sugareggs Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Much better than Interiors. Played it through twice in a row. The drumming has been taken up a notch, they sound like they’ve hit their stride . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drumming has been taken up a notch, they sound like they’ve hit their stride . Agreed. Was my exact thoughts - the drumming and drum mix was so much better this album. They sound HUGE. There was one song though where the drum timing sounds super off. Like everything else is straight 4/4 time in the song yet the drums almost have a swing feel, it’s super weird and kinda distracting. Am I the only one who noticed that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewberinger Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Yeah I got that from hard times which is just essentially the same as revolver and BV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatrocket8 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Epitaph just posted this on Facebook. 📣 ANNOUNCEMENT: A message from Quicksand - "Unfortunately, due to shipping and manufacturing delays most vinyl copies of Distant Populations won’t be available until later this year. To make up for it, we are including an exclusive slipmat with all vinyl pre-orders, free of charge. We apologize and will keep you posted on ship dates as we get more information. Thankfully, vinyl will be available in-stores in Europe and the UK on September 24th, as planned. We will also be selling an exclusive pink variant on our North American tour, starting next week. We appreciate your patience and understanding. Thanks for the continued support!🙏" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantheriver Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I don’t remember what it looked like before but something didn’t pan out with that hard times/whatever other stores variant. They sent an email asking to reply if you didn’t want the changed variant. Still looks fine to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyacrash Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 can anyone else post a pic of their indie variant (purple cloudy effect)? I picked mine up this weekend, and it looks completely different than the pic on the discogs page. Discogs Pic: My copy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchard Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Well, your copy certainly has more of a purple cloudy effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSHINOx Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 That looks more like the splatter variant on the band's webstore. mitchard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 There honestly seems to be never ending variations of this album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justinadamk Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 My indie copy from Zia is what discogs looks like. I thought it was supposed to look more like your image, but am quite happy with the cloudy effect instead of splatter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I ordered what I thought was a black copy off Merchbar and it turned out to be the band's tour-exclusive pink variant. No idea how that ended up there, but I was happy to get it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroNowhere Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Still waiting, delayed because we got a foot of snow today. Maybe tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xchemicalx Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Still waiting on my webstore splatter variant. I’ve seen some violet/blue/yellow with splatter but I’m not sure if that’s the quicksand web store splatter or not (the mock up looks very different, but they all seem to have come out very differently). Has anyone received the quicksand we store “splatter”? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xchemicalx Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Finally got my copy. Barcode sticker says it’s the A side/B side tricolor splatter. Opened it to find out it’s actually the purple cloudy. Pretty frustrated with the release all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
