    The Mondo Records Thread - You think limited? Will sell fast?

    In for a Rogue One!  Stoked.

     

    While I agree that Rogue One is top tier...I can think of at least one other Disney Star Wars movie that is objectively much worse than Solo....once you get past Harrison Ford not playing the character, I really don't have much problem Solo.  And the soundtrack to it is fantastic.  I just wish we would've gotten the expanded version for Solo's release as we're getting for this considering that the expanded edition was released digitally like this.  Oh well.

    Every Time I Die - Album 9

    holy smokes....I think @Justinadamk nailed it.  they had long standing problems (some reasonable, others not...like your bro being married to someone who believes in silly things is not a good reason to hate your brother) that the manager/MGMT was able to keep from sinking the ship.  Once the manager left, it clearly unraveled everything from both sides' posts, that seems to be agreed upon.  What happened next is the classic he said/she said stuff that is so sad to watch play out from the outside.  I hope time changes things, if for no other reason than for brothers to come back together and be brothers.  I know my brother and I have some fairly big philosophical differences, but it can't get in the way of caring for each other.  You can't say "love and peace" and then be unloving to others close to you and expect people on the outside to not be suspicious.  It just sucks that this is all so public...

    Just curious, what are you hoping for? For instance, if you had to pick an album in their discography that this one was the natural of, which one would you pick?

    Me personally, I’m not a fan of Dustin’s solo work because I’m not a fan of folk and indie music really at all.  So, I wish that he’d have kept that style of singing in his solo stuff, but once his solo stuff got really going, he incorporated it into his Thrice stuff.  And it just fells like they always now get stuck in mid tempo songs (probably where some hear the Dad rock).

     

    As far as Alchemy and Beggars sounding so aligned, that’s actually most likely because the did both albums themselves.  Teppei did all of it, so they all have a very similar production quality, namely recorded in their home studio before they moved to Washington or whatever. 
     

    I'm not mad they have gone a different direction than I wanted.  And obviously I’m a big fan of them, cuz I’m still here checking out their music, but like you said, it could be that it’s not for me anymore.  Which is a bummer.  Glad for everyone who loves it.
