The only song I'm having a little bit of a tough time with on my initial listens is Stay With Me. Just doesn't feel like Thrice to me. Wake Up is also a little tough but I think I like it. Feels like a lot of songs are getting stuck in this "mid-tempo" and streamlined songwriting approach that used to be more rare for them. I don't know. I really like it but I'm not sure I love it. 

Do people not like Juggernaut?  I thought it was great. I like P2 as well. Didn't realize people didn't like Juggernaut so much.... 

Wow...that was really good.  Interesting choice for a first single, but still awesome.  You can just hear the sincerity and passion in his voice.  You can tell it's very real and personal to them.  Great stuff...only ups the anticipation level!

Went with All in Merch and did the green swirl mix as it says it's more limited and it's cheaper than the same exact item on Merchnow. 
 
Total came to $19.11 including media mail shipping. Now that's awesome!
 
stoked for this!

I think that's why fans don't mind, because people know the religious Christian component to his lyrics are there. But I'd contend that they aren't "preachy" at all. There's a difference between believing something and believing in something and forcing it down other people's throats. His religious views have always been there, but he never words things in a way where to make anyone think they're dumb or wrong to think otherwise. That is why I think people don't mind his lyrics. Just my two cents.

I think people's opinions will shift a little as time goes on. The score is much less immediate and much more subtle than his other scores. That being said as I spend more time with it, I love almost all of it. Is it as good as the other Williams scores? Way too early to say in my opinion. Attack of the clones isn't that amazing. I feel like everyone thinks Duel of the Fates is the whole music that is played throughout all the prequels the way everyone talks about them. Rey's theme, the resistance theme, Kylo's theme (which seems pretty obvious to me to be more developed as the saga continues), and even Snoke, after you listen a couple of times starts to become really cool.

I would love Oh Sleeper as well. Any of them and I'm on it without hesitation.

Almost every release SS has been doing recently has failed to include an insert and it doesn't seem like the band is necessarily made aware until it's in the process already if happening. As Cities Burn guys didn't know till after that CNS was being released either. Personally, that doesn't bother me as much as not including some kind of insert. Vinyl should be the ultimate for artwork and information about an bands release bc there is more space to do it. To not include anything but the record itself is lazy in my opinion.

Yeah. Whole new album is great!

Sweet!

I understand what everyone is saying. I just look at it as I'm giving the band money and they're giving me something in return as a bonus. It's not like shop radio cast charging me $30 for a repress that someone already made. We're literally giving a band a sum of money to go and make the album that won't exist without the start up capital. I like the band and would give them a sum of money to see a new album even if I got nothing in return because I love the band and everything they've put out and would rather see something new from them then nothing at all. I don't know. I get it though. $50 is a tough pill to swallow especially if you only nominally like the band. I don't know. This is the 4th or 5th one of these projects I've supported. Like the RX Bandits for example, I could've gotten the vinyl for $20+ after the album was made, but I paid the $40 for the pledge thingy to know I was a part of actually a part of the album even bring made in the first place. I'm just rambling. It's a lot of money. I get it. They're already over $25k so they're fans obviously don't mind paying for the stuff.

Stoked!
Circa Survive - yellow/black splatter (finally!)
After the burial
Both variants of Born of Osiris (didn't know a red variant existed!)
Don't forget to use the "killer10" promo code too. Worked for me it looks like.

Welp. I guess I'm an idiot bc I love this band and will happily pay considerably more than market value for a new album by these guys. Definitely getting the super fan package for $100. Stoked.

I think the post-Colors era is much better than the pre-Colors era.  I've really enjoyed everything they've released since Colors.  I also feel like they just keep getting better at honing their sound on each album.  One of the main things I really enjoy is the over-arching completeness of the album by making the songs not just songs, but different parts that flow into other parts.  I think they are really great at doing this.  Just my two cents.

Heat Fetish, Heat Fetish, Heat Fetish...   C'mon Rise Records, get it done already....

This is great. Hopefully the one by me gets some worthwhile stuff. I have no problem with Wal Mart. Nothing wrong with working there agua. They pay people real money just like everywhere else and have some good and also some terrible business practices, just like other businesses all across the country. Almost every company Ive worked for or have had someone I know work at has things about it that suck. Wal-Mart just gets the most attention.

Are these real pressings that are upcoming??!?!  I hadn't heard anything about them...

discogs seems to think the Vheissu is real with someone even claiming to have one...

So, this is legit.  Here's the link to the three separate versions:  Clear (300), Translucent Yellow (300) and White (1000)

El Dorado is the best song on there in my opinion.  I may be in the minority, but I actually prefer The Big Dirty and New Junk sound for them over the more spastic, fast, punk stuff.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this album and I think it fits great into their discography.  It seems like for a while they would have more stuff like TBD songs with some chaos mixed in and on this album they flipped the script and did chaos with some TBD mixed in.  Personally, I'm just more of a fan of their groovy hardcore heavy stuff over the spastic chaos stuff.  Still excited to get my green record, and also excited to hear the bonus songs for sure especially since Andy mentioned in the pudcast that one of the bonus songs was his favorite song off the new album.
