mmhmm Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I remember this album being a pretty divisive one among Mae fans at the time. Some of their best work on Singularity for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exileinoblivion Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Good I will use this preorder to grab destination as I sold my last variant of that about a year ago but would love to always one at least 1 copy of this . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beta114 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Spartan Records is terrible when it comes to combining shipping. Each record added to your cart incurs a $4 charge. Infuriating if you want more than one record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exileinoblivion Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Yep I stay away from that label with the exception of Mae for those reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the only two items from his label he's flipping. Bring out the pitchforks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumbo72203 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 i guess i'm conflicted - John has been good to me in the past, but also indifferent when some Man Mountain albums showed up covered in sand from the printing process for some of my friends. Flipping your own records is weird. Very weird. However, i understand people need to eat..... and it is only a couple records. I'm inclined to give it a pass. Anyway, I've explored this band a little bit because a girl i used to know was really into them, but I don't know much. Where should I start?

I will say I've had nothing but good experiences with Spartan and I'm glad they're pressing Mae albums. i mean i imagine there are only two being flipped because there aren't many more than two Spartan releases worth flipping lol. and of course there's only one copy of each up at a time b/c supply/demand. i'm ultimately not trying to suggest this guy is flipping a bunch of his stock, or even personally assuming it. but the fact is it's totally something you could infer from the situation. it kinda looks "shady" and ppl in the vinyl world of all niche hobbies definitely have a BS detector like few others haha. tl;dr i get that running a label is a tough business but at least have the respect for your customer base to flip em under a screenname lol. mmhmm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowBearToe Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Super excited this is finally getting pressed! I remember seeing them live a couple months before this album came out and they opened the show with a song off of Singularity and my wife and I weren't even sure if we were seeing the right band haha different from The Everglow, but still so good. mmhmm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From tracks 1 to 15, no skipping. Bonus points for following with lyrics. It's a concept/story album.

SpazzyMcGee Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Looking forward to this one, Singularity was the first Mae album that I got to experience on the release day. Always got to start it off with Last Transmission though, gotta love gap tracks.

No This Is Patrick Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 1 hour ago, SpazzyMcGee said: Care to share? Very cool, never heard that before Basically, the whole thing is a love story of a couple. How it started, the ups and downs of life, and just being there for each other. The songs are still listenable separately but they flow together very well back to back to back. Plus the lyric booklet and it's illustrations. And the "Prologue" and "Epilogue" remind me of those book and cassette stories I had as a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
