forbenator Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I'll be with Matt and Brian at the Seattle show! Sadly, that's the only one I can make it to. Stoked to see you there man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forbenator Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Today on Discogs I grabbed a copy of Hymn Of The Greatest Generation on cloudy clear vinyl for a very cheap price from the US, 16$ international shipping included. They have already relisted it if someone is interested http://www.discogs.com/sell/item/275795768 Then I checked how much it is on Hello Merch and that's the discovery. There's a new press of Hymn on cream with light grey splatter. No pressing info or preview available but the variant sounds nice to me and I could't resist. Since I was there I grabbed a copy of Waking Season on forest green which is also very cool and made the shipping affordable. http://hellomerch.com/collections/caspian/products/hymn-for-the-greatest-generation-ep Thank you buddy!

danyc Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Very infrequent poster here. Mostly at DF. Anyway, been reading this thread since last week and nobody here has talked about the misspress of the 180g Black/400, to my surprise. According to the label and Hello, many copies of this were shipped with two A/B sides and no C/D. I didn't experience this, but did get one with a visual nick, that translated into a tick on the A side in the first track. Total bummer. Totally amazing album regardless! Also, anyone else notice this record sounding very flat tonally? I had to crank the treble in a way I don't normally... on anything else. Lastly, do you dudes listen to your records or just talk about variants endlessly? Sure looks that way, if you read this thread from the beginning! Not bashing, but seems odd. omik11303 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcha Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 http://hellomerch.com/collections/caspian/products/hymn-for-the-greatest-generation-ep Nice! I wonder when they slipped that one in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone mentioned getting two a/b discs a page or two back... It's also a labeling/packaging error, not a mispress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanishinghouse Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I know this might be too soon for some folks but if anybody has a 180gram black they would like to sell. Please HMU! Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means you live somewhere near Lawrence? Love that town, just wish it were elsewhere. Sorry you aren't making the show. They were amazing when I saw them here in Brooklyn.

Not bashing, but seems odd. we put the collective in well, collective. not too terribly odd. when you know the band you're ordering is going to play songs on a record you're buying, variant life happens. consider it the seasoned salt to a bland slab of meat.

They were amazing when I saw them here in Brooklyn. yeah. just northeast a bit. i think Lawrence is so amazing and totally blows the stereotypical "Kansas is crappy" statement clear out of the water. best record store in the area but my journeys there are less frequent. 3-4 times a month to 3-4 times a year.

Lived in Olathe, before moving to NY a bunch of years ago, so I know what you mean. Bought my OG copy of Mad Season at Love Garden when they were still in the old space. Great store though. I miss that place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I agree that my black copy sounds a bit flat. Was disappointed in that, but the side B scratch is really what bummed me out. Hello Merch seems to have emailed everyone about the double A/B issue so I addressed my scratch with them as my reply. So anyone that has the A/B issue should check their email if they haven't yet. I really wanted an album with the quality of Jakob's Solace which is perfect. BUT, D & D is so good no matter what that I can get past it. As far as the variant comment, I think everyone else took care of that, but go look at some of the variants for this album. They are fantastic & worthy of the discussion. Also, I'm rewatching Live at Larcom right now & I hate everyone seeing them. I love this bluray, but I need all of this in person. My Caspian appetite is currently insatiable.

GradedOnACurve Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 No, Boerum Hill. You? Damn. When you said home of Vinnie Barbarino I thought that meant you live in Bensonhurst too. That's where I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Not to derail the thread too much, but I just noticed that mystery song "Joy" from the Larcom setlist has been posted on YouTube. Big shocker, it's awesome. I wonder if they'll ever release it. Chubacca 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danyc Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Anyone have a favorite track yet? Mine is "Echo and Abyss". This album is a beast IMHO! Just can't get enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo72203 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 My favorite track is easily "Arcs of Command" but the big grower track for me without question "Run Dry". I love all the weird new things they did on this record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pemulis Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Anyone have a favorite track yet? Mine is "Echo and Abyss". This album is a beast IMHO! Just can't get enough. I can't get over the 4 song section of Rioseco -> Arcs of Command -> Echo and Abyss -> Run Dry. I keep repeating that section over and over. All of the emotions, great song writing etc. Unlike most on here, I'm not in love with the closer. I mean, still think its great though.

Eliminator Jr. Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I think the title track might be the single best thing they did so far. (and yes, I am familiar with Sycamore, thank you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love all the weird new things they did on this record. Pretty much this for me. Except I loved Run Dry from the start. Arcs though is just so overwhelmingly insane.
