ExtraFox Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Music On Vinyl snuck this one out quietly. I only found out about it (and bought it) today. No coloured variant, but it doesn't seem to be that widely available (other than a few on Discogs and Amazon): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Case-Didnt-Feel-Showing-vinyl/dp/B01NBY1HNF/ref=tmm_vnl_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1490467962&sr=8-1-fkmr0 https://www.amazon.de/Case-Didnt-Feel-Showing-Vinyl/dp/B01NBY1HNF/ref=sr_1_1_twi_lp__3?ie=UTF8&qid=1490468081&sr=8-1&keywords=in+case+you+didn't+feel+like+showing+up webdoggy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webdoggy Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 How does it sound? Saw it was coming out a while back from their email, but since there is no limited variant, I didn't feel the need to rush into it without a sale or decent price.

Monastic_mike Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I want this. I get the MOV newsletter so I knew it was coming. A fun release and a great time had by those that were there/saw them on that tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't often go for live albums, but there are some that stuck with me because they were either my intro to the band or just have amazing variations of songs I love. The ladder applies to this one. "So What" itself is worth the price of admission. Wish I'd been able to see them on this tour. Used to have the VHS, and wish the CD/vinyl had the full set. But I'll be getting this soon enough.

Psalm 69 The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste Land of Rape and Honey Houses of the Mole I would go in that order, however any order for these is great.

fish Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 3 hours ago, museummouth said: Been meaning to get into this band. Would this be a good starting place? Depends on your tastes. If you disregard Al's first album "With Sympathy" as a straight synth-pop album that the label supposedly controlled then "Twitch" and "Land of Rape and Honey" are both excellent but way more Electronic/Industrial sounding. Their roots are from Wax Trax! Records in Chicago and they really shaped the whole label and scene. They got more into guitars after Paul Barker joined the band around "Mind" and then went all out with it at Psalm 69. Both of which are really great albums. I also really love Filth Pig which came out after it but it was not as well received and it is a bit slower and more doomy than their previous albums. So if you prefer more "synths" go with Twitch and LORAH, but if you are more into guitars go with Mind or their most popular album Psalm 69 (the Jesus Built my Hotrod single sold over a million copies). All of those albums have great moments. But I would definitely start with any of these as it was their strongest output. I used to run their official website back in the day and really love the band and have seen them countless times. Glad this album is finally easier to get. Check out these songs on youtube for an idea of how they progressed: We Believe, Land of Rape and Honey, So What, Thieves, N.W.O, Just One Fix, Lava. And then listen to "Everyday is Halloween" just for fun. CurtMyers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museummouth Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) The only song I know is Stigmata, which rips. Thanks for all the insight! Edited March 28, 2017 by museummouth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As good as the studio version of Stigmata is, the one on here is better. I would say that the versions of So What, Thieves, Burning Inside and Stigmata are better than the studio versions. jeromium 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numanoid Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 With Sympathy is hands down the best American synth pop album. Monastic_mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
