Do any of you have copies of "Everyone Into Position" by Oceansize? I'm just curious whether the 1st or 2nd press (180g) sounds better. Didn't wanna start a new thread, figured this was a good place. I know I have no say in what you do with your money but my advice is: Save it for a rainy day. Things are likely to get worse before they get better. If you can and want to spend money on music, you're better off supporting bands directly instead of plumping the wallets of greedy Discogs sellers as Derek said.

True, I wish I could buy directly from the label or band. But I'm betting these releases never see a repress for another 7 years at least. But to reinforce your point, Besides (poland) just put up the PO for their newest album, and it's stupid, stupid cheap. Like, $25 shipped to the USA. Go fucking get that. FFO: Spurv, Maybeshewill, Silent Whale. I think track 4, "Miners" is my favorite. Gloomy, moody post-rock with very tasteful keyboard/electronic and string accompaniment. https://besides.bandcamp.com/album/bystanders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omik11303 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 New Barrens album is phenomenal. First great post-rock release of the year. If you haven't heard it yet, fix that. Affenpuller, wisdom81 and N8TRU 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta admit, I thought you'd be all over it. Have to agree that Whale Fall was a nice surprise, though - I thought their last two releases were very average but the new one is huge. Caspian has had no staying power for me, sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was enough to revisit for sure. Just didn’t immediately grab me like those others. It kept reminding me of someone else. Maybe GIAA a bit?

mrewest Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Let me preface this by saying I think Vasudeva makes enjoyable jams. But they’re mostly a “throw on in the background casually” band for me. However, does it seem to anyone else that they literally just make the same exact album every couple years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Clearance >>> Life in Cycles. Admittedly I haven't listened to the new one yet, though. 2 hours ago, Gumbo72203 said: This is kind of how I feel.

Wildwood and Collapser are awesome, even the two tracks with vocals are fine, but everything else is really underdeveloped. Almost seems to me like they just threw a bunch of leftover riffs and ideas together and called it a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i feel that way about a lot of the tunes. 18 hours ago, mrewest said: Ok yes I think this is more accurate & probably why I didn’t love it as much as everyone else haha. Yeah "Versus" is definitely a B- album in my opinion. 2 good songs followed by meandering takes. This is what happens when you write albums over the computer and not in person, sadly. Everything up to that is gold, though. Maybe someday we'll get "Yes I Am" on vinyl. Also, i caved and bought "Frames" for $85. Free shipping, sealed... It helped abate the sadness for a little bit. I regret nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
