Received mine on Saturday. Yeah this was expensive but that triple gatefold is so clean, it was worth it. Looking forward to cranking this one loud later today. Thanks again, Derek. You've got some positive feedback coming your way.

Pretty sure Don mentioned this one to me a loooong time ago. I could have him mistaken for someone else, but this cover art looks very familiar. Both the new Pray for Sound and Kokomo albums are first-class. I love the energy in Waves, especially the last two songs.

Nowhere else to post this, but I had one of the best music listening days of my life today. I have two big papers to crank out this week so I put on the following, in order, over a ten-hour period: La Dispute - Rooms of the House Touche Amore - PTSBBAM My Epic - Behold My Epic - Yet Hrvrd - From the Bird's Cage Copeland - Ixora Lydia - Paint it Golden Foxing - the Albatross mewithoutYou - Catch for Us the Foxes mewithoutYou - Brother, Sister As Cities Burn - Come Now Sleep Can I get some recs? Looking for more stuff in the vein of Lydia, Hrvrd, and My Epic. Honestly my goal was/is to check off a bunch of the indie rock classics so I'll take anything in that vein. Haven't listened to Science Fiction yet so I've got that, TREOS, and Manchester Orchestra queued up for tomorrow.

Great news, always in the mood for new Loma.

Bump! Back home for a week, let's cut some deals

Love this pick, what a sleeper album

New album by the Shaking Sensations is very good, as expected. Anyone else give it a listen yet?

That shipping cost is brutal. Too late now, I suppose. I’m sure I won’t mind as much when I have it in-hand but I cringed inwardly as I was adding up the totals.

What the heck. I’m in for a /100.

I don’t know how the above two dropouts are gonna affect pricing, but do you think the difference in cost will be substantial vs. just ordering thru A1KA? If it’s the same price, more or less, I’ll go through you so I don’t have to worry about missing it.

Some solid, dreamy post-metal that got released this week: https://e-l-r.bandcamp.com/

This is gonna be good. I think I'm in the minority but I actually liked Monochrome Noise Love a lot. Excited to see where they go with this.

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.
