GreatGreenOne77 469 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 "Mark the Rapper" is slightly funny, I must admit. The spoken word breakdowns get a bit tedious, but then again, the same can be said for his last few years output. I found myself at the end of the album before I realized it. Something in my brain finally slammed down the wedge that split this new him away from who he used to be as an artist, so I can finally laugh & slightly enjoy this one. Much more enjoyable than Universal Themes to me though. He actually makes a few good points during his random rants, but it's generally a good listen just for laughs while I'm baked as hell....

(Was that the last time Kozelek played with a full band?) But I'd put Ocean Beach and Roller Coaster ahead of it, just for personal preference. It's probably tied for third with Blue Guitar. The amazing thing at the time was that Ghosts came out of nowhere. RHP was caught in label limbo... MK put out a couple solo EPs that were mostly AC/DC covers (with a couple John Denver covers for spice)... Sub Pop finally releases Old Ramon and RHP promptly break up after the tour... And then Mark randomly announces a new project, on a tiny label no less. For a guy who recorded for 4AD, Island, and Sub Pop, putting out an album on "Jetset Records" felt like a huge step backwards. And then we actually HEARD Ghosts... And damn, it was pretty much perfect. Couldn't wait for the follow-up. And then, Koz being Koz, he never remotely returned to the sound of that record again. I think that "Tiny Cities" was the pinnacle of his career, even though it was just Modest Mouse covers. It was brilliant. hobbesthecat 1 Link to post Share on other sites

shamrocks 329 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 down to 200 on CV can we talk about 4LP though like i will literally play this once Link to post Share on other sites

fish 318 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Funny thing is anything limited to 400 would have been sold out in half a day max before his last couple of albums got released. I really want to keep my collection complete, but i'm not sure i can pay $45 knowing it will probably just sit unopened on my shelf for years. Link to post Share on other sites
Ron Don Volante 65 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I purchased it. I actually like the album. mizzle 1 Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMatrix 146 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) A little strange that he is putting out this on vinyl so quickly and still hasn't done anything with his last couple records I'm also surprised at the price and shipping considering it's a 4LP. I paid almost as much for the Jesu 2LP Edited April 14, 2017 by JohnMatrix Link to post Share on other sites

BeardedSteven 16 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I will purchase it. When my local gets it (I asked them to get it today). I liked it when I streamed it, but this will be a nice one to split up into sides for easier listening. Link to post Share on other sites

mogambotek 12 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I'm surprised these are still available. I remember when Perils sold out in like what... 2 hours? I banged my head against the wall for missing it and stupidly paid $175 to an eBay scalper to get a copy. Little did I know it would be pretty easy to get later. Still kick myself for it. I guess people really aren't digging Koz or this album as much as they did a few years ago. Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMatrix 146 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I think it's the fact that a lot of long time fans don't like his new approach to songwriting. It is completely different than RHP and early SKM. It's pretty evident just reading most of the discussion in this thread the last couple years. Tommy 1 Link to post Share on other sites

kisol 166 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Looks like CV has removed the mention of 2000 copies being pressed. Now just says 400 available for pre-order. 26 left... Link to post Share on other sites

museummouth 2,641 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I would not put it past Koz to cut the number being pressed if something is not selling as fast. Link to post Share on other sites
