Got mine today. It looks great! Good choice @Dave Grohl! I was ready to post a Willy Wonka gif of I've got a golden ticket, but sadly, I wasn't a winner.

Ha! June 5th. Exactly 3 weeks from printing to in usps's hand.

USPS got my package on the 26th. Still in Miami for international distribution. hopefully I'll get it this week.

Yeah, we do have similar tastes. I always pay attention when you recommend something, and generally like it. I think IV has a couple of good tunes but it doesn't flow nearly as well as their other records, but I feel like I'm missing something because lots of people love it. I think you are dead on that Vortex is more of the same, but I'm ok with that. I'm not someone that is always looking for bands to find inventive ways to write music. While it can be nice, I find when bands stray into new territory, I lose interest. There are definitely notable exceptions. II and III are excellent, but I has that hardcore influence that waned as they matured. Holy hell, some of those riffs are catchy.

Why are you talking about him like he's not here? Has anyone been listening to the new Toundra? Any opinions out there? I like it, don't like IV very much (I've tried to like it), so I am happy about this one. For full disclosure, I is my favorite by far.

Also in for Matt's variant. Shipping to Aus is expensive, but still worth it.

Time to buy a speed box!!! I kid. I find multi-speed records to be annoying too.

Well, this rips. There are parts of the first song that have some sounds that make me think of GnR - Use Your Illusions.

Did anyone see Ricky Gervais mention we lost the sea in a tweet? It was a surreal moment when I saw it. I had to read it a few times to make sure what I saw was what I saw.

I'm into that track. Definitely want to hear the rest before I bite the bullet.

I really like that Gullwing record. Superficially, I don't particularly care for the name. New Toundra this year? I'm pretty stoked for that too!

Yeah, Agonist is great. But the heavy parts in Sunshine are so groovy.

I bought Utopiod, only 6 euros for shipping from Pelagic. I pick it up more because they are Rosetta; it is my least favorite of theirs so far. I'm willing to give it more listens. They are playing Sydney on Saturday at a pretty awesome venue with Sleepmakeswaves. Should be a pretty fun night. I feel like I've become kind of a hermit, so it's a big deal when I go to a show. I tend to buy tickets and then when the day comes I don't feel like going. Looks like 2018 is shaping up to be a big music year for me. Two of my favorites are recording right now: Latitudes and Glaciers. The last Latitudes has been on heavy rotation since its release (easily top 3 of 2016 for me). I always get nervous when a band I love releases new music though. Fingers crossed.

I know right? They are quiet for about a year and blamo. Really excited to own some jakob back catalogue. That's gonna be an expensive day though. It's time to plug your phone in!

Wasn't prepared and completely missed it. Damn it.

damn it. that was a lot of money. Worth it though. Went with the non box set version.

Wish I could. That released song is the only recording i've heard. But that song is pretty consistent with their live set. So I've got hope that the full length is going to be fantastic.

For what it's worth, I think they are one of the best bands in Australia right now. I hope their record lives up to their performances. I'm an idiot, I didn't even add in their name. For everyone else, their band name is: YLVA.

A Melbourne band is about to release their debut record on Translation Loss (US) and Pelagic (Europe). New song is great, can listen here. I think for fans of Isis and Rosetta I suppose. Has a spacey post-rock vibe towards the end. Translation loss has a pretty cool variant that is Silver and Bone White Merge with Aqua Blue, Sea Blue and Olive Green Splatter, limited to 200. The Pelagic variant is cool too, bone in clear (colour in colour).

I missed on the gold. Bummer.

The whole Rosetta album, Utopioid, is up on their bandcamp site. I like it. I'll be keeping an eye out for the vinyl release. Also, just got tickets to see them in Sydney, pretty pumped about that.

Seriously! Thanks for giving this a thread. Love me some pg.lost.

Total bull. Missed out on both splatters. What i get for living in Australia I suppose.

Thanks for sharing! Those last two are also my favorite.

Thanks for the heads up, was hoping that was the case. I could probably drive down the road to pick it up.
