bjorn Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Yeah, that new single is quirky. I don't hate it though, at least it's unexpected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely doesn't fit on his last solo album but equally is a far call from SP. Theres 2/3 aspects alone that has never been used on a SP song before and it's so jarring to what you expect of them/him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjorn Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I've been hoping for something more like the bonus tracks from Zeitgeist, Ma Belle and Stellar in particular. I felt those had some of that classic SP magic. Nothing I've heard so far from this reunion feels like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsNJazz Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 The first three tracks were ok but after that it was kind of generic. Doubt I will listen to it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a classic album in those recordings. Pomp and Circumstance should've never seen the light if day. God And Country was a good song that was butchered in the final version chosen that for the album. I've heard a killer acoustic version of that song. The subsequent Zeitgeist tours slayed.

timsimmons Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I've really hated Billy's production choices for the past 20 years. Maybe its pro-tools, but everything seems loud and bright. No grit. Deathbyart, highfives, kannibal and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beags Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 This album is OK (only had 2 playthroughs), very much in line with what Billy was doing with Oceania and MtaE. If anything, based on early listens i probably put MtaE slightly ahead of this and Oceania. If you thought that the inclusion of Chamberlain and Iha was going to reinstill the Gish/Siamese/Melon Collie sound then you're going to be bitterly disappointed. But most importantly, you probably need to accept the fact that bands change and evolve with age and they'll never sound like that again...

Is there any difference that can be seen from the outside, whether it is the normal variant or the GitD variant? Or is the GitD variant noticeably heavier due to the enclosed posters? Would be glad about an info ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timsimmons Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 His songwriting isn't what it used to be either. But to be fair, I guess it changed from album to album in 90's too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faaip de oiad Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I don't see why any singer/song writer would want too remain writing the same songs over and over their whole career. Prolly gets old. On that note, still waiting for my shipping confirmation on all variants of the "SAOSB" I ordered... That gitd variant would just be so awesome! 2 hours ago, nycmale said: Will do.

nycmale Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Just took some pics and will post on here now. There was no poster with the glow in the dark vinyl. Curious to see if other people received a poster with theirs, or even with a black vinyl. Maybe all GITD variants dont come with the poster, and some are with the black vinyl copies. I guess time will tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matchi Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) To be honest, I do not trust the number of pressings. In all variants, except for the Spotify LP, the initially communicated circulation numbers seem to be increased either retroactively (silver, gold) or in the case with the Black Friday Picture Disc, the circulation number on their website has been removed. If you ask the BF Team, they say there are 1400 copies of the Picture Disc. If you ask the distributor for the Picture Disc, he says that there are 4000 copies. If you ask again at the BF team, it says suddenly, there are 1400 copies only in the US and they do not know how many there are worldwide. That's a big fake.

The gold was 500 than 750. Now the picture disc number is removed. Who knows if the GITD is only 500 out of 5000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
