I guess I better listen to this to find out. Mars 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaoza Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 A really solid album from start to finish, and solid production too. Got the same vibes when I was listening to GoE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ntslash Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Anyone else have a ton of pops and clicks on their copy? Mine is the Pinwheel version limited to 100. Looks awesome and sounds good other than the pops. But when I turn it up loud enough, I barely notice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair I haven’t done shit but run an anti static brush over it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the topic, my record was supposed to be here today but is “Arriving late”. Very ready to jam this. Might break down and listen to it tomorrow before it gets here.

putol Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 goy my Evil Greed copy.. how stupid is that OBI strip.. was a pain to get the record out and the OBI strip back on top of the cover.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 The way the OBI strip is, it’s prone to get torn/ripped from the record sliding out of the side. Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a spin clean or whatever but rarely use it. I just pump a ton of money into the hobby and then don’t even take it seriously. I’m pretty weak. rooks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowty Dollaz Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Unbiased opinion from someone who has only listened to Nothing here and there: This album is good. I like it a bunch. The last half is better than the first. But it builds and I think that's the point. If you like this band, you'll enjoy this LP. If you've never listened to them, ever, this could be a good starting point. I don't regret the deluxe purchase, but the mylar bag is unnecessary to me. The booklet is fantastic! No squinting at a tiny printed insert. Overall, 8/10 package & 8/10 record. I would have been content with any decent sounding colorway, but the "black in half clear/ half blue with splatter /200" is very nice looking with almost no noise.

magickspells Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 My /100 pinwheel sounds flawless. I sort of expected the bag to have a ziplock seal instead of adhesive. I ended up taking the LP sleeve out and won't store it in the bag, to avoid wearing out the adhesive/possibly tearing. Excited for the live stream tonight, and I have some of the Tired Hands x Nothing beer coming this weekend as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Not that anyone asked, but I'll piggyback on Fowty's 8/10 vote. That seems super solid from early impressions, anyway. I feel like this is maybe their most mature record to date. Out of the gates, I get the impression that they had a very specific atmosphere and sound in mind, and I think they really nailed it. The record is super cohesive and I dig it. As much as I enjoy Tired of Tomorrow, there were moments of it – and Dance on the Blacktop – that did not [and still do not] jive with me all that much. Not enough to skip tracks, but there are definitely oh yeah, this song... eh moments. I get none of those this time around, which is great. And the production is right where I need it. A huge return to form from DOTB. I still think there are some intricacies and enjoyable moments to uncover with repeated listens, but I'm pretty damn pleased with it so far.

ethereal Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 7.5-8/10 is fair I think I still prefer GoE though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those spin cleans look sweet, but for old, dirty records I pick up, I just use dawn and water. It works well enough if the record is just slammed with dirt. Apparently my copy is out for delivery and is not arriving late. Pumped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The songs have a lot more oomph than they did on DOTB and I’m a big fan of that. I’ve stopped heckling Yip in recent years, especially after he proved himself with Caspian’s last album. I have no beef with his latest trend of production choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
