Anyone still think there's a secret second album?  I thought this thread was for conspiracies, not pressing/shipping info...

What parts are there to dislike on this album, out of curiosity?  I'm finding that it fluctuates between tracks that are incredible and tracks that are amazing.

I think for me it really is just Turtleneck that I dislike.  I know it returns them back to the days of Alligator and whatnot, but it just feels like it doesn't belong on this record.  The song seems disjointed and not well put together in my opinion.  And after the cohesiveness and general smoothness of Trouble Will Find Me, it's an unwelcome change in my mind.

But I'm sure other people really love that song, so.........Opinions eh?

I'm on my third listen of Sleep Well Beast, and I feel like the parts I don't like on this album currently outweigh the parts I enjoy.  There are definitely some fantastic songs, but at the album's end, I'm just remembering the parts I dislike, which tarnishes the record in retrospect.  

I absolutely adored Trouble Will Find Me, so this is coming as a pretty big disappointment to me.  I have hopes that with subsequent listens it will sink in and get better though...

NPR hosted a live stream of them playing the new record live in its entirety.  It can be found at the link below if anyone is curious.  The mix isn't the best, even for a live show recording.

This album is going to be incredible.  Each consecutive record I've liked more and more.  I can't wait until next Friday.

So there it is.  Brand New in 2017 is actually fantastic.  After first listen this album obliterates all expectations of Mene and Nightmare mediocrity.  Looking forward to spending more time with the album.

Love Kingprince and SOS.  Love the single.  Will love the album.

I love his first album.  Really excited for this too from the new song.

This song is much more in line with what I'm hoping this album will be.  Song sounds great!

This album is great.  Fantastic buy.

I started up Fallout New Vegas again.  I'll be seeing you guys again in a few months.

Anyone picking up anything in the encore sales?  I ended up buying Banished and Grow Home in the past few days.

Picked up Child of Light and Metro Last Light Redux.  Trying to keep my spending down this sale.  We'll see how long I hold out...

This album grew on me a lot already.  I'm really digging it.  I wasn't a huge fan of In Currents, so Imbue has surprised me.

Gigwise doesn't work for me either.

Dang.  Well that's all I've got to offer.

PS.  I went to K-State as well.  Nice to see a fellow Wildcat on here

Not working for me in the US. Territory restriction?

I guess maybe.  Accessing from India (Go figure...)  This is the same stream, but from a different site.  Might work?

Stream's UP.

I would highly suggest a board game called Pandemic.  It's a cooperative game where you work as a team to beat the board and fight off a pandemic of viruses on a global scale.  It's strategic in all the right ways and has ways to increase or decrease the difficulty, depending on your mood.  There's a lot of rules to get your head around at first, but my wife and I love playing it together.

And if you like Clue, I HIGHLY recommend a two player board game called Mr. Jack.  It's really incredible fun and highly competitive.

As mentioned above, www.boardgamegeek.com is my go to resource for any sorts of board games.  Great site and community.

I'm living in India for a year, so mostly just travel stuff and things I find interesting.

So awesome this got funded.  Hopefully this helps them also release A Different Light and QU.

Another new single from the new album.

I haven't bought anything. I want to finish dark souls 2 before starting anything new and I still have AC Black flag to finish too. But ARMA 3 would be pretty cool.

 

I'll definitely get that damn goat simulator if it comes down to 5 bucks though.

 

What do you guys think of max payne 3? is it worth 6 bucks? State of decay sounds promising too but I'm pretty much over the zombie thing. But I would check it out if it is a good one.

I picked up State of Decay when it was on sale and played it for a night.  To be honest I found it kind of lacking.  It never really grabbed me, and the combat/exploration didn't seem nearly as engaging as I thought it was going to be.  I'll give it another shot, but my expectations for enjoying the game are not nearly as high as they were before I played it.

In the past few days I've grabbed the Witcher 2 and Hitman Absolution for $4 a piece.  Haven't had the chance to play any of them yet, but I'm excited.

Awesome news.  I really hope this gets funded so A Different Light and QU get pressed as well.  That would be fantastic.

So what's the demand for this?  Is the 3,000 copper going to sell out before the release date?  Just need to know if I can wait on this or not...
