hallowken78 Posted June 27, 2023 Author Share Posted June 27, 2023 Looks like the indie exclusive variant will be on Sea Blue vinyl. Digging this new track - I loved Ultrapop so hopes are high for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad Heart Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Julien Baker on backing vocals, and Iggy Pop just in the music video. Was hoping this was gonna be a full collab album with Iggy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US store definitely had 1k for each of the 3 band variants, Evil Greed had about 350, so thinking each will be limited to 1500, maybe 2k.

dangerbirds Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 The splatter just feels like it fits with the band's insanity. Hopefully Liar 2 gives us some classic Armed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still just assume any details I hear about the band are a ruse. Hopefully one day we will get a complete history. KyleHL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleHL Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I haven’t posted on this board in a few years but logged in just to post about this LP! I love the new track. More so than the first two singles from Ultrapop. Looking forward to the full thing. That article is still hard to tell what’s real. My biggest takeaway is that the guy I assumed was Dan Greene is named Trevor. Here’s his LinkedIn even. Ha. https://www.linkedin.com/in/trevor-naud-3884ab9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonorsaur Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 (edited) Love the new track! Love this band! Can't wait for the album! Definitely picking up the tri color variant. Edited June 28, 2023 by Sonorsaur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twatay Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Never listened to this ‘band’ before. That new song sounds like an audio abomination but that’s just my opinion. Truly terrible. Like Iggy, what are you even doing being in that video. 😆 Gilderoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleHL Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Oof! this one is way different than their older stuff. I highly recommend “Only Love”. It’s perfect. no.one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no.one Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 I always look forward to new stuff from them, but I agree, this lead single isn't it... 'Only Love' was kind of peak for me too, and Ultrapop grew on me over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love everything about it. Parts of this album gave me goosebumps on first listen and it's been along while since music has done that. The song writing and structures are insane. I've been in to this band since These Are Lights and every release since just keeps impressing me more and more! Thier evolving sound never lets me down!

daegor Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 So good, need to digest it more, but I think I also like it more than ULTRAPOP. Not sure if it will surpass UNTITLED or Only Love, but it's definitely top three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWindBlower Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 The singles didn't do much for me by themselves, but the whole album really works. A lot of replayability here. Great evolution for the band. KyleHL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no.one Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I adored the balance of chaotic hardcore and noise rock with the hooks they had on Only Love. I'd say as a whole, it's a decent experimental alt-rock/pop punk album, but I think Ultrapop was a little better than this. This definitely has moments, but if you're a fan of their older sound, this is a big step away from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleHL Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Based on the singles I was surprised there was as much “craziness” as there actually is. Also really happy that Patient Mind finally made it to an album. I thought it was going to live on YouTube forever. Really curious to see what’s next. Based on some interviews it sounds like they might take another big turn on the next album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
