    shawnayala90 got a reaction from David The Gnome in PO: Weatherbox - Flies In All Directions (Triple Crown/Favorite Gentlemen)   
    i was feeling that one for a bit, but after geeking out to some live sets from last year and cruising the record, I think my favorites are Radio Hive, Dark All Night for Us, and Last White Lighter.
    At this point, I am still mainly focused on the instrumentals, while I have sat down with the lyrics... the appeal of weatherbox has always been the insane arrangements and guitar and drum parts.  i remember first hearing Broken Glowsticks in 2012 (i'm a box noob) and being so blown away by how that song is put together.  i feel like this album is more than just an extension of that ep, its like an evolution (think a pokemon that evolves with a stone) and those three songs just put my brain in a space nothing else can. its like neuro-goosebumps or something.

    Dude how did it go?!
    To me this seems like a very thoughtful, wonderful gift. La Dispute is one of those bands that can very much bring two people close. The band espouses so much understanding and beautiful moments in the lyrics and music, its only natural that translates to the listeners and their lives.
    Anyway, once again this is an awesome gift and something I feel is a really special thing about this hobby. I hope the sellers all know their stuff went to a very caring cause.

    i know i am insanely late to this, but this record is SO GOOD. i randomly watched the light n noise/ topshelf sxsw 2013 recap and was absolutely capivated by the pswingset song, their vibe reminded me of bands from here in Indiana.  After spinning my copy of the IIOI/Pswingset, i am on my third listen of this record!  seriously thinking about picking one up

    this, the dynamics of the drums are so much more clear, also a more discernible bass tone, not to mention all the little things the producer talked about really shining through.  i will say it doesn't "bump" as much but thats likely because this better master eliminates the compression wall aspect.
     
    all in all i'd say its a slightly softer, yet way more intricate mix. it really clears things up, you'll find many notes that hit that sweet spot hit it smoother and better now, and the atmospheric reverb /bassy room feel has been scaled down to put all the many melodies and "secrets"of this album right in your ears.

    Is there anywhere I could get this? Or is anyone willing to sell theirs? Just got my splatter copy of Flies in All Directions in and would love to get this.

    just had the insane pleasure of meeting and playing with secret grief last night. i snagged their last copy of this on black for $5 as the covers a bit worn.  some of the kindest and welcoming dudes, not to mention that their songs on this split are A+. 
     
    they are on tour right now with Small Parks, you'd be an idiot not to go.  Dates here!!!

    id say maybe the store's site? like setting up the page and getting all the mock up images ready for the different variants and maybe a bundle? whatever it is, i'm sure the wait will be worth it.  upon hearing the album, i can definitely tell they aren't trying to half ass anything with this release.

    When I listen to a record I pay attention and enjoy the music. When I listen to music on my computer, it becomes background noise.
