Michaelgetsboss Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Got mine, it’s alright I guess, the obi strips are huge and ugly, idk why they didn’t just do normal size ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually if they obi strips are clunky or are just inconvenient, I trash em. Plan to do that here.

Yup you’re right and they take up like half the album art too. Why?? Also weren’t they originally supposed to be actual obi strips? Or am I remembering wrong..it’s been so long since I ordered these.

dantheriver Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 With the history of this band’s album art being plastered with marketing you’re all lucky those are fold over cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was probably one of my first screamo / abrasive listens, if you don't count moments of Thrice's earlier stuff. I played the shit out of it in my youth, and I'm with you – it'd be a fun nostalgia listen at best, but DTGL & LITSOS just aged so much better. I haven't even listened to TOCS, digitally, in ages... but I'm sure I'll be hyper-focused on those compressed cymbals the next time I may. This is interesting! I actually like TOCS a lot more then DLGL. I think its a very unique blend of "screamo"/hardcore and pop music. DLGL to me just sounded like they were trying to sound like norma jean. Its a solid album for sure, but it just doesnt slap me with originality like TOCS does. But I can also see how people would feel the opposite. Also its a bummer that this pressing is not great sounding, the 2012 pressing of TOCS is one of my best sounding records, it really sounds fantastic imo. brandy and gazzo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
