Youreyeah Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 Or the rec release, if there happens to be something special! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyperg1ant Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Just finished listening to the album and I think it's really good. But the only thing that is a bummer, is that they left this song out of the record: But I can see why they have done that. The song doesn't fit in the record as a whole. I hope they release this in a 7" single or EP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsNJazz Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Got a shipping confirmation and listened to the leak. It is very interesting at some points and a lot less heavy and more atmospheric. I like how they try something new on every track and I liked the experimental side of it, other than that I think it sounded like balance and composure. The leak is not great quality so I'm sure after I spin this a few times I'll like it a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantheriver Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 The leak I downloaded was listed as 320kbps and sounded fine. Album is real cool at times and occasionally gets a little too weird. Overall I'm into it. januarytwenty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappingtheyears Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I should have just waited a couple days to get this in the mail but I couldn't help but listen to the leak, and it sounded fine to me. There are one or two tracks I'm not crazy about but otherwise I'm really pleased with how this came out. The last few tracks really did it for me. It definitely still sounds like a Balance and Composure record, so I think people will end up liking this more than they thought they would based on the singles that were released. I thought it would be more of a grower but honestly I'm pretty into it after a couple listens. januarytwenty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royce Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Album is alright, It feels monotone. I like the experimentation. Defiantly a grower. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Han Solo Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I got my shipping notification last night too. I'm gonna try really hard to not listen to it until I have it in my hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get to jam a lot at work so we shall see if it grows on me in time, I like to go back to albums a ton. This record feels like it was made in a week honestly though. Lyrics are meh, music is cool but gets boring real fast since it all sounds the same. One of the songs I remember thinking was total crap, for a walk i think it was called.

hyperg1ant Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 The more I listen to this record, the more I like it. Also, is really weird to think they've evolved from this to LWM: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickydenim Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Listened to the leak and really not feeling it. I knew it would be along these lines and I like their more down-tempo atmospheric tracks on the previous albums but this really doesn't hold my attention. Love this band so will give it a few more listens but at this stage I'm glad I didn't blind buy like I usually do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futures Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 My copy is out for delivery this morning. Record timing, too. Just 2 days from label printed in CA to my doorstep in NJ. It's amazing what can be accomplished when a package goes thru the LA facility rather than Bell Gardens lol. Snaggle Von Swift 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saint Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Got mine today. I really dig it after a first listen. It's what I've been in the mood for lately. Lyrics and vocal melodies are improved in my opinion. Bailey is solid on drums as usual, although a few tracks sound like drum machines (I have no idea). Only downer is the guitar work. Not that they were ever brilliant, but this album lacks any character in that department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallowken78 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 My copy showed up today. Package got mangled in shipment and the jacket is in rough shape but at least the vinyl appears to be alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Also, is that Jon singing the falsetto parts in the first two songs? Will he be able to hit those notes live? His voice has never been great... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
