It features an appalling amount of overlap with my own. I found myself grinning like an idiot just scrolling down it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell us something about the album // The transucent red variant is sold out, black is now available. The album is really good. The LP plays nicely. The mastering is really well done. No inner groove distortion. I've actually only played the LP once but I've listened to the CD 1000 times by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the tour lined up with a random vacation week I requested months ago. I'm going to be camping and exploring all around southern Oregon and Northern California while catching 4 of the shows. I'll be ending in San Francisco and then heading back to Portland either Saturday or Sunday. Thanks for the compliment on the collection. I also haven't even updated that list in 2 or 3 years so it's even much better now. Fridge Fox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'll be at that Chico show, you ought to hit me up and say hello. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Still bummed that I'm out of town for the Seattle show! I hadn't spent as much time with The Deal as I would have liked before I saw them last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Watching this performance is way better than listening to the Deal studio recording. There's just something lifeless and stiff feeling about the record. GHOSTDRONES 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridge Fox Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I wonder if they will have any variant of The Deal at their show on Sunday. That Red looks nice but I'm not sure it will be on tour since it's just a preorder right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizio59 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I've just got shipping confirmation for the red variant shipped from UK, not yet for the clear + shirt bundle which I've also ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaymond00 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) Talked to Brian a bit at the show tonight, they have the red on tour with them. Bought the CD since I already have the clear vinyl coming via preorder. Listened to it tonight and can confidently say that it will be an AOTY contender. Too good.

davepriz Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 The show was soo good. They only played about 40 minutes and I was fully prepared for another 30. Aaron had so much more energy on stage this tour and they sounded impeccably tight on their older tracks. Was really hoping for the silver on tour because I thought I read that however I was told it was either black or red and Brian wasn't sure. Also, a bunch of vinyl including the newly repressed These Arms Are Snakes. Well, 3 more shows for me and no complaints! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if the band before played too long and sumac had to cut the set short because they stopped right at midnight. Feeling kind of burned since I drove 3 hours and they only played 4 songs. I'm fairly confident that wasn't their fault though. I don't regret going though. The songs are amazing live and the new album is glorious.

Yeah it was weird that they ended at 12 on the dot and Brian was literally selling merch before Aaron even had his guitar off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely felt a little gypped. The energy was peaking after they played The Deal, I was fully prepared for at least another song or 2. Still stoked to have been there, Clutch Of Oblivion had me literally giggling at it's unrelenting ferocity. I hope they play out again soon.

fizio59 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I had to make two different orders for the clear/t-shirt bundle and for the red. The red should be delivered today or tomorrow but I haven't received any shipping notification for the clear/t-shirt yet. Do any one who ordered the bundle too or even only the t-shirt got shipping notification for that? My feeling is that they don't have t-shirts yet.

andi Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 I ordered the clear and the red, in two different orders. Got shipping notifications for both. Clear arrived today, Red should be here in 2 or 3 days. Looks like the vinyl is in hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
