dan_smee Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Severed is a phenomenal song - I love when bands can pull out surprises like that 8 albums into a career. The 80s synth, fun guitar lines - the whole thing is just really solid. Super excited for this album.

The 80s synth, fun guitar lines - the whole thing is just really solid. Super excited for this album. Exactly my feeling too. Weird how this song and the new Preoccupations landed on the same day, because both have prominent 80s synths sounds, and I got into this song way more than Preoccupations, which is not the Joy Division pastiche everyone says it is. It's actually a Blank Dogs pastiche which is to say, pastiche of a pastiche. Edited January 21, 2018 by armadillo01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 To this day, Hazards is still the only Decemberists album I've heard in full. It's been a long, long while since I've played... but seeing this thread inspired me to throw it on. Still holds up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneThreeOneTwo Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I saw them in spring of '04 touring their first lp. They were great even then. They encored with "Red Right Ankle" which is still my fave song of theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oilerguy Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Can't wait to see what this 'Exploded Edition' is all about! Hope it's got a cool splatter vinyl to go with that name. texan4life 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickster Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 They changed the total for the orange LP from 1500 to 2000 copies a few weeks ago They never added it in the store until last week. Around 700 available now I am thinking the orange will be the easiest to get compared to the purple or blue. Maybe the indies is blue-ish/purple and the stores are just advertising the same variant? On the other hand it clearly says B&N exclusive. Damn! I cannot decide which one I want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickster Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 What a fantastic set! Free shipping within USA. Looks like the 12" orange vinyl comes signed. I suppose they ll sign all 2000 copies since there just a change on the picture of the listing. Not a new item addition. thesewoodenideas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
