I believe it said a friend stole it so I think I'm good.

I’d strongly suggest avoiding that website.

yo. I know you showed interest in that band Lynx. and for whatever reason they are kind of hard to come by. but i did find this to make it easier for you/anyone else interested. https://lynx4.bandcamp.com/releases

Can I? Yes. Will I? Nope.

The big takeaway for me here: do SRC employees actually refer to themselves as “Awesome Support Team Member” in their e-mail signatures?

it's a comment on the upcoming release, though. xfactor is saying they found the released single(s) aesthetically lacking. tbh pretty common to see takes on the music for PO on these boards, maybe you should browse around here more before patronizing someone who's been a member exponentially longer. at any rate, xfactor is keeping things more on topic than either your attempt to make this a "defend a band against any criticism" thread or Kyte's to make it a "really shocking someone with Hungary as their location isn't a native English speaker" thread.

I was unaware that English wasn’t your native language. My apologies. But yeah, comin’ in year just to talk shit on a band you don’t even like...I mean seriously what’s the point?

The $499 shipping rate is pretty cool.

I definitely came here to see Lynx brought up. One of my best friends' bands opened for Lynx in late 1999 at a tiny place in Kalamazoo, MI (Harvey's on the Mall, if anyone knows the area), and there were about three people at the show in addition to the opening bands. He struck up a conversation with the drummer about Slint, bought their 3 song EP, and discussed that they (Lynx) finally found the studio they were going to record their album at (which was Soma, owned by John McEntire of Tortoise/Bastro/The Sea & Cake/etc) and that Bob Weston was going to record it. I think the album is so hard to come by because it came out on a really small arm of the old Southern group of labels, Box Factory. I don't think Box Factory Records put out more than 10 releases overall, leaving this album to get lost in the mix. Both the album and the EP (which has different recordings of two songs that are also on the album, Prynx [then called Nighthush] and Mrs Lynx, and one exclusive to the EP) are some of my most listened to CDs of the last 20 years, easily.

I Remember when they pressed the box set they said it would never be pressed again...

Wasn't the original 2 single LPs and 2 CDs? So thats the 4 discs I'm taking it to be

To keep this thread alive and well, I would suggest that anyone makes sure to post their thoughts or impressions on artists they've checked out through the recommendations provided here. I wasn't able to listen to anything today – most of my "new listening" is done during weekdays – but there are a few I've already queued up in Spotify, in preparation for Monday. Taper your expectations, haha. Don't want to sully your first listen by any means, but it seems like most of us MSW fans at VC were pretty underwhelmed with that album. I was enamored with everything prior, and will contest that they wrote some of the best piano-fueled post-rock for that era, hands down. FY was just so forgettable for me, and I wanted to love it. It's pretty. It's fine. It does not offend the senses. It just complete lacks the magic and charm that their prior discography did. For this guy, anyway. It was good while it lasted. I think your complaint about Antidotes' vocals are valid. They're not great. Sort of whiny or yelpy at times, maybe? Like a lot of other bands I enjoy, I definitely treat them as more of an additional instrument than anything else, and I will admit that I haven't given the lyrics all to much thought over the years. From a songwriting standpoint, and guitars / rhythm especially, Antidotes just feels so much more punchy and memorable than anything else they've done... and I guess that's what takes the cake for me. I still listen to any new Foals record and revisit the ones I've found myself "eh" on. And they're certainly not bad, they're just a far cry from the sound I listen to Antidotes for. They feel a lot less instrumentally focused and more pop structured, maybe? That's the best description I can come up with off the top of my head.

No way I could take any reply from them seriously.

this comment has zero value

Dope. How was their set?

Mine was from BM, and I don't recall ever getting shipping confirmation. Just showed up today.

Had to search the archives but saw You Slut! with Maybeshewill a few years ago and now I’m thinking of another band from that era - dananananaykroyd not that they’re math rock but you just jogged my memory. Anyone mentioned 65dos yet (are they math rock?)? I’m away to listen to Retreat! Retreat!

Just picked up the tour variant /100 at Groezrock

There are a couple color variants at a little cheaper price from listenable records here. You should check them out of you are into them, dude. https://www.shop-listenable.net/en/vynil-/8907-xentrix-bury-the-pain-limited-edition-transparent-red-vinyl-of-500-copies-worldwide-pre-order.html https://www.shop-listenable.net/en/vynil-/8908-xentrix-bury-the-pain-limited-edition-orange-vinyl-of-200-copies-worldwide-pre-order.html?search_query=Xentrix&results=4

This is good

Weezer Dusty Gems sounds good for a compilation. No issues at all. We need DGC Rarities pressed next RSD

Do you speak any languages other than your mother tongue?

^ At first look, it's great. I wonder how long it will take for WWE to fuck it up.

I was gonna pop in here to say I really enjoyed seeing them Saturday, but...

Still can’t believe they left Coming Around off the b-sides LP

Everyone gushing about SRC pressing quality clearly have not visited the Lydia / Illuminate thread.

Popularity does not equal quality.
