Hard to PO with no tracklist, but I do love this version of Coffee.

Eh, give it another year.

Music video was kinda lame, but the single is really great. Will be picking this up for sure. Seems from the press release and single like this is going to be on the opposite end of the spectrum from the sonic darkness of the S/T album and the distorted loudness of their most recent LP+EP. Something closer to the brighter aspects of Antics and Admire with softer, more present vocals. I can really get into that. Looking forward to hearing more.

Grabbed a black set of course. Will definitely try to catch them on the road, I've seen them a few times and they're always great. I was talking to a friend the other day about the concept of "favorite band" and realized that these guys have probably put out the most consistently excellent work over the past 21 years. Where a lot of other bands put out great stuff and then nosedive, these guys have managed to keep it up and keep fresh. Will definitely miss them.

I've been assuming it's just farewell tour announcement, but I would be super down for some sort of live or reimagined album. Been loving the alternate versions of their riffs that they've been laying down on these teasers, so anything in that vein would be rad.

New tune sounds big, I like it. These guys were almost completely missable for nearly a decade, but I think Delta Kream was a good experience for them and you can feel the influence on this track. Hope this is a solid record.

Budget Courtney LaPlante does not do this song any favors.

Same for my copy of Simple Math.

So stoked to have grabbed a copy of the B,S deluxe. Can't wait to hear it, all the other deluxe editions have sounded incredible, especially on black.

Best song, worst song? I'm thinking Pneumonia or Thorn for best, Hallelujah for worst?

Only a few full listens in, but I think it's safe to say that the worst songs on this are better than the worst songs on Erase Me, but the best songs on this are worse than the best songs on Erase Me? Also add me to the constant, infantile swearing is grating crowd. In fact, I think all of the lyrics on this one are pretty much garbage. There's an unspoken rule in cinema that if you can't write good, creative dialogue, you just fill it with profanity to flavor it up, and I think that's exactly what happened here. Too lazy to rewrite your lines to fit the right cadence? Just throw "fucking" in there like a soundcloud rapper.

Vinylmnky order marked as shipped. I would be shocked if it actually showed up by Friday, which is ironic considering the whole delay to release everything at once, but I'll survive. Still hoping this album grows on me, but most of the singles have had a distinct ~edgelord~ flavor to them that doesn't have me stoked.

According to Unoriginal, "200 left… we can confirm there are currently no plans to bring in another pressing after the green sells out… seriously." Whaaat is Solid State smoking??

Had a minor heart attack when I realized I got distracted and was 12 minutes late. Super relieved to pull a yellow with no problem.
