PO: Titus Andronicus - A Productive Cough


Recommended Posts

New album via Merge with a limited “Peak” gray pressing with a 7” of (I’m) Like a Rolling Stone across both sides (what?).  

 

I’m gonna have to sit with the new single a bit before I bite. I usually ride for them, but the song doesn’t really go anywhere for me and sounds kind of like a Delta Spirit demo or something. I feel like I should like this direction, but might need to hear a bit more.

Love Delta Spirit and Titus. And this sounds nothing like Delta. That said, this song is awesome.

Apparently cause the song is over 9 minuets half of it's on the a side and the other half is on the b side. Why anyone would want that when the have the song in fuck on the vinyl lp is only known by the label operater

It's really dumb but they did it before with this 7" https://www.discogs.com/Titus-Andronicus-Four-Score-And-Seven/release/2155224

Did that video remind anyone else of this? Having said that, I love Titus so I'll need to get this. Not sure if I need to pre-order today? Really holding out for Bull Moose. The song isn't terrible, but if the rest of the album is going to be like this, we're in for a weird one. 7 tracks for $26 seems like a bit much in my opinion.

I just rewatched that movie 2 nights ago. It's truly one of the funniest movies ever made.

Saw the LP tracklist and that song on the 7" isn't on the LP so there's that. I'm guessing the albums like 55 min long. The single reminded me of songs like A Pot in Which to Piss and Richard II.

That’s weird, cause it’s track 5 on the pictures of the CD and the bandcamp tracklist.

I know... I was hoping it'd be track 4 when i went back and looked so the flow could still work somewhat. Im guessing Crass Tattoo isn't a long song so swapping them wouldn't work. Hoping it'll sound good as a closer after spinning the LP.

The track times are on the Merge website. Minus "Like a Rolling Stone," the album is about 38 minutes. Side 1 is 20:14 and Side 2 is 17:22.

So does that mean the standard vinyl won't have the 7" or The Bob Dylan cover on the record? And it's exclusive to the limited?

It sounds like the standard LP comes with a download with all 7 songs. But "Peak Version" is the only way to get the the extra song on vinyl (on the 7" single). Also, it's not a Dylan cover.

Pitchfork says it is (https://pitchfork.com/news/titus-andronicus-announce-new-album-a-productive-cough-share-new-song-listen/) but I agree, I think that’s wrong.

It's cheaper from Merge with their free US shipping, but here's the BM link: http://www.bullmoose.com/p/26718342/titus-andronicus-a-productive-cough-indie-exclusive-blue-gray-swirl-vinyl-w-7
