SunsetDramaKing17 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I don't know if it's just because it's a public announcement (pertaining to vehicles / transportation) that loops, or if there's more to it... but I like it. It's a lot less tiresome and forced than the "drug deal" on Sunbather. It def gives it an awesome vibe. It's a traffic report on the GW bridge in NY. And God I think this album is fantastic. Can't wait for the vinyl to arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanellos Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Album is up on Spotify, Itunes ect. Sounds way better than the npr stream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hzielaskowski Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Happy I didn't preorder. This album is not worth the money they ask for it. As much I like "Sunbather" and it's approachability, "New Bermuda" is too much for me. Now it is truly black metal for Pitchfork readers. The vocals taken upfront sound just funny, the guitar is rediculous. Generally the production is too clear and too wide. It fits the softy parts but ruins the fast parts for me. And let's be honest the tracks are not that catchy as those from "Sunbather" which were class of it's own. Now everyone read echos of The Cure, Deftones, MBV. Why? Cause you heard it before. The bar was set high, very high. This is just average, decent album, 5/10. Not enough to pull the trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eliminator Jr. Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Right, there was a Cure-riff in there somewhere.. that was insanely good. Next morning, next listen. I'll blast this at work today and see how it grows on me. There's like three parts across the whole album I can remember vividly today, and they all rule. note to self: Don't blast a highly anticipated new album right after listening to Lack Long After and being depressed like shit because of it. But I also take my "first listen" experience pretty seriously, for what it's worth. I am so with you on this. It's more of a 'first date'-experience for me. I even put my best pair of black jeans on (no joke). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I even put my best pair of black jeans on (no joke). There can be no other way. I'm convinced that "every" song – yes, all 5 of them – undeniably brings something fresh and memorable to the table. I personally can't get over how gorgeous those instrumental jams are; they teeter on the edge of post-rock and I love it. The flow of each song also makes me think that they were written with live shows in mind (more than ever), too. Seriously, these are all going to be insane to see performed in person. I'm doing everything in my power to pace myself with it at the moment, 'cause the replay value is there in spades, personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcllnsn Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I ordered one of these. Given that it was revealed that some of the US variants didn't come with the deluxe sleeve but were listed as such, do you guys reckon that this will be the same? The sleeve looks incredible, and I want to make sure I get a copy. http://sargenthouse.awesomedistro.com/products/559476-deafheaven-new-bermuda-cd-lp-preorder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have ordered it too for the packaging, but have also ordered the EU Green one. Will be interesting to see which one sounds better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing looks like a damn painting, I'm looking forward to get it in the post. That green looks sweet too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockPuppetz Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Wait I'm confused, why do people think they won't get the deluxe jacket??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo72203 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 It def gives it an awesome vibe. It's a traffic report on the GW bridge in NY. And God I think this album is fantastic. Can't wait for the vinyl to arrive. I think it fits perfectly with what George was talking about in regards to the mundane routine of living a regular adult life. I like it.

jcllnsn Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Wait I'm confused, why do people think they won't get the deluxe jacket??? IIRC there was some confusion much earlier in the thread (in the teens I think in terms of page number) as to which variants actually came with the fancy sleeve, where they were pressed, etc. I can't really remember the outcome.

fugazi Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 The EU distro copy and the EU pink and green one (already have those) are without the "fancy" cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 So I'm confused. Have ALL of these started shipping without notice or just the UK ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetrackt Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I feel like we're all being had and ALL variants are going to have the same sleeve. Every description looks the same and says blah blah embossed and sculptural. WHere does it say otherwise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's the same in the US, but in the UK most stores (including the official Deafheaven ones) describe a deluxe and a standard sleeve. People pooping their pants about a bumpy cover? Oh yeah, VC. To be fair, it does look incredible. http://boards.vinylcollective.com/topic/114752-deafheaven-new-bermuda/?p=2361444 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
