All my anxiety about a cancellation can be laid to rest finally. Pretty sure everyone whose order was getting canceled was notified at the same time that the one guy was going on his rampage about how life isn't fair and all that.

(Rather than shipping notif and flipper stuff) I'm pretty pumped on it but don't hear any gamechanging material first pass... I wouldn't say it's trying to set the bar for anything but rather trying to remind the world that a 90s alt rock worship album can still be amazing in 2016 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip fears allayed 3. I like that they brought riffs from DYTC and GoE into some tracks for some continuity 4. Dead Are Dumb melted me, but that Hum tribute track was the one I remember most. The Nirvana was aight, too 5. Don't remember one track being a yawner or gritted teeth; a real sigh of relief for how much coin risk went on this one without hearing it first - also Matt's heroic daredevil skills snagging a VF!! Thanks brother Cant wait to listen again. Somebody wrote ToT is a 'gamechanger' - I'd like to hear more on that?? (Rather than shipping notif and flipper stuff) I'm pretty pumped on it but don't hear any gamechanging material first pass... 1. OH YUP! 2. He done good. 3. (Chord) Progression. 4. Aight? You meant head banging. 5. You know I got you, brother! It seriously got better and better with every listen for me. It evolved after about a week of listening. It's a grower, while still being a shower. But wait until you have it for a while, and it really starts to blossom. You get a little bit more with every listen. I'm stoked for it to open up for you. I wouldn't say it's 'gamechanging' (cause that's an incredibly bold statement), but it's AOTY material for me for sure. We'll see where it lands at the end of the year, but I have 0 complaints. It definitely pays tribute / homage to the greats though, without sacrificing their own sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poweredbytrust Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 just picked up my orange krush /150. It does NOT come in a gatefold cover, but a glossy single pocket sleeve. It also doesn't have the poster, but a cool insert. Do the non-deluxe variants of the US press come in the gatefold cover? I have a standard black on the way as well and would like to see that in a nice gatefold. Little bummed the orange krush is only a single sleeve. The color is basically a translucent orange. It's fine though and the record sounds really good upon first listen. Picklepussformayor, mesi and Mars 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Cloudy sky variant is not gatefold either. Pretty sure only the deluxe is because it is 2-disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NapalmBrain Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I honestly wasn't expecting a gatefold at that price point for the standard editions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is out for delivery, so maybe yours will be there today too and tracking will suddenly update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poweredbytrust Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 1 hour ago, NapalmBrain said: I honestly wasn't expecting a gatefold at that price point for the standard editions I'm not complaining either. It's a decent packaging job and I like the glossy finish. 23€ isn't so super cheap and I've seen cooler/more elaborate packaging for less, but it's alright for a rare variant. At the end of the day it's an awesome record, I think "Our Plague" is my fav off of it so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rough Trade's release date is 13/5/16 which is next Friday. Those in the UK will very likely have their copies on Thursday or Friday. RT do not send dispatched messages. Someone higher up the page has picked their copy up from GH, so those are likely to be on their way soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to favor instrumental synth music, but almost always asks who the artist is whenever I'm playing dreamgaze stuff. Listened again today... very happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it'ss annoying that it has to go through the main distro center. Record looks awesome, despite the picture disc being kinda shitty (warped, flimsy, hard to see the grooves). My TT decided to take a shit at 33 (plays too slow) so can't play the album until I fix it later. The bonus tracks sound awesome, but don't fit the album feel much, so I can see why they left them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I uploaded the album in 320, including the bonus tracks. You know where to find it (since I'm not allowed to link it). The 320kbps is 140mb. I can upload the FLAC later tonight. The bonus tracks are good. Can see why they are b-sides since they don't fit with the rest, but they're still great.
