I too am listening to the debut album right now and it's great! quiet noise floor, flat as a pancake, and it's on point as far as the sound quality. I don't have the S/T boot but i do have the Toxicity boot, so i can't speak to how much better it is than the boot, but i have to imagine it's better for sure. Very happy so far, nice insert too.

Mine are out for delivery right now and assuming they show up between now and my lunch at 1:30 ET, i'm going to spin one on my lunch and will report back with sq feedback.

Toys, True Ugly, It Walks Among Us, The Dark Sentencer and The Gutter are definitely my favorite tracks. I LOVE the harmony in It Walks Among Us. There still isn't a single song I want to skip though. If there's a least favorite song, it's actually the last one Lucky Stars.

It's about fucking time.... will be getting this for sure, easily my favorite Clutch album.

Toys is my favorite of the tracks that wasn't released prior to the album release. Nasty guitar riff, love it. Honestly, there isn't any song that I don't like though. Very catchy melodies throughout that have a pretty unique sound.

As a long time fan, this album is a return to form for me. As far as I'm concerned, The Color Before The Sun, doesn't exist. THAT album, imo, was an experiment that didn't work. This album is great, gets better and better with each listen.

Looks like it gets released digitally on October 3rd. You could wait until then and listen to it to decide if you want to get the vinyl. I doubt the vinyl will be sold out by then

vinyl is up for pre-order on qrates. https://qrates.com/projects/16947-chillhop-essentials-fall-2018

looks like Fall 2018 is up for digital pre-order on amazon. Nothing yet for vinyl on qrates but i'm sure that'll be coming very soon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H7VPZWW/

Great news!

it's been awhile since I listened to it but what I recall is that it's a pretty decent pressing. Never listen to an OG so I couldn't compare it

I bought the Filter Short Bus on the translucent green from MOV as soon as it came out a couple years ago. Awesome album from start to finish.

yeah... pre-ordered all 5 from bullmoose with only about 10 minutes of hesitation and inner arguments with the part of me that's responsible. $100 shipped for all 5 is excellent.

So i finally received this today from Bullmoose and wow... what a fantastic pressing! WAY better than my cd copy. heard guitar parts i had never heard before. very detailed, have to believe these were cut from original analog tapes. anyone else notice how incredible this pressing is??
