I like how the cover of 2 is similar but different enough from the first one. The cover itself feels like a sequel to the first.

Not at all! I love the cover for Happiness. Started the whole “a bunch of weird animals and robots gathered together” series for their albums haha.

I first heard “The Robot vs. The Heroin Battle of Vietnam” on purevolume and at the time I had never heard anything like it before. Went and bought the EP from Amazon right after. At the time it was the only thing they had out too. I couldn’t wait for DBM and I bought it the day it came out and listened to it non-stop. I credit that album with shaping my taste in music today. There were so many different elements and Craig/Mess’ vocals were like an angel and demon arguing back and forth on your shoulders. Sounds corny as hell to say but that’s what I always thought of. Okay that’s enough, sorry. DBM was the first record I had heard so when I went back to listen to the ep, I just couldn't get into it Group Buy Guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Group Buy Guy Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 @FiggyPud, I definitely had your high praise of DBM in mind when listening to it the other day. Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because...well...the "Deathstar" look. But I am a big fan of the newest as well, both variants of Artificial Selection are pretty neat.

Aych Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Jesus, I just now saw this and am very glad I got the original box set when I did. This whole collection of variants is a monstrosity. Also, my fav cover is also Happiness. Bright and vibrant, matches the sound of the record perfectly. Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exileinoblivion Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Mothership is the best record and self titled has the best cover . I mean its a deathstar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V3XED Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) Hmm man. To weigh in on this..... as a looooong time fan I would say: Best Cover: Happiness (its so fkn great) Runner Up: DTBM 2 (love the evolution between DTBM1 cover, and shows Mattais the artists progression during the years between) Worst Cover: Whatever I say Is Royal Ocean (sorry John! I also really dislike Artificial selections cover for some reason, close second.) Favorite Album: Self Titled (deathstar), Kurt's song writing and performance is second to none, these songs really resonate with me. Runner Up: Mothership (but DTBM is a very very close third, might even swap em if you asked me on a different day) Least Favorite Album: Artificial Selection?? (They really dont have a bad album, but A.S. has some weak tracks & production on Acceptance was meh IMO) Edited August 27, 2018 by V3XED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throughbeingcruel Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) Instant Gratification (particularly On the Run) is fucking perfect. Only a Tillian fan. I prefer Jonny Craig on the Emarosa records. Edited August 27, 2018 by throughbeingcruel amandasue1213 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friendly1 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Great. Now I gotta go back and listen to all their albums again, front to back. Thanks guys. Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonjoelreece Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Hey guys if anyone is willing to get rid of any of their old variants after this release to get some money back shoot me a message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His voice is great, he's just not a show off, again, like Jonny. I love both singers, but if I had to choose the music I prefer, I'm going team Bradley.

Buffbloom Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Also, I happen to be wearing an Emarosa shirt today. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just meant that the only Jonny Craig output I like is the first two Emarosa records. Their first record with Bradley is really good too but I never heard the more recent one.

[Banned User] Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 They should've thrown some crayons in with these covers ha. Ordered a couple of variants but I can't remember off the top of my head. Definitely got the 7" that I didn't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
