Over time, more and more hits reveal themselves on this record. Can't wait to get my vinyl copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryantark Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 this. Over time, more and more hits reveal themselves on this record. Can't wait to get my vinyl copy. This2. First listen, I swore I'd stick with Oshin and be content. Each time I go back, I say, "Oh yeah, this song! This is a really good song!" It speaks to most of the recent comments around this feeling like a "best of" album, but may not be memorable and create a craving. The more you listen, the more you'll listen. Awaiting VMP. poweredbytrust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deoxitizer Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 They said yesterday on IG that they would start shipping today. I wonder if those tracking numbers they emailed in December will still be active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvv Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I want to see that wrap closer. Hopefully it isn't hidden back there for being shitty haha.CT posted a vid of the wrap around on Insta a week ago, looks like you can alternate between 4 different designs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVHX Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 On a release that took like 3 years, I pre-ordered 6 versions of this (including a tape) and on the release date, I don't have a single one in hand.

timsimmons Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Being 4 tracks shorter certainly wouldn't have hurt it. Could have done 4 tracks as an EP this past fall and then put out a 13 track LP. jeromium and no use for a username 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Can't speak for everyone, but the flow and length of this album are great in my books. It really breezes by – due largely to the variety, I think. When it's all said and done it does feel like it goes all over the place, but I think that really plays into its replay value. For me, anyway, it doesn't really feel stale at any point. There's no one song that pops up and has me wondering when the album is going to wrap up, or what I could be listening to instead. I don't know; between the variant, the runtime, and the variety on the record... there sure are a lot of gripes that don't seem to phase me in the least. Maybe I just got lucky. I find it a little funny because I wasn't nearly as hyped for this album as others were, and I wasn't 100% smitten with my first listen, either.

timsimmons Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I guess ultimately I'm a bit disappointed with it. Its really good, but its not a huge jump from Oshin. I still like the album and there is nothing wrong with doing Oshin part 2, but when they were talking like this was the make or break album and they are looking to push beyond Oshin, (and its my fault for buying into it), I was expecting something mind blowing. At times I feel its a bit samey and doesn't really push beyond the Oshin sound. On top of that 60 min isn't a crazy length for a record, but dialing it in to about 45 could possibly make the album a bit more impactful. Again, I like it alot and I'm gonna play it a bunch, but I wasn't blown away by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drds89 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Got my VMP copy today. Quite the mailer, indeed! Especially the text - I think it works much better than "Fragile" (which seems to be interpreted "Not Fragile, Use for Frisbee Practice" in my neck of the woods).
