me too. Nice packaging job and a sweet release all around. About to spin this now.

 

edit: just finished my first listen. I recommend you take the lyrics along right from the start, they are my favorite thing about the record so far. And damn, "New Halloween" is going to make folks cry, there's no doubt about that.

That looks awesome, and it looks like it's a color in color as opposed to a haze variant which is great. Can't wait to listen to this album.

I downloaded the leak but haven't been able to emotionally bring myself to listen the whole album yet. Maybe when I'm physically holding the record and reading the lyrics I'll be ready. I've been looking forward to this since it was announced, and with each song they've release, they've been hitting me harder and harder. My body is ready, but my heart isn't.

Just got done hearing it the first time, and I was surprised by it. Their last two (haven't heard the first) didn't do much for me, but I definitely enjoyed this one. They're mixing it up a bit so it sounds less samey throughout, which was my main complaint with the others. As for the subject matter, it really is a gut punch at times. Yes, some of the lines are corny or predictable, but the hard-hitting ones strike far more often. The ending...man...

 

Maybe it can be attributed to the primacy & recency effects, but the first and last songs are definitely my favorites, more so the first one.

This album, man, It paints a picture I am all too familiar with. I watched my grandmother go from a healthy woman to almost nothing, when I was 13. She passed away just a week after my 14th birthday, and I miss her so damn much. Benediction and 8 Seconds broke me this morning on the way to work. Incredible album, start to finish.
