GhostTrail Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 The whole album leaked as well. This meets (and probably exceeds) my extremely lofty expectations. Definitely a contender for my AOTY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadDonut Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 This isn't to degrade you or sound like I think you're wrong or dumb or whatever so don't take it the wrong way. It's more towards music listeners in general. I 100% of the time wait to listen to an album until I either have it on my table or I have a download and listen to it on release date. Bands put so much work into making their music (especially this band) and they set a date for that album to be released and celebrated. Why would people not want to hear a certain album on the day it's supposed to be out? A release date is just as important as artwork, touring, merch, etc. It's a part of the whole you know? It is way more gratifying to listen to something on it's "birthday." With our advancements in technology and such it's so easy to gain early access. I always felt bad in the past when I would hear an album early whether that was from a leak or an "early stream." An album is always a little more fulfilling like that to me.. hippielauryn and snacks4all 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostTrail Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Completely respect that, and I agree with you for the most part. I often times do wait, but when I do it's to listen to an album I physically in my possession (obviously typically on vinyl, but previously on CD). Bands consistently releasing a plethora of songs and full album streams leading up to the release date, coupled with my habit of downloading music for the last fifteen years make it pretty difficult to wait for an "official" digital release. There really isn't anything more gratifying than taking an album in as a whole on first listen; reading the liner notes and admiring the artwork. I just typically lack discipline when it comes to holding out. Since these are shipping now I'll probably end up waiting until I get it in and give it a spin.

futures Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I rarely partake in streams before release dates. I want to own the release before I listen to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantheriver Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I want to own the release before I listen to it. Nothing wrong with holding out for your physical copy, but I personally feel like I own something already when I've paid in advance. It's not in my hands, but I definitely own a copy already.

parkinglot Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Getting a heavy Waves vibe from a lot of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostTrail Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Getting a heavy Waves vibe from a lot of this. Definitely concur with that. It's basically more in line with what my initial expectations of Waves were. Meaning, it has that additional aggression and the strained vocals, but there's still plenty of room for the dynamics of Pneuma as well.

HybridxReality Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I finally gave their earlier works a listen and wooooow, I'm so glad I purchased them and pre-ordered this new album. Super solid band, I love them. Can't wait to spin this. Also, very glad I snagged the /200. Looks amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynflnnry Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 No we watch as 50 people who didn't buy the /200 variant ask if anyone has an extra that they could unload. (for cost). i'm totally gonna step forward and be the first guy - if anyone who got the /200 isn't totally satisfied with the album for some ungodly reason and ends up with buyers remorse or what the heck ever, i would be glad to pay you a little extra for a copy. been kicking myself since the day i missed it. then i can sell my /500 to someone here below cost or something.

parkinglot Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Alright, I've listened through the album about 5 times now. I know it's early, and it will probably grow on me, but I expected a lot more. The singles are by far the best tracks, and the rest of the album just seems to blend together into long stretches where nothing catches me. Hopefully my opinion changes, because I thought this was going to be my AOTY after the 3 singles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimosnow27 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 damn, not good to hear that...I've listened to it about 50 times since I got the advance and I have to say it gets better every time. The slower/acoustic tracks build up to what are the band's best songs yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkinglot Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I feel like it could have easily been a 40 minute record and still kept it's post rock vibe, along with all the solid tracks. Like I said though, I'm sure it will continue to grow on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
