I loved all three Jack's Mannequin albums and the first 2 are in my top 5 most important albums. Yet somehow AM managed to take out all the minute punk facets that interested me and made it unique. Now it's just repetitive and catchy pop music. Will give it another listen, though. Totally agree. I might get flamed for saying this but I sure hope this album has more than 2-3 really solid songs on it. I really like Andrew but I'm tired of cherry-picking from his albums. throughbeingcruel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been doing that since Everything In Transit. Everything since just hasn't had as much heart IMO. I did like the first single from the first Wilderness record a fuck ton though. Catchiest thing I've ever heard. mmhmm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdussack Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Just a heads up for anyone who's trying to get the red vinyl - Andrew just wrote to me on Instagram that it's exclusive to his web store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandw12786 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Got this in the mail a few days early! I like the album, I think it's stronger than the first solo outing overall. Not all that impressed with the pressing, though. I think it's pretty off center so there's a lot of wow and flutter at the end, the last song is a quieter one and sounds like garbage. ejc625 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With his first solo album, he didn't have his store's variant available online until after his tour was over. That's when he put up what was left after pre-orders and tour merch sales. So you may be waiting a bit. nardes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nardes Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 My "Big Bundle" is still "unfulfilled" Delayed because I wanted those (COMPLETELY unnecessary) damn nesting dolls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiimbored Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Listening to my red copy right now; curious what people think of this pressing. Doesn't sound spectacular to me. The pressing is pretty quiet and just doesn't jump out at me. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBuckeye30 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Ordered from Amazon thinking the entire pressing was on red vinyl... and it was black But from what it seems, the red pressing doesn't sound all that great, maybe the black will be better.

The edges were all jagged and paper was stuck everywhere, sound didn't really jump out at me, and the last track was really pitchy, seemed like it was an off-center pressing (my cart was moving noticeably side-to-side while playing this, I always have a little side-to-side movement, but this was a lot). I'm really disappointed in it because everything Andrew has pressed in the last few years has just sounded phenomenal (Something Corporate's "North" pressing that he released a couple years ago is still easily the best sounding record I own). Feels like he went cheap on this one, and it definitely shows.

Let us know how it sounds after you have a chance to spin it. I'm curious if it sounds any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard it sounds great which is shocking for most ETR releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffbloom Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I can't get into this album at all. Every since he started The Wilderness, I've been disappointed. Bummed because I love Andrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bummed because I love Andrew. I feel the same way. There's something missing from his Wilderness albums/songs that I can't put a finger on.

texan4life Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 My red copy sounds just fine; I'm absolutely loving this album. He's going more poppy every release I feel, but it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
