Dealer is awesome - but this record is on another level. It’s nothing like Albatross. It’s nothing like Dealer. It’s not an emo record. It’s transcendent - it touches on so many unique and crazy as fuck ideas throughout its 12 track that can’t categorize this record. I haven’t reacted this viscerally and emotionally to a record since the first time I heard sunbather so jumped aboard the Drew Beringer hype train we aren't stopping anytime soon.

New song is great, think I'll hold out for the retail though. Have a pretty good feeling this will be AOTY.

Oh hey, it’s been like 2 years but the deluxe version of PS IS happening. Got to see the packaging yesterday and it looks super rad, so despite the label dragging ass hard on getting these made I’m stoked it’s finally happening. Trying to have proper info out within the next month or two. 

I've had mailers with like 10 records in them ship media mail. Merch homie is clearly bullshitting.

am i the only one who's hankering for a Meridional repress

Somewhere in the 99% range. And yet, I ordered a red.

NEED. MORE. VOCODER. HARMONIES.

Here to say the packaging for this record looks amazing. 

I dig how the second one came out. PM me if you're serious about this and I'll order a second press copy and we can make arrangements for you to get my first press.

No repress that I know of, must be leftover red/white. Deluxe version of PS I mentioned at some point in here is in production right now. As for Redeemer, I mean, we are doing a Redeemer tour, sooooo...

Got my red copy yesterday, packaging is super cool. Only listened to side A because I was semi-busy and didn't want to listen to new songs while distracted, but Floodplains sounded awesome. Definitely pick this up if you haven't already.

I just checked the presale schedule and it says “due to delays in manufacturing the vinyl will be shipping separately from orders around 10/27”

My preorder finally came in today, I ordered it so long ago I was genuinely confused when I saw a record shaped package on my porch haha. Anyway this record is fuckin gorgeous

judging from their IG stories (showing that they're packing the orders), it will most likely ship soon

While I was waiting for Sound of Vinyl to get back to me on my deffective copy (4 days later), I decided to give it another try.  I noticed that it actually wasn't the scratch making the popping but there was a piece of black debris on it.  I decided to try and scratch it off since I figured my copy was defective anyway.  I got it off, gave the record another cleaning and now it plays fine.  Good thing because SOV finally got back to me today and I'd have to send it back first (at my expense).  

September.

Just got my copy in. Comparing it to the original press for fun. Artwork/layout are almost completely identical, minus the legalese and logos. The jacket and sleeves on the original press are noticeably higher contrast/saturation than the new pressing, curious if that was intentional or just a printing difference. The sleeves on the OP also had one top shorter than the other for record removal, whereas the new sleeves have even tops. When it comes to the records themselves, the new 180g pressing is obviously thicker. Labels do not suffer the contrast discrepancy.
 
As far as the sound, I've only had a chance to listen to the first disc, but wow. This is how this record was meant to sound. The range is there, the detail is there, it's quiet, the atrocious distortion is all but gone. I say "all but gone" because to my ears the latter half of The Scale did not sound up to par with the beginning of Pioneer, but it's still totally listenable. The rest of the experience so far has been stellar. The bass on Pioneer is thunderous. Heinrich Maneuver comes in sounding punchy as hell. Guitars sound accurate and drums tend to leap out at you. Playing this record for someone will get you laid.
