  1. Silent Alarm is killer all the way through. A Weekend in the City and Intimacy have great first halves, but lose momentum towards the end. Four is pretty good throughout and the final track is one of my favourites of theirs. They lost an amazing drummer when Matt left and then Gordon leaving was pretty much the final nail in the coffin. They haven't been the same since and Hymns shows it.

     

    I'll give the new album a chance, but losing their previous rhythm section really hurt their sound.

    I’m sure everyone who cares gets the emails by now, but Sloan is putting out a collection of their hardcore originals and covers from a little while back (originally a 7” and a digital album):

    They had advance copies for sale at their shows last weekend. Managed to have a brief chat with Chris Murphy and he said they're going to put out a new album next and then do either a Smeared or Between The Bridges box set. He's leaning towards BTB as it's mostly him that sings on Smeared and he wants the other guys to have a more equal chance to sing on tour. Either way I'm happy.

     

  3. I had a pressing defect on my Wild Flower edition and I waited about a week with no response before opening a Paypal dispute. Even then it took them a week to respond that they would send an Auguries edition as a replacement since they didn't have any more Wild Flower editions. 

    We'll see if that actually gets sent. It's unfortunate since I've surprisingly never had any issues with them before.  I'll still get their MONO variants over Temporary Residence because the difference in shipping cost is somehow negligible to Canada.

    Just cancelled my cream for $136 and picked up a Canadian copy of the red for about $75 USD shipped here:

    It comes out to CA $94.99 shipped ~ $75 USD. Worth the $61 savings for sure.


    Interesting, the description says red OR black. I guess it's random which one you get?
