    Mine went having having a pre-label from last Tuesday to yesterday, to showing as arriving Saturday last night, to being delivered just now. Weird. I'm guessing they missed departure scan from CA.

    album wails

     

    Mine's still showing as Label Created from Saturday. Expecting any day I guess. USPS tracking is whack.

    Are we all done pretending this album is anything less than fantastic?  Not VC specifically, but I feel like a ton of people were shitting on it when it was released.  It's not their best record to date but I think it's super consistent and aged nicely.

    This is how I feel about s/t. Can we stop letting the strength of White Pony negatively influence the rating of this album? If any one of their later albums had directly followed White Pony it would have suffered the same lackluster response.

    I definitely appreciate the newer stuff, but the first four albums is where it’s at for me. I remember being really impressed with Diamond Eyes when it came out though. 

    I'm in the same boat – I've never disliked any of their albums but the first 4 are the strongest. And as suggested by a few, age certainly does have a lot to do with it (as it could for many long-running bands). I started listening when Around the Fur came out and it remains my favorite. I think the evolution of my taste in music has also had an impact on my enjoyment of all subsequent albums. But I feel the drop-off came after s/t – I like Saturday Night Wrist, Diamond Eyes, and Koi no yokan pretty equally, but was definitely less impressed by Gore. Or again, it could be that I haven't been the target audience for a while.

     

    Since andrewlucas asked, here are my rankings:

    Around the Fur > White Pony > Adrenaline > Deftones > Koi no yokan > Diamond Eyes > Saturday Night Wrist > Gore

     

  4. It's pretty annoying to see this kind of stuff appear at the very beginning of December tbh. How is the year "wrapped" when there's a whole month of listening left? 

    I use last.fm and submit all physical plays as well as those from my iTunes, so Spotify on its own isn't very meaningful for me. It's still fun to look at, but again stupid in early December. Though I know that's the thing to do across the whole music world - sharing Best Of/AOTY lists starting in November because as soon as the holidays start rolling around nobody cares and it's all about looking forward to the next year. /rant

    Nice. I'm not too familiar with their material but I do love Mickey Young and Total Control. I've only listened to their S/T, should check out the other two in the next few weeks. I like the new track.

    If anyone is such a massive fan that they need Thee Oh Sees in any conceivable format here is a super limited (100 total. 60 for sale, 40 to band ect), super expensive ($420) 8 Track 12 album boxset that will be on sale Monday 25th Nov 10am PST:

    https://5sevenrecords.bigcartel.com/product/thee-oh-sees-the-8-track-collection 

     

    If I had some rad 70s muscle car still equipped with an 8-track I'd certainly jump at the opportunity to blast some Oh Sees from it. But it's an easy pass otherwise. Good job it's so limited because what's the audience, aside form hardcore collectors who most likely have never even owned an 8-track player? Until now I guess.
