I want to hear a couple 3-4 year olds tell each other, “see you in the pit!” We just finished a woods hike. It was in my head the whole time. All I have to do is go “and it’s been so long”, and he immediately follows with “all the mystery’s GONE”, also with dinosaur-like aplomb (and again, the air mic, which really ties the whole thing together).

Hopefully in due time she’ll also be holding an air mic and shouting “DON’T YOU SAY” with a really serious face like mine. He also thinks the quiet part in “Holiday” is “I can cel with no abration” in line with the “I wanna celebrate” refrain. 😆

Well here I am living this discussion out. My 4 year old and I made the Seth Meyers appearance our first video of the morning and followed it up with the H5Six record release show. Since I only occasionally dip a toe in the hardcore pool I had never given them a chance before hearing “Mystery”. I downloaded the album and didn’t like much else, finding it akin to when Minus The Bear got a new electronic toy and shoehorned awkwardly into everything. Subsequently I was riding with him in the truck and played “Mystery” and he was JAMMIN in the car seat. I was making a turn as the song ended and “Blackout” started. I went to change it to something else (he also really loves Fiddlehead) and he got upset and said, “Hey! I liked that!” So we listened to the rest and he loved almost all of it. Now since that day we listen to most of the album every day at some point. He’s in love. “We need to get this record, da-da!” he says. And so I wait for this black repress to go back up. Preorder from Flight 13 is the backup plan.

I am in favor of this.

Saw these guys last night in Detroit and they were FUCKING AWESOME. It was everything I hoped for. I’m happy to report they have copies of this AND the Satisfaction RFC repress for sale on tour. Unfortunately I was not able to verify which variants. But regardless DO NOT miss them live if you get a chance. They played a couple new songs too that sounded great. I was a little worried they’d go in more of a general proggy direction like “Evangeline Dream” but it was definitely more of the Hum-ish distortion-laden post-hardcore they do SO well.

Gahhhhhhh, wish I would’ve known this before I sold mine when I quit my job and went back to school.

Transit ruined themselves. And the drugs ruined everything.

1. This should indeed be on the Everything Else board but no big deal. 2. First question was “who got ‘Waiting Room’?”. Glad it was Failure. Solid cover. 3. Taking Meds is going to steal the show here.

I am happy to say I own a copy of the superior-sounding UK pressing but the people deserve a repress of Stakes Is High, damn it!

I know it’ll never happen but Down To Earth Approach’s first album would be sweet. Only came out on CD.

I like this about 1000x more than anything on Interiors. Stoked. Will buy whatever format this comes out on.

Confirmed

I would greatly appreciate when these start arriving if anyone can do a comparison with the OG. I’m very on the fence about ordering this. I love this album but not enough to own 2 copies if there’s not a significant difference in quality. Thanks!

I second this, plus I think Deep In A Hole is the best thing they’ve done. New Sidewalk is least favorite but still very enjoyable. This is coming from someone who still thinks Stand Tall should be in the Smithsonian. Killer deal for this repress. Sounds better than the OG to me. Somebody better jump on it.

I just want the 3 song EP that followed this. That shit rips.

This EP is a slobberknocker. Easily their most consistent and well-flowing release. The continued lack of awareness on this band is criminal.

Thanks for the reminder, homie. Went with a haze. Didn’t like any of the colors but haze is a cool way to go usually....as long as the jacket isn’t full of sand when I get it. Shit, I should’ve picked green. D’oh!

You say the most beautiful things.

Ooh la la. I was beyond disappointed with Real Fear, but this is TASTY. I’m going to have to hear a couple more before I trust enough to buy the whole album, but this is a wonderful start. Also, am I not recognizing some sort of slimmed down, cleaned up appearance or is Junior no longer pounding the skins for them? That’s a huge loss if so.

True. I actually talked to dude from Floodlight on Facebook IM last weekend. Tried to make him conjure up a “lost in the warehouse” box out of thin air to no avail. He definitely sounded like he has no interest in getting back in the game. I’ve about reaching out to Jeff C (he still owns/runs RFC, right? I hadn’t bought a release of theirs in like 7 years before I snagged a green of this) on that repress topic. I have to imagine the idea has already occurred to him.

Love this album, and these guys are my new favorite band. Been listening to their catalog non-stop since the video for “Stuttering Stanley” woke me out of my slumber. If anybody has a copy of either of their previous records (Far Removed and Satisfaction) and would be willing to part with them for $65 shipped or less, PLEASE shoot me a PM. They seem to never pop up on eBay, and the Discogs prices start at $80. Barf.

As somebody who spent 5 miserable years in the bleak Upper Peninsula of Michigan and discovered emo at the beginning of it (out of pure necessity), I can’t overstate my happiness at this band’s existence and their perspective on it. I also had the Stay Inside LP pre-ordered, so I haven’t gotten my copy yet. I also tacked on their first Forest Green release. Stoked to finally get it all sometime soon hopefully.

Can’t believe: 1. This actually got repressed...twice. 2. I missed this thread when it was first up. Kicking myself. Snagged a 180g Black now though so all is well....except that Sirens has still never been pressed. Maybe if this 2nd pressing sells out someone will take notice that the demand is there.

Let us not forget Biohazard. “Punishment” was a personal musical revolution for me. I also remember Greta videos being on there often. Never got into them though.

I own the 2010 repress already but will pick this up if they include “Boys’ Republic”. That’s such a slept-on great song in their catalog.
