Ya earlier today.

this record is very good.

Hard to explain. I guess I found it a little boring; LP1 was a bit more dynamic and less - dare I say - jammy? It was a bit more in your face and had some hooks that really stood out. LP2 just kinda blurred together with the exception of The Plan, which gets stuck in my head for days.

I was just listening to LP1 and remember how much I absolutely LOVE that record. Then I went back to LP2 remembered how much I wanted to love it and didn't. I don't think I came around to 3. Wonder why this is 5000 and not 4000?

UP @ RFC and DW with exclusives.

Just came here to check on this - no info anywhere yet. V excited for this.

SUD into Milk Cow Blues is something special.

If there aren't any appealing swaps available, you'll be doing me a favor! If you don't get a sure-fire thing, hit me up in a couple weeks.

You transitioned from Reis to Froberg without warning.

Everyone is neglecting the catchy anthem rock greatness that is The Night Marchers, whom I would rank second to Hot Snakes.

Ha! No.

The record is in, and damn is it good. Like all good Hot Snakes, it makes me scowl and bob my head. Maybe shred some air guitar. The answers to life's biggest questions may even be hidden here. So glad they're back.

Yep. I've listened through 3 or so times and there are some really outstanding tracks. Not sure if it's the compression on the files or Google Music, but the mix sounds a little off - drums seem really far back.

Congrats man! Where's the house? I'm in the process too.

It brought me out of VC retirement. I may not be the biggest Brand New fanboy, but I sure do know a good show when I see one!

I think this is safe. The details say that the artwork is by Morning Breath, but we know the cover is a stock photo that was used by another band. I'm hoping for something original in the screen printing realm.

In the name of compiling information: I was able to snag a "limited vinyl" during round 2 last night. My receipt came in late, but only mentions "limited vinyl" and download, and did not include "relevant media" like the OG purchases.

Wasn't there an original pressing of this called "Inside The Dust Sleeve" or am I making that up?

Skip to 1:49! Those 10 seconds just loop in my brain forever.

Anyone find the RSD release?

Good bud of mine runs the label. He's the best guy ever. The label is a labor of love, but every release is high quality. Support them!

i got #2 and ordered relatively late.

Came in with #2. Anyone land #1?

i've decided the only artists i'm going to buy records from anymore are Self Defense Family and Bonnie "Prince" Billy. don't ask why. i don't know. but that's how it is and it feels good.

while the band is tighter than ever, the vocals is a touch too produced for my hulud likings. i always appreciated the more gritty and less polished vocals where chad sounded like he was about to bust a blood vessel tearing through the songs.
