrupy, Blurred
Tomorrow's Harvest - Entropic

Additionally, the first three are more personal. TH is more cultural.

Shit, i'll bite. Will read the other responses after I post because I don't want to be coloured by their choices! Plus I think it would be interesting to see how similar the feelings are.

MHTRTC - Nostalgic (to a far higher degree than the others)
Geogaddi - The Uncanny Valley (not really an adjective but it sums it up too perfectly for me)
TCH - Release (again.. more a verb but who cares?)
TH - Encompassing (this was the most difficult of all, but i'm still not happy with my answer. Tomorrow's Harvest is too deep of an album and too large of a concept as I percieve it to boil down to one adjective. I'm not trying to be pretencious, it's just how I feel about the album!)

Huh. I never thought to use the four humors/temperaments. I'm phlegmatic, but TCH isn't my favorite.
