Listened through twice, yeah it's awesome. I think they could've afforded to add another one or two sludgier or softer tracks because the pace does feel very one-dimensional, but it's like you said: it's just got so much else going for it that that's not a huge gripe. Early on my two favorites are "Queen of Hades" and "King of Ephyra". I went the longest time without picking up Fragments, and I don't think I'll be able to get my hands on a physical copy of this anytime soon, but I definitely anticipate that I'll pick it up somewhere down the line.

Dude thank you so much for bumping. Somehow I forgot that this released today so now I gotta crank this tonight...

Is it TRC - Nation? First thing I thought of, but mostly because of the artwork. Never actually listened so I can't comment on the sound but I think it was hardcore-leaning.

I just realized it's already been five years since Sines. Wow.

Anyone know if the indie exclusive is online for pre-order anywhere?

In other news, The Shaking Sensations quietly dropped another solid new track a few weeks ago. Probably my most anticipated instrumental release late in the year. Proof that meat-and-potatoes post-rock can still be done well. Also, for any post-metal fans in here the new Cranial album seems like it’s gonna be huge. First track is so dense, so riff-heavy. I love it. http://thesludgelord.bandcamp.com/album/alternate-endings

It sounds exactly like A Film in Color and Tunnel Blanket. I like it, but I don’t love it. It sounds nothing like Godspeed, but that’s not really a bad thing.

Friendly bump because I’ll be hitting the Richmond show tomorrow. If anyone wants anything (this or otherwise - I know at least Sanction has a tour exclusive) I’d be happy to help out.

I respect this pick, but I'm almost positive it was released in 2009

Bump

I’m with you. I thought it was a solid track - pretty much exactly what I was looking for from them.

Anybody else have a chance to listen to this? Just finished my first run through and I was pleasantly surprised. 40 oz. is killer. They may have overdid it a little with the slow numbers but it's nowhere near as bad as A Place of Our Own was.

Title says it. Looking to pick up a playing copy of this if anyone has one they'd be willing to unload. Here's my collection in case anyone wants to trade:

Not gonna make any superlative claims but these are probably my tops of the decade (no order): Yndi Halda - Under Summer Pianos Become the Teeth - The Lack Long After Apart - Gray Light La Dispute - Wildlife Sophie Hutchings - Becalmed Sebastian Plano - Impetus From Indian Lakes - Able Bodies Moving Mountains - S/T

I have not actually. Where should I start?
