Personally I think the record sounds close to, if not absolutely perfect. I’m a drummer and I’m sort of nit picky sometimes. The snare sound is killer. On another note, I do have a thing for packaging and artwork. I can’t wait to see the back and inside the gatefold. The cover is great. I really like how they stuck with the minimal art approach and have the running time on there. Or at least have stuck with that sort of style since You’d prefer..I like when bands have a style and stay with it. It drove me crazy when Hot Water Music stopped using Sinclair for their cover art on some of their newer releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before shipping, $35 for vinyl. $10 for the CD as well as a download I’ve never hesitated less on blindly buying a record in my life. Would have paid double. aopps42 and danbass 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This album, obviously, fucking rules. An easy “fuck you” to anyone who tried to make a “hum record” in the last 20 years. Haha I remember them playing a new song but didn't remember what it sounded like. Good memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a drummer and I’m sort of nit picky sometimes. The snare sound is killer. Agree. I think the drum mix is stellar (the entire mix is amazing). I'm friends with the drum maker of the kit that Bryan uses now (I also play a J-M snare), and heard some earlier ideas/mixes of these songs a while back. Bryan's combination of pummeling force and restrained playing style is perfect and really helps carry these songs. I'm so glad this album is finally out there. On another note, I hope that once this initial press via Polyvinyl is done that Matt releases it through Earth Analog and does a version with a Jay Ryan print. I need to keep that series going.

I know. I didn't mean to infer that Polyvinyl had pressed it. I meant that distribution of the first press. I believe Matt plans to distribute in the future.

ethanpricington Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) Every time I hear these bands like HUM, ETID, etc who are "older" yet they still have their same general heavy sound, it make me think about all the stupid bands who feel like just because they've "matured" that they no longer can make heavy music. That's the most moronic statement ever. At what point did heavier music get a "youth only" stigma? Or when people say - "Oh I used to listen to that stuff in high school, but now I don't like it." I get it, tastes evolve. There's a lot of more mellow music I wouldn't have touched back when I was 16-18 years old, but that doesn't mean for one second that I can't turn on something heavy and jam the fuck out now. And I hope that will always be the case. *steps off soapbox* Edited June 24, 2020 by ethanpricington sabukweli, Plarocks and bubb4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiscodeman Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I'll admit I never actually listened to this band before, but I remember the SRC-reissue thread of YPAA being a hot topic right around the time when I first joined VC. I saw the article about this release on Stereogum on Tuesday and "surprise-release first album in 22 years" piqued my interest so I gave it listen and wow. Loved it. Consider me a new fan. I also listened to YPAA for the first time today and liked that too. I'll def get to their other releases at some point as well.

I wouldn't be into a huge amount of music that I'm into if it weren't for that silly show. Exactly. It was exposing a wider, definitely younger and unaware audience to 120 Minutes types bands. I totally didn’t start paying more attention to that side of the underground before seeing that stuff on B&B. It was just post-Nirvana Radio alt rock(which is how I became a Hum fan. Stars was in heavy rotation at our local station) and post-Green Day punk, in my world. Seaweed, Archers Of Loaf, Hum, Sausage, Built To Spill, Pizzicatto Five, Ween, Helium. Then you have the other end with metal bands I had never heard before, blowing my young mind(Death, Cannibal, Mercyful, Napalm Death). Great time to be a child glued to a TV. jeromium and bear801 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
