That link only has 3 songs on it now????
EDIT: Wow, Rioseco is absolutely fucking stunning. What a track. Very different dynamic level for Caspian to maintain for a song. It's like Caspian in a fancy nightgown dress at a ball thrown by the local drug kingpin: beautiful and light, but dark.
EDIT 2: Jesus Christ... Arcs of Command. Good fucking lord... Wow. This might be my new favorite Caspian song. This tune just does not quit.

I like his lyrics. They're weird. And paint stories that feel strange.
Dream House will forever be the best lyrics though. And best song.

I might take you up on that, dude. I love the original artwork. So pissed I decided to pass on that at the Rhode Island gig. Stupid stupid stupid.
So, what can we kind of expect with the new plate pressing? What kind of sonic qualities does this process produce?
Can we expect it to actually sound radically different than the original?

Been listening to a lot of Sunbather lately. This record is so stupefyingly unreal.
The material translates so well to the live setting, I hope they keep most of it in their set. Although I was a little bummed they didn't have the piano part on sample for "The Pecan Tree" in the live versions I checked out.
But holy shit, "Sunbather" live is so punishing and amazing. There's a version where they add this chugging riff in the outro... Kerry takes a different picking technique attack and you can hear where they were going with this new material.

I'm extremely bummed they aren't incorporating more shoegaze/post-rock stuff into the sound. I cannot get enough of that.
blah blah artistic progression blah blah... Sunbather will be the album that they will be doing tours of in 10 years, not New Bermuda.
This will be a great album, but it will not be a game changer like Sunbather.
Sunbather is just one of those albums, like Dark Side of the Moon, that comes along once or twice a generation and just completely rips a new paradigm into existence and changes EVERYTHING.

This hits on a lot of the things that bug me about this track.
That guitar solo tone is fucking terrible. At least throw a little delay on there to soften it up. That little flourish would go a LONG way.
2nd, that fadeout -> Piano solo is SUPER fucking lazy songwriting.
The track fades out... implying an ending, oh and then we're going to play a piano part at the end. Just combine them together! Fading out on the piano would have been so sick.
This. So much this. Although Kettle is a direct descendent of Sunbather's style, I could get 20 more albums in that style and still never be satisfied.
Thinking about cancelling my pre-order and just buying the CD somewhere.
The mix and production on this album is just awful.
You forgot Slayer. The "Raining Blood" triplet section in the beginning of the song is, well... straight out of Slayer.

I get what you're saying but that's not the issue. I just don't like the sound of the instruments. The guitars are missing that dripping, soggy, swollen atmospheric aspect that I love(d) so much about Deafheaven's sound.
This production is just far too clean and dry for me. It sounds like it was recorded in a lab. Everything is too perfect. The instruments don't sit together in the mix the way they do on Roads and Sunbather. Rather than a group hug, they're all standing apart from each other.
This is just not at all the "sound" I want from Deafheaven. They've gone commercial, making everything slick and fancy and clean in the production department.
The riffing style on this track is way different too, lots of thrash style picking patterns. They even do the Raining Blood groove at the beginning with those triplets.
This sounds like Deafheaven with the lights on. There's no atmosphere or vibe here.

Talking about the track, frontman George Clarke said, "We wanted to share 'Brought to the Water' first because it gives a good idea of the overall sonic tone of the record and really evokes feelings that come with uprooting and throwing oneself into the complacent, monotonous routine of adulthood."
Yeah, because playing in Deafheaven must be so hard to deal with.
Not in love with the production on this album. It sounds like every other sterile modern metal album. Sunbather's production was PERFECT, the perfect mixture of clarity and atmosphere and analog liveliness. It was living and breathing... organic.
This record is tight and closed and flat. I like that they experiment with regular guitar leads here, but.... where's the delay? Put some fucking delay on that. Its so dry.
Clean break section is pretty sick, but I can't fucking stand the sound of those drums.
Yeah, I hate this production. This is everything I dislike about modern extreme metal production. It's like everything is stacked together. It doesn't sound like a group; it sounds like a bunch of tracks on top of each other, with no coherence in the mix.
The music itself, the writing, is fucking sick.
Anybody else hearing "Kiss Me" by Sixpence Nonethericher melody in there too? Lol. Right before the fade-out part that leads to the piano.

Just got my package Tuesday. Haven't spun Sines yet, but I played one side of Beware of Safety "It Is Curtains" during my lunch break today. So sick.
Have "Sines" in my car though.
Blind Them With Science has to be one of the greatest post-rock things ever created. Can't wait to sit down with that on my turntable. Head will go 'splode.
