I want to listen to this so bad but... this is most likely the last Dillinger record I'll greatly anticipate ever again. I'd hate to spoil it by listening early, so I'll be holding off another couple days (this is proving to be more difficult than I thought it'd be).

Though I'd love to hear the consensus from those that have listened already

can anyone comment on the pressing and sound quality of the standard black or any pressing?

My blue variant has some surface noise, with a notable pop at the beginning of side B. Gonna give it a solid clean sometime soon and see if it helps at all.

Despite the error, I'm still super amped to get my record and jam most of this

Man, this album made me call my mom today. I lost my dad about 8 years ago now, and the idea of losing the only other parent I have left is heavy. Sending good vibes to you all dealing with such a loss

If you guys didn't see the Facebook Q&A, Casey kind of confirmed what people have been suggesting with Act 1-3.  He mentioned having Nicky Barkla (the artist who did the covers for Act IV and V) redo the covers for 1-3 and possibly do a box set with whatever music component there is for Act VI.

 

I haven't watched the entire session because it's over and hour and a half long.  But he also mentioned wanting to repress the Color Spectrum.

As much as I don't want to buy Act 1-3 a third time, it'd totally be worth it to get matching artwork. It really bothers me how 4 and 5 have such different (albiet absolutely beautiful) artwork than 1-3

My preorder can't come soon enough holy hell

I like this infinitely more than any of the other variants, limited bundle included.

Just got this email:

We would like to thank you for your purchase of Norma Jean - Polar Similar !

These items were originally scheduled to be shipped before the release date of 09.09.2016 but unfortunately there has been a delay in the production of the vinyl. 
We have been in contact with their record label and are told to expect them in Early November . You'll still be receiving the full album digital download as planned via email on the release date!

Cue "The Hobby!", "Record Store Day problems", etc. etc.

Amped for this. Fisherman's Song is basically my favorite from these guys

Video brings all the feelings

My buddy picked up a copy of it for me last week, they have both that and The Deal. $20, I believe. WOB is on black. 

Awesome, definitely wanna pick up both. Thanks!

Does anybody know if they have What One Becomes with them on the current tour? Hoping to snag one in Brooklyn tonight

Based on the setlist i saw they need to give those first 3 records more love. Insanely last album heavy. I feel they usually play at least one irony is a dead scene song too. 

 

If this is truely the beginning of the end they need to give the masses what they want. 

I reaaaaally miss the days of them playing When Goods Dogs Do Bad Things and Destro's Secret.

I don't get Beartooth. I listened on a couple occasions and I was like, "That's it?"

Want ETID to do another small club headliner. 

I feel like at this point it was only a matter of time. Sorta heartbroken about the news still though 

Pretty sure this is just a single off of the upcoming album which is due later this year. At least I really hope it is. It's been too long since they've put anything out 

Holy hell this is dope. So excited for my preorder to come

ugh why a co-headliner. I just want to see these guys headline again

I'm pretty sure this will be the 20th time I've seen these guys. Of all the venues though, the smaller ones have always done way more justice to their live show. So amped to see them at Rough Trade. The shows they played in Amityville were absurdly fun

Dunno if anybody else is having trouble, but it seems the track won't load for me on Stereogum's site. Below worked for me

Literally the only ABR album I've ever wanted. Fucking amped

Album is disappointing. And my expectations weren't even all that high to begin with 

What even is this

Mine just showed up, ordered smoke variant, got the black 

Maybe it's just reeeaaaally smokey 

Seriously though that sucks, hoping they can sort that shit out for you

The "dark" theme is what the "VC Blue/Green" theme should have been in the first place -- but even then, it's still way too bright IMO.

 

A dark theme should actually be, you know, dark:
