I’m fine with his vocals on this album.  It’s the generic af radio pop beats at about all the same tempo.  Their whole “tribal groove” thing is what I love about them.  This is just dull.  And to have waited what, 6 years for this one?

I listened to this album once & cancelled my preorder.  I think that’s the first time I’ve ever done that.

I really like the song, but I’ve always thought that the guitar solo seemed really out of place for a Deftones song, and it would be better without it. 

So its just a standard in store signing. I was getting to the front of the line i was getting photo ready when an employee jumps in and says no pictures. I say okay then immediately take a selfie. Just look at my mans face

greasy filthy hand jobs in truck stop restrooms hot carling all over the place hot carling I turned that into a verb i hope you appreciate it Hot Carling Academy It's a school where you go to learn how to butt fuck they don't have blow jobs there because they are uncircumcised and that is just disgusting so they have to butt fuck which is also disgusting because that extra foreskin traps all the germs and the poop, and the butt fucking residue within


and that is why british people have bad teeth, amen

Instead of caving on that single I've opted to revisit Gore this morning.  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.

I think this is my current instrumental jam of the year...
 
 

I agree with that.  It’s annoying.
 
Speaking of 3 EPs, the new Sleepmakeswaves is so bad & I’m glad I never ordered that.  They should never use vocals again.  Ever.  Please.

Yeah I Po’d the 3-color

^ this. Getting OG art on an Appleseed Cast reissue is about as likely Gumbo disavowing post-rock...

That club variant is 🔥🔥🔥.  And yeah The Web is like top 3 TS for me

I didn't realize I was already getting sent a copy and bought an /300 too. That's not numbered yeah but the club one is lol. I couldn't decide which variant was better so I just kept both. The Web is incredible 
 

Here’s the great part.  There’s no proof it isn’t 1/300

just got shipping notice on this. best of luck on that 1/300!  

I had completely forgotten about Ringo Deathstarrs new one. Went ahead and bit the bullet on that cotton candy and am listening to it again today. So good.

I’m honestly buying more on some of these Bandcamp revenue holidays than I do on a typical Record Store Day and I’m getting better stuff and the band/label is making more money so I’m finding them pretty cool.

Came here to say this.  They sound how they should have sounded.

I'll try and attend at least one of these dates but it's not just about the limited releases for me anymore. The last 5 years or so I've taken my Dad to a couple of shops and we grab a beer and lunch after. We don't stand in line or anything, we tend to shop in the afternoon and usually there's a RSD release or 2 we were looking for along with some used stuff we end up grabbing. If we miss anything I just go online and grab them on discogs the week after.  My Mom has even started framing the exclusive RSD posters my Dad picks up while we're out. So yeah, it's become more of a father and son thing over the years, which is awesome and we both look forward to it every year.

if you're interested in an Aurora test press. I would advise you to visit their Bandcamp on Friday 🙂
 
 

This new Driving Slow Motion song is one of my new favs of the year...
 
 

This is a "the best of" Creed. It has etching on all 4 sides. No music. Framing purposes only. 

Listened to Barrens earlier & it was solid, not great imo.  All 3 of these releases are far better to my ears. 

Spotlights EP > Holy Fawn EP

Don’t get me wrong that Holy Fawn EP is fantastic in itself.  I was just saying that’s how much I like Spotlights to say it’s better than that.
