Honestly I think it's the clear part of the splatters that gets boring. Splatters are great but the clear kinda gets meh

February 2021 seems ages away.  What a massive album rollout – hope there’s not 4 singles or something.
 
I wonder if future episodes of Pawn Stars will have the shop owner rifle through then-vintage record collections, explaining to the camera how “yeah, you know, back in the early 2000s, everyone was just kind of obsessed with having this splatter effect on every new vinyl release.  You see it a lot on these kind of collections brought in.  Just a weird, different time for record labels.”
 
It’s just all so tiring.

Hell the fucking yeah. I hate it so much.

Can confirm this album is nasty! I'm on my like 6th listen in 16 hours and loving it more each time. Cleaned out my garage yesterday and it was a great album to push me along.
 
If I had to compare this to anything it would be like Diiv and Turnover having a love child. Leave Yourself has a heavy Diiv vibe and there are moments throughout that remind me of Turnover. The beginning of "Whatever" sounds like it was straight ripped from a Diiv song.
 
There are a few slower/softer moments on the album that are kind of ehh but not terrible. Like the song Silver.
 
All in all I'm super happy with it and I'm going to have to find me one of those nifty first presses that sold out.

Yeah, mock ups usually are.

Story time.

Back in the early 2000s I was a manager of several indie movie theaters in the Philly suburb area. I randomly came across Translating The Name  in 2004 and was floored. Played it on repeat all the time and got a fellow co-worker hooked on it too. In 2005 I saw that Saosin was playing at the Trocadero, a fairly small music venue in Philly. At this point I knew the band had a new singer, so I didn't expect the same vocal style, but I was still stoked to see the band live. I went with the same co-worker mentioned above. The set was pretty decent, but lacked the same vocal presence that the former singer Anthony could bring.
After Saosin played my co-worker and I went to the upper part of the venue to grab a beer. He lit up a cigarette and we stood there chatting. A minute later some kid walks up to us and asks for a light from my friend. He hands over the lighter, the two look at each other, and the interaction went as such...
Kid: "Brian?"
Co-worker: "Oh hey... Anthony!"
Co-worker (to me): "Do you remember Mike Green who used to work at the theater in Doylestown? This is his little brother Anthony."
Me: "Oh, yeah. Hey man, nice to meet you" (shakes hands)
At this point the two of them continued chatting and I stood there for a solid 2 minutes repeating in my head... "Anthony. Anthony. Anthony Green. Anthony Green? ANTHONY FUCKING GREEN!"
Me: "HOLY SHIT! YOU'RE ANTHONY GREEN!"
Brian: "Uhhh, so what?"
Me to Brian: "Dude, this is Anthony Green, formerly of SAOSIN and now Circa Survive. We've played Translating The Name non-stop. That's his fucking voice!"
Brian: "Oh shit."

The three of us chatted for a good hour about his brother, his time in Saosin, and new band Circa Survive. Turns out Anthony grew up in the same town as us and we knew his older brother without even realizing it. Over the years we would grab drinks with Anthony here and there in town and he often hooked us up with the Circa Survive show guest list or photo passes. I miss those days.
 
 

Very nice! Def waiting because I can't stand SRC but happy it's getting a repress 

Don’t discourage them... 😛

I use a pencil and notepad. Speaking of dead format. 

Six months of mandatory quarantine probably helped 😉

more like live format amirite

Wow what a great insult!
 
GTFO with that shit.

I'm in the same boat Derek. Pressing numbers and "limitedness" don't mean jack to me anymore.
 
Also I think I figured out why I don't love the new song just yet. Chino's delivery feels off to me..

Wow what a great insult!
 
GTFO with that shit.

Yeah famdom is weird. I'm a pretty green Deftons fan though so I'm not mad at all. I'm excited for the album for sure.

Wow what a great insult!
 
GTFO with that shit.

Congrats on getting triggered enough in a fucking Deftones thread to succumb to that.  Fuck off and out of here you edgy 14 year-old degenerate.

Wow what a great insult!
 
GTFO with that shit.

Hey. Cut it with the ableism. You got a temporary ban for making jokes about domestic violence, said that "dumb sluts" had it coming, and other trolling comments. This is just as bad. We didn't forget. @Shitty Rambo  @jhulud

Dang not what I was expecting to see today. They are pressing the wrong SEA albumt though.
 

Anytime more people can own an awesome album like this is a good thing..
