AlexH. Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 http://undertow.myshopify.com/products/david-bazan-passenger-string-quartet-volume-1 Not thrilled about the song choices (3 Achilles Heel songs, really? Also Second Best would've been dope with this lineup) but WHATEVA. Bazan is still better than your favorite band. niblips and Daniel Dopp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billya Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I am going to listen to the stream and see how I like it. I love me some Bazan, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seangj Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Super long pre order, but happy with the instant download. Also, I agree with the odd song selection. Maybe we can have Second Best on Volume 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 my biggest gripe is these are the songs he's been playing on tour for six years now. some of the songs sound cool, some songs sound slowed down and boring to me. either way, i'll pick this up and see the show.

The Exquisite Death of NK Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I ADORE Bazan. And I almost pre-ordered this without even listening to the songs. But work got crazy, and I didn't end up buying it right away. And now, after streaming a few of them, I feel like the strings are almost too loud... its hard to hear the main parts of the song: the vocals and the guitar. Thoughts?

just a normal guy kevin Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I dunno about this. I love all these songs but the strings sound way too in front like I'm listening to one of those novelty string quartet cover albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laralaurent Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 http://undertow.myshopify.com/products/david-bazan-passenger-string-quartet-volume-1 Bazan is still better than your favorite band. Yup. This thread made my day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achillesstand7 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Sounds good to me so far, but I can understand some of the complaints about the strings being too upfront. Very excited to be able to listen to it right away too. I'll be interested in seeing what is on Vol. 2. I hope the tour comes somewhere near me...

mayatex Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I'm really pumped for this. I've listened to the couple of youtube videos of him playing with the strings >100 times. I'm also excited for volume 2! http://undertow.myshopify.com/products/david-bazan-passenger-string-quartet-volume-1 Bazan is still better than your favorite band. Seconded!

Immediate download at least? haha * CD and Vinyl orders get links to download 320 MP3s and High Resolution 24/96 WAVs immediately after purchase is complete. Yeah that's what I was talking about, I was saying regardless of the pre-order date at least it comes with an immediate digital download.

somethingvinyl Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I am one of the biggest fans of Bazan around. I don't have any stories like we're buddies or whatever, but I am a big fan boy. I got into PTL hearing a song on a T$N comp back in 1997, been a fan ever since. I just need to say: that I'm not very interested in hearing old songs set to orchestration!

niblips Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I ordered last night... disappointed about the shipping to Canada, but i can do nothing about that. Basically i'll be paying twice for this album..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achillesstand7 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I asked "Will Vol. 2 follow soon, or just sometime later on in the future" on Twitter. Bazan responded "the latter. I'm guessing 2016, but i can be full of shit when it comes to projecting release dates." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianmorgante Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 After listening, I wasn't as into this as I thought I would be. Passing for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Dopp Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Some of these caught me by surprise. Some of these didn't come out as good as I hoped. I love Bazan more than most people... he's my favorite artist of all-time. I ordered this but I'm not as pleased as I want to be. I really think this could've been put together a little better. This seems to be recorded live in the same room. I wish they would've tracked it more traditionally, but that's just my opinion. Second Best, The Poison, In Stitches and Secret of the Easy Yoke would've been fantastic for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Indian Summer would have been cool to hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
