My Upvote is A Downvote 26 Report post Posted April 6 yeah.... this album is great. had to relisten immediately after the first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluethumb 29 Report post Posted April 6 I agree with others that the album builds really well, it definitely lived up to my expectations. Even though I don't love every track (yet), I cant get enough of that soulful, wandering voice - the last track is my favorite of the album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also wouldn't skimp on their last 2 albums, at least. (I still haven't fully managed to click with their 2006 debut.) 2015's Painted Shut and 2012's Get Disowned are fantastic, though maybe not as immediately gratifying as Bark. Both are super easy to find for cheap, too. 1 1 corey. and FiggyPud reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More than likely will grab that tomorrow as well if my shop also has that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For me the first two were the weakest at first and the record felt like it locked in by track 3 for that better, better, best progression the tracks seem to take. But now the opener is a favorite haha it's hard even deciding what's not as great as the rest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Advertised as "indie exclusive orange" on the sticker and that's indeed what it was. Just got finished listening to this for the first time by the way.

corey. 357 Report post Posted April 14 So apparently there is another /500 variant for Vinyl Me Please on half green/half pink. I was able to secure a copy after market for a fair price that must've been given to a subscriber since it's not on the website yet. However, on the VMP website there's a banner AD that says "Available 4/17 - click here to buy" but when you click it, it just takes you to their store, that doesn't have the product listed. So... not sure what this variant is or was. Anyway, here's a picture below. I think it looks pretty cool with the artwork/label the more I look at it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bought it off someone who has it in hand Edit: He definitely had it in hand and already shipped it, but it was because he won it in a give-away from VMP and got it early. So I assume it will be available to the public still. Edited April 15 by corey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
