Unbelievable. Absolute joke that companies send the downloads in such a compressed file. Luckily I bought the cd as well. I ordered red from MerchDirect and got the FLAC Downlod email too, also got CD as well for Newbury for the autographed lyric sheet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nubbinsbuddy Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Yea this download from merchnow is no good.

verb1999 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Just a heads up to anyone who ordered from http://normajean.merchdirect.com/ they've now posted an autographed bundle as of a week ago or so (I think), which was the same bundle I already ordered. I emailed them & asked them to switch mine over to the autograph, or to cancel so I could re-order it myself, which they did. In case anyone else is interested in doing that.

hallowken78 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I decided to not wait for the vinyl due to the delay and downloaded the mp3 - sounded pretty alright in my car, but I'm partially deaf in one ear so maybe I just can't tell that the quality was that poor. Polar Similar may be the best thing that Norma Jean has ever recorded. It really is that good. I love the feeling you get when you're listening to an album for the 1st time and you instantly realize that it is so great you'll wind up hearing it a few hundred more times in your lifetime...

O' God was the album that made me fall in love with heavy music, so it'll forever be my favorite of theirs. But Polar Similar is easily some of their best songwriting, and the execution is fucking phenomenal. Forever and always my favorite heavy band.

I wonder if its just the first 100 orders of that bundle or something also no substitutions on the shirt which is a bummer because it's the weakest design.

Mattiktpq Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) So I had waited to listen to anything off Polar Similar until it was released and I got my download of the entire album. This is 100% Album of the Year for me. I've always loved Norma Jean. I really dug deep into them when Redeemer was released. Picked it up from Walmart and it sat in my cd player for about 6 months. Fast forward to Wrongdoers, man that album was to me one of the heaviest albums I've ever heard. (Not trying to overshadow Meridional, its a amazing album too) Wrongdoers just struck a chord with me and it still sticks with me. I never thought they could top that. Then the chaos that is Polar Similar was unleashed. I can't believe I ever thought that they couldn't outdo Wrongdoers. I know, I'm an idiot. They not only outdid it, they complete took it to a new level but still stayed true to the Norma Jean sound. From Cory's hellish screams to his angelic singing, to the riffs and guitar tone, the driving bass, and the pounding drum patterns. This album has skyrocketed to the top of my all time favorite album. I haven't stopped listening to it yet, don't know if I ever will. Good job boys, another killer album.

Derek™ Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Since they removed down voting I know feel safe to say this. This album was absolutely fucking horrible, the lyrics were good but the musicianship and pace were atrocious. They expect us to care about three tracks that are in it for barely 2 minutes and then disappear? There was no emotion in why I should care for these songs I heard for all of 6 minutes. I feel like every scene or indie person ate this up because it was hip. ill see you all at the guillotine later. rooks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
