iwokeinrelief Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Ordered! Saw him playing solo last year and he played a couple of the new tracks, both were really great so looking forward to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Sweet! I really enjoyed Phoenix and the cover looks very smart. Hopefully it'd as good musically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyEnemy Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Dope. Hopefully this means he’s touring, with a full band, sometime this year. Really want the BSM splatter, but $52 😖 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve traveled states to see PTL in the past, but they’re not doing a local show, and I’m not sure I wanna drive 90 minutes without Oceanator opening. Frrrrrt.

Alan P Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Really love this "surprise release." No singles or anything like that, just a few hour heads up that it was dropping at midnight. And in this age where vinyl production takes forever, I greatly prefer artists and labels waiting until they have the physical product in hand to begin sales, rather than having a pre-order like "vinyl ships in 2023." I ordered the navy and white vinyl from Bandcamp, and have listened to the album through twice--enjoying it, but I need to dig into the lyrics.

anchorclose Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 This is an easy preorder for me. Bazan can do no wrong. Hoping to catch one of the full-band live dates somethingvinyl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMatrix Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Ive listened to it a couple times and its a little too slow. Alot of the songs start to blend together into one long song about his childhood. I will have to give it some time and see if it grows on me a little more rhythmgtr5 and copelandkid 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throwgncpr Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 My initial reaction is the same. Phoenix was amazing, but I admit that all of David's albums are big growers for me. I'm hoping this hits a lot harder after a few more listens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kind of the opposite in that most of his albums are super immediate for me. This one may be a grower, we'll see. I had my expectations set on something very similar to Phoenix, so that could be coloring my reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix definitely colored my reaction. I love that album so much; everything about it is perfect. I assumed that he would connect it thematically, but probably do something different in terms of production and vibe. My assumptions were largely correct, but like I said, we'll see how this sits after more listens. Regardless, I expect the third entry to be different than both Phoenix and Havasu.

JohnMatrix Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I just wish there were a few more up tempo tracks like First Drum Set. That song is great. The rest sound very sleepy whoa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linksisfromcanada Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I was the last one to order the test press edition and ended up with 1/50. That's my second #1 from the Polyvinyl test press variants, Anna Burch being the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
