MCDELTAT Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Yeah only listened to this album once while at work so can't give a strong opinion but that was my thought as well like "wait this is another new direction". One second it's heavy, then it's spoken word, then it's Silent Planet.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanSmithers Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) It definitely is a new direction, but I kind of like it... Edited October 21, 2019 by RyanSmithers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V3XED Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 After a few listens I must say I am loving this album through and through. I really enjoyed Transit Blues but it was hard to listen to it from start to end because it had a very homogeneous sound. This to me is just a much more fun listen and really highlights all the different aspects of what they do well. Is it a little disjointed? Maybe, but whats so bad about that? Doesn't bother me in the slightest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N8TRU Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Another smack in the face to preorders coming today? It looks like the final day of the SS sale includes TDWP half price. Every variant is out of stock but we'll see what happens when SS makes their Facebook posts today. https://merchnow.com/catalogs/solid-state/onsale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have saved like $30 on this and the NJ release. That's like 1.5 records elsewhere. I get doing sales 6+ months down the line, but on records that haven't even shipped yet?

My friend and I combined our order to save on shipping but he's requested to cancel it and we're reordering. There's less than 50 in stock for each variant.

Dumb indeed, but if they want to run a sale I guess that is their prerogative. Rather than do the cancel/re-order gymnastics I just picked up an extra copy along with a few other things I had been eyeing. Going to make it into a holiday gift for a friend.

No This Is Patrick Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 They always do a Halloween event sale, it was weird with this and Norma Jean though, because they were already both sold out. Also, kinda cool, The Act was apparently #3 on the Billboard vinyl charts last week... although, who knows if they even exist...

drawcody Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 I cancelled my order for one of the pressings and reordered two variants from SS for the same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N8TRU Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 SHOCKING. I GOT THE WRONG VARIANT FROM MERCHNOW. WHO KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN FOR THE HUNDREDTH TIME? Was it worth saving $10? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My email receipt says I ordered "The Blinding Light (Neon Orange)" but the mockup is clearly Red/Black. Given there's two orange variants I wouldn't be surprised if they open these up to verify and ship the orange one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And funily enough, the "Lower ring" variant which mocked up like a white inside orange actually turned out to be like yellow inside red and matches the art perfectly. So glad I didn't order that one..... :') MCDELTAT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
