Really excited that this is seeing the light of day!

Crap. I've got the LP with the 7" that they did a few years back, but I'm thinking I want this too....one of my all time favorite albums.

In that case, screw it.  Still cheaper than snagging an OG

Any idea if any US distros will get this? I really want to snag it, but the shipping hurts my soul. Damn US being a pain.

Though, very true, the Rev star on the back where the Caroline/Fist logo was would be a dead give-away (and the whole color vinyl thing). Super minor gripe aside, still very happy to be able to spin this for a decent price.

Sounds great, wish they didn't alter the artwork, it doesn't add anything. Not nearly as offensive as that Negative Approach 7", but it was totally unnecessary 

Well, this is awesome. Picked those both up.

Mine showed yesterday, gorgeous and sounds fantastic, like everyone is saying. I know it's a minor gripe, but I wish, instead of being true to the original press, they did a full sized insert instead of the CD booklet insert. Total non-complaint, because who cares, the music is what matters!

Been waiting for this for a while, so incredibly happy that it's coming out on Mayfly in the US. Best band!

This was everything I was expecting. I'm very interested in what form Swans takes moving forward, considering Gira was saying this is the last Swans release in their current form. Either way, another great release in an untouchable discography.

Got the set in Monday, zero complaints over here. I'm actually happy it's not glow, because it sounds great. Realistically, anyone complaining should just try to track down originals and pay 4-5 times the amount that they paid for the set.

Despite the fact that this is a total cash grab, it'll be nice to pick up copies of records for a reasonable price that aren't chewed up! 

That and Black Album as an official/non promo release.

I could be imagining things, but I think if you opted for the "vinyl" package when you ordered that Gate CD, it includes the new album on vinyl in addition to the live DVD. Make sure you guys aren't ordering again, if you got in on that a while back.

 

I'm an actual moron and forgot about ordering the LP package when I picked up the Gate and still ordered the LP... looks like I'll be gifting someone a great record. Haha.

Damn, cart lagged when I signed into paypal and I missed it. Oh well! Congrats all you that got one!

I got the shirt in, but not the LP from the pledgemusic.... At least they're saying everything has shipped.

Just grabbed a purple. Very excited for this record.

Got everything in yesterday! That Soft Kill tape is fantastic.

Pretty!!

Did you get a shipping notification?

Very excited!!

After re-reading this topic, I realized I never got a download! SOB!

Or, to play devils advocate, it was on the top of the building before they painted it. There's a distinct possibility that this is the case, considering the amount of horrible shit I've seen painted on roof tops. On top of that, this was painted quite a while before all the controversy started. So, yeah, coincidence, I'm betting.

Either way, very excited for the new record.

Those splits/collaborations with Croatian Amor are so good. Not surprising with the shared member...

Their previous LP's are a bit more minimal than International, this is continuing on the lush path that International went down. It will probably be album of the year for me, despite it only being January right now (and it coming out officially in 2 months).

Can't wait for this. International has been my soundtrack for the last few years.

City of Caterpillar holds up soooooooooooo much better than Saetia. Saetia makes me cringe now. CoC sounds as fresh as the day it came out.

Agreed 100%. Saetia was notoriously horrible live, yet monumentally influential. CoC killed it from day one. Either way, it's good to see this getting out into people's hands again.

You know there's always the chance there was some existing graffiti on the roof...

It's like people have never been to a city before... People paint immature shit on rooftops all the time. Considering the Vice article, it sure as hell sounds like they found a span of rooftops that they could paint on without getting caught (at least until the end) regardless of what existed up there. 

The sound clip sounds great, I'm excited for the whole album.
