toomanyrecords Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 12,000 copies?! Holy fuck. I'll buy it at Amoeba cause I get a perma-$5 off. Also now that I closer scrutinize what the box set comes with, since IDGAF about CDs, it doesn't seem worth the buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May just try to pick up the indie exclusive Edit: word Edited November 15, 2016 by tylerb1800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SE7EN Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I'm with the 'this set is pretty steep' people... Especially with that many copies available. Think I'll sit on the fence until a bit further down the line. I am enjoying the new track though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ntslash Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 This album is phenomenal. The indie clear variant sounds outstanding, especially the bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouTwo Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I'm really liking this! Also 100% agree about it being a finger print magnet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkeyelids Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 First listen I was a little bit hesitant about the direction of it all, but just finished my second listen and it somehow it all clicked. Really fantastic album. Also find that this record is mastered extremely well, the bass is so powerful but so clear. I got a free A2 mirror poster with my copy too, so excited to get that all framed up as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fugazi Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Could've also counted as a new Jamie solo album but fuck it, this is great. 10x better than Coexist. Obviously not as good as the self-titled but I guess that's self-explanatory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toomanyrecords Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I listened last night. I mean, it's good, but I don't get why everyone is nutting. Their self titled is still by far the best. On Hold was the best song on the album, unfortunately, and the rest was enjoyable but a bit poppier than I expected (and not in the interesting Jamie XX poppy way, but more radio pop) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
januarytwenty Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) Anyone preorder this from their site? I did a couple months ago and still haven't gotten shipping notification =/ Also, is the mobile site messing up for anyone? It wouldn't let me post from my phone a couple of days ago. Now it's working again. Edited January 15, 2017 by januarytwenty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is on par with their first album; the shift in sound and tone reminds me of when m83 came out with Saturdays = Youth. Favorite tracks so far: replica, i dare you, dangerous, test me Edited January 15, 2017 by brillwill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I don't think its better than In Colour, but its a very good xx album. Way better than Coexist. I need more time to see how it stacks up against s/t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
