SaulManella Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Maybe they are aware of the critism of Erase Me and will go back to their roots, even slightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewberinger Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Maybe a hot take but Erase Me isn’t a bad record by any means - it’s not as good as what the band has put out over the course of their career but the back half of that record rips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadDonut Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Oh I don't think it's a bad album at all. Some really cool stuff on that record. Just vastly different than anything previous. A few cheesy moments but a good record to listen to casually I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Sink With You", "No Frame" and "I Gave Up" are some of UO's best songs. Not anything like the amazing heavy stuff I'm used to from them. But still awesome in their own vein.

So true. Which is so rare nowadays. Normally bands come out of the gates with their best stuff and then filler toward the end with MAYBE a decent closer.

MCDELTAT Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) Forgot about the stream last night, decided to watch it today. As I predicted many pages ago, not an encrypted stream, was live, and then just transcoded and stored on Vimeo. Managed to get a download with a Python library https://github.com/MCDELTAT/vimeo-download EDIT: UGGH. Doesn't seem like they invested that much in the livestreaming side of things. At the beginning you see they were running the stream on an iMac with OBS. At the beginning of Track 3 "There Could Be Nothing After This" you can literally see the the CPU is being pegged and isn't able to keep up with real-time transcoding. The latency is pretty bad at that segment and a few others. Would have been much better on a PC using a GPU and NVENC since they have so many frames that are fast moving, with lots of contract, basically the definition of what breaks most CPU encoders. Still looks pretty good though. EDIT2: Yeah Track 7 "Casting Such a Thin Shadow" is perhaps even better example of this. There has to be 2-3 seconds of audio delay there. Watch at like 40:44 with Aaron's drum parts. Edited July 25, 2020 by MCDELTAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCDELTAT Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Confirmed that this is made to order. Got an email saying that they are taking down all merch and vinyl down at 11:59PM EST on Wednesday. Wonder if they'll inflate the order a bit to get a whole number. Either way hopefully this will stave flipping on this one. Course nothing stopped that from destroying the Last of Us boxset that was also made to order. drawcody 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illuminographer Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Anyone else notice the Disambiguation / Erase Me logo teaser at the end of the They're Only Chasing Safety transmission? Hoping they perform those next! A Disambiguation repress would be great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyckelJay Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 No update on a shipping date for vinyl? It's been about 12 weeks and haven't heard any update. Anybody else heard anything yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cautionthieves Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I'd expect they'd have an update within the next two weeks. The presale went up the first week of July, so they're still within that timeframe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cautionthieves Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Also, just checked the Observatory site and now it's showing the Disambiguation/Erase Me covers on the landing page. https://underoathobservatory.com/ N8TRU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their latest album is still readily available. Do we need a vinyl repress? Disambiguation does, but then do just stick in on the side and not theme the vinyl similarly?
