lungfutang Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Thinking about just cancelling my order at this point... Looks like the Brooklyn Vegan / Hard Times variant has been pushed to 8/5 now 😑 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Sooooooo...silly me...realized after checking my emails and DW account...that I was not able to order any of the DW variants (1st press) nor the Converge exclusive. So. If anyone has regrets or additional copies willing to sell or trade...hit me up. Looks like I only ordered the Revolver exclusive.

Curious to hear what your biggest hangups may be with the record, or maybe how it deviated from what you expected. I think it definitely could’ve benefited from having its own project name. (Worse yet, on that front, is that Spotify tries to straight up scrobble the album as Converge.) It’s an enjoyable listen but I haven’t found myself looping it for weeks or months on end like a proper Converge LP when it drops. It’s just going to be a more situational listen for me, I suppose. I’m in a specific mood when I want to throw on Converge, and Bannon’s vocals scratch the proper itch in my monkey brain when I need that fix. To have that diluted – maybe not an accurate descriptor; possibly blended – inside of a more theatric, moody atmosphere… it’s cool. It’s fresh. It’s fun. But I don’t entirely know where it fits into my musical appetite and I suspect that’s why I’m not obsessed with it. no.one and alwaysopenmouth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deer Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I don't like commenting negative things, but it's not really Converge to me. I definitely agree with the above that it would have benefited by having a different name. It doesn't feel like the same band. Songs are soft and wishy-washy, many are too repetitive (Failure Forever a big example to me, I can't stand the cloying melody on it). I dunno. I don't like it, as someone who has been listening to Converge for a long time, and who considered them my favorite band for over a decade now. I always thought Chelsea Wolfe made (subjectively) uninteresting music and that sort of writing style leaked into this album big-time. Some people like that, I don't. WYW and Blood From The Soul already wore me thin with feeling either way too long-winded and soft to me (former) or phoned in (latter)... at least the Umbra Vitae LP was good. I did pre-order it the moment it was announced but ended up cancelling the pre-order (which I don't enjoy doing) because I couldn't see myself doing anything else except selling it when I got it. A big shame, to me, and certainly not expecting anytime soon to get new harsh Converge material. Oh well! I won't go on more because I hate being negative about independent non-radio-fodder music. I can tell the project has passion, but it just does not sit well with me. Should've not been billed as Converge. brandy, 1876records and xabsolutefuturex 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronchitis Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I always assumed this project was more known just as Blood Moon and not Converge ft. Chelsea Wolfe. I haven’t really thought of this album as a Converge album but that is probably just me. I would be far more into it if Chelsea Wolfe wasn’t involved. Do not like her at all these days. xabsolutefuturex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the one I ordered. I haven't listened to this album front to back more than twice since it came out cause I was waiting for the vinyl. Was hoping the variant was going to be dope at least if I didn't enjoy it. Lot riding on this music ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I actually think it turned out better than the mock-up but I also have a bias against splatters these days. I dig how subtle that purple creeps in around the label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
