andrewlucas Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 My order wont be here until next friday. I hate when they ship things on release day. Dont they know it takes more than a few hours to get to us when its being mailed via ground shipping through ups? Things should be shipped to be received on release day!

andrewlucas Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Got the bundle today minus the vinyl. The book is pretty cool. It's kind of random. There's a recipe for basil penne with shrimp. One thing I though was the coolest is that there are some images from the comic book. When is that gonna happen?! I'd buy the shit out of those.

aellerton Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 If anyone could help me out, I'd really like to grab the new press of Gates' “The Sun Will Rise” that they have with them on this tour: http://gatesnj.tumblr.com/post/127800635957/putting-together-a-new-screen-printed-pressing-for. Ican't make the show by me, so if anyone can help out please let me know! I don't know what the cost is (probably $15-20), but I can Paypal it plus shipping and extra for your troubles.

andrewlucas Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I'm a little unsure about whether i like this album or not. To me it sounds like another Migrant. I'm just having a hard time finding a story in it. All of the other acts I could listen and imagine a broadway musical in my head and there was a story I could follow, but this one I have no idea whats going on. Am I the only one who feels like that?

gmoney Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Listened to about half of it and wasn't feeling it at all. Haven't enjoyed anything of his since Act II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewlucas Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 There are some good songs, but nothing that makes me feel like it's part of the story. And I don't like the sound that sounds like a Huey Lewis song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_James_Champ Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I had no issues connecting it to the other albums and story :/ TheEnigmyst 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highfives Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I think on the first couple of listens I was put off by how glossy the production is. The same production techniques used for Migrant are definitely on this record. I felt like the record ended poorly with Wait being a Black EP b-side and Ouroborous being an ill-fitting closer. But after multiple listens, I think this one is really strong. All of the musical reprises connect this to the earlier stuff and there are lyrical reprises that connect it to the story as well as earlier records. As for the ending, I'm assuming this is a cliffhanger ending and Act V will pick up right where this leaves off. I think this one is a grower and it will be considered one of the better installments.

andrewlucas Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I hear the connections. I'm just not following the story. I can't find one in this. The songs seem individual, like they are all unrelated. At first I thought I had something by thinking the Hunter was a captain on a war ship but then after a few more songs I had no idea what the hell was happening. Haha. And yeah, wait is basically the same song about God and Heaven as the one from the black EP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, wait is basically the same song about God and Heaven as the one from the black EP. I found the opposite actually! This definitely felt like an Act album to me and I found myself grasping the story probably easier than the other albums. I got obsessed! I think it flows really well from a story POV...you might wanna read some of the thoughts at Lake and the River and it might start joining some of the dots for you. I think the only real 'Migrant' type song is Remembered, but when I hear the line "The flame might be gone but the fire remains' I get all giddy. I didn't LOVE this as a whole until about 5 good listens through and but now I think it's probably my favorite. There is just sooo much here. Can't wait for the Act 1 graphic novel - Casey just teased some more pics on his instagram! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
