Got Deadwing yesterday, and listening to it now. It sounds amazing other than some popping, I think i need to give it a good cleaning. These recent remasters have been great though. Can anyone tell me about the quality of The Incident pressings? It's one of the few I want, but haven't bought yet. Has there been talk of a remaster of that at all? I know the original is still easy to find, but a remaster might be nice.

God damn it, but I can't say that I didn't feel like this was coming. Gonna try to make it out to the Chicago date.

Wow, I completely missed out on the clear w/ green splatter. A little sad now... Gonna have to keep a close eye on this for when it inevitably pops back up as in stock closer to the release date.

Here's a video of the stage production

edit: I should probably say that this is a spoiler for how the majority of the album is going to sound.

 

 

This album is gonna be a lot more psychadelic, and less just indie-pop than B-Room. I'm looking forward to it, but then again, I really enjoy the original unreleased version.

Oh I'm gonna need to pick this up sometime before it sells out. Also seconding the notion for Out Of The Fierce Parade, that one needs more love.

i think this is still my AOTY. however, the biggest bummer to me when i saw them was how messy the drumming was. some of those fills that sounded epic on album were so so so sloppy...

Mr. Buttery seems to have the occassional show where his chops are off point. Last time I saw them he was absolutely tearing it up on the drums though.

Damn dude. If you're serious, I'll try to carry on your legacy if you're willing to sell me the green and light blue first presses of Formlessness. Those are the ones I'm missing.

I had no idea this was a thing until just now. Oh god the Toe test presses.

Damn, but not very surprising. Jacket sounds like it's gonna turn out great, but kind of disappointed in about the color in color. The yellow in black sounded much cooler.

 

They're also gonna send out a test press with a random order from each webstore.

Don't know how to embed, but here's a video with both the A-Side and B-Side

I've accepted that my TWIABP tape collection will always be missing this and the Between Bodies promo tape.

I asked Derrick for one of the Between Bodies promo tapes for my collection. He said he would send one to me but then he never did lol, guess that's life.

 

Anyways, here's what the cassette looks like. Gimme a bit and I might make a shitty recording of the B-side. Unless TWIABP wouldn't want that, but they usually don't give a fuck about these things.

Got the cassette, clear pink, and violet mix copies today. They also threw in a Trashlord cassette. I love BWM so much.

I guess I'll throw my hat into the ring, if anyone going to the record release show is able to get extra copies I'd appreciate one. I'd like to keep my 12" collection complete.

First half of the album is good, but the second half is amazing. Can't wait for November to roll around for the Chicago show.

I really like this song, it's a nice change of pace compared to pretty much anything else they've put out.

Anyone else that did a pre order at a show, did you get any sort of email or other conformation? They said I’d get an email in a few days. Not sure how I feel about that.

I haven't yet, and neither did my friend and that was over a week ago.

What a time to be alive.

After last night's show, I gotta say that Steve's live drumming is just awesome. None of their recorded material really captures just how good he is. Hopefully there's something on the album, or one of their other upcoming releases that does him justice.

 

Unfortunately last night everything broke and they had to end the set early. Seeing Chris do a divebomb towards Derrick's pedalboard in an effort to save it while they were starting up "Wait, What?" was kind of funny, but he dropped his guitar and you couldn't help but cringe hearing it hit the ground. Hopefully they get everything fixed.

 

It's a train wreck.  I really hope there are less options and confusion for this pre-order.

Something else you may not be aware of – it's not a guarantee, but there's a very good chance that the European pressing will sound better than those pressed in the U.S.  They're also typically 180 gram, if that's something you're into.  And as a U.S. resident, they're virtually the same price after shipping.  Food for thought.

I see, I'll admit I've never bought from Epitaph before so I don't really have any idea about how they do things. Sounds like a nightmare.

 

I think I'm just gonna grab the BWM variant of this record. This band is definitely a hassle to keep up with, but they're so good.

There is no embossed cover.  It's a jab at the Epitaph confusion with the new Deafheaven pre-order.

Ah. I don't really listen to Deafheaven so I had no idea about this.

I'm confused now, so there's an embossed cover? Can someone just list out all the variants?

 

I know of:

 

Standard black

Pink (Epitaph)

Yellow (Hot Topic)

Broken World Media/Band exclusive variant

Wait is the pink an Epitaph bundle exclusive?

Fuck everything.

If it is I'm probably just gonna order the BWM variant.

Wait....like 12am midnight?

Yes, midnight tonight.

Good thing I'm gonna be seeing them on Tuesday.

Glad a preorder date was announced, my F5 button will be ready.
