I thought this repeatedly throughout my first listen. I have been following this band closely since 1998, I know all their work backwards and forwards, and was still blown away. Most of this album is on a completely different level than much of what I have been listening to this year. I haven't been so impressed during the first couple days of an Appleseed Cast album since LLO.
From an artwork and vinyl perspective, I uploaded my photos to Discogs today: https://www.discogs.com/The-Appleseed-Cast-The-Fleeting-Light-of-Impermanence/release/13819230
The translucent teal w/ wisps is beautiful. Not a fan of the arigato-style packaging; seems cheap.
I ordered the GITD blue from Double Double Whammy and tracking says it will arrive Wednesday. I’ll keep you posted when it arrives what color it actually is.
