i grabbed a copy this morning. may wanna keep an eye out... 

yeah, that castlevania cover art is weak as hell. the back cover is bad too. III's cover wasn't good either. there's so much cool shit they could be doing with all the space on these gatefold jackets.

I'd say their first two records were really overrated but that last one was incredible, so I kinda agree with you. There was a lot of hype around them where I live for some reason, but that all stopped after they signed with Pure Noise (local scene is ran by someone who's obsessed with victory. Victory bands play here like once a month)

Interesting take. Could just be geographic differences but I always felt like they were brushed off by many since they were on victory during a time when victory was mostly releasing terrible music (probably still are?). The current will carry us isnt mindblowing but its solid enough and i thought the difference between hell and home was awesome. obviously, the last record was real good as well. I cant think of too many other bands that have picked up where bands like shai hulud and strongarm left off and have done it nearly as well.  

underrated band. 

bump. not much stuff left but still looking to clear out the little that remains... 

new song is... ehh. feels like this one is going to be more like era vulgaris which is the only QOTSA album i dont really care for. ill reserve final judgment till ive heard the whole album. artwork is rad though. 

converge, coca, shai hulud, trap them, another yaphet kotto gone. lowered prices on most stuff thats still left. 

copy from amazon was the white/black split which i expected. gatefold jacket w/ booklet insert and download included.

really happy with this. its a good mix of everything i liked about this band (cool to see the audio samples back). reminds me the most of vanity but it definitely has even heavier moments a'la best of/until the ink runs out. 

amazon says july 28th.

converge - jane doe and yaphet kotto - syncopated... sold + lowered price on a few things. 

Looks like the LPs are on sale this weekend. Grabbed a green or blue or whatever it is.

Added botch, phoenix bodies, helms alee lps.

bump for more stuff sold + more stuff added.

Whats the trend of $8 shipping?

 

This is the third time i have seen this from an artists' site this week. Is their more insurance protection packed in this vs media mail?

shipping cost + packaging materials + labor. smaller operations probably dont care about this kinda stuff but larger fulfillment companies w/ more overhead tend to.

apparently this record is only 14 minutes long. song kinda sounds like angel dust influences have spilled heavily over into TUI. 

Deftones sold.

bump for even more stuff added. 

i can probably count on one hand the bands id preorder a record from 4 months in advance. the national is one of them. 

bump for some new stuff added.

i have to say - its pretty nice not giving a single fuck what other people do with their property. 

been quite a while since this band put out something i dig. new song was unexpected...

couple spins through and i think its good. its not blowing my mind but its pretty faithful to their sound and a helluva lot better than a lot of recent post-reunion albums that have come out in the last couple of years (im looking at you refused). 

really liked TJT back in the day but this whole thing is super cringey - not unlike brett detar's whole singer / songwriter / country shtick. original pressings of this record sat around forever from CI when nobody cared about vinyl. 

ordered from amazon. i hate rise's preorder package bullshit.
