Only the black variant is delayed.... On the other hand, what you say doesn't make any sense: you want to see the black/white (which I posted pics of), but the grey looks cooler? This implies you have seen the black/white... Okay so he must have ordered them all, and they're delaying the whole shipment to him. Haha and yeah, good catch. What I meant was that the Gray looks so much cooler than the mockup, it looks great with the album artwork. But yeah, I was a little confused because I also thought that I had seen the black/white, but I've been so busy lately I considered that perhaps it was a dream lol.

lexicondevil Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I don't surgically dissect music like some of you do, but I will say that overall I am pleasantly surprised that I like this record. I do also think that the first half is better, at least what I can tell streaming it. I'm still holding off on buying it until the U.S. variants appear and even then might have to think about it at the inevitable high price point. It may just be a "buy the download and be done with it" type of release. TheGhostOfRandySavage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 After a couple more listens I'm enjoying the album more than I initially did. However my biggest issues are with "After the Smoke Clears" & "One Sky Above Us". I feel like those two songs are huge momentum killers. The trio of songs preceesing both of those are really good & then it turns into a real snoozer. Maybe that'll change over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumbo72203 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Kingston, NY is the most random of all places for these guys to play. The post-rock scene in upstate NY is more or less non-existent; I mean, it's near Woodstock, but that's like... a hippie place. Either way, it's cool for me because that's like 40 minutes from my house. Also, PRAY FOR SOUND is at the Boston gig! I'll probably do Kingston -> Boston -> NYC. But I want to know if the release shows will be them doing the whole album, because there's a ton of songs on this album I want to hear that they probably will only play that one time, like "After The Smoke Clears", "One Sky Above Us", "The Giving Tree", etc. Actually, I just want to see the whole thing start to finish because these songs all rule. I wonder which track will be the live standout, though. "Earth Crawler" is the easy first answer for me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjkenney Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 oh hell yes AZ date! Never thought I'd see the day they played here. ITTCT and GIAA playing here within a couple days of each other in September, can't wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drds89 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Will be a 3 hr road trip (each way) for us since skipping RVA, but that is normal. My friend in DK says vinyl sounds great. He gave me #20/200 it appears. When pg.lost gets to him- I think he said they are shipping soon, I've got some great stuff heading this way!

Other than that I don't see myself buying one unless I magically find one for around $20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got word that The Album Leaf will be in town Sep 7 (venue TBD) - they can be post-rocky at times. Great show either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They posted something on Facebook somewhat recently that basically amounted to a confirmation that no colored vinyl will be done in the US for this album. I'll ask them Thursday when I see them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larsensteiner Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I have the black/white marble out of 200, which I intend to let go for cost. Would come out to 45 USD ppd to the US. If anyone is interested, hit me up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
