topshelfsquad Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I'm burned out on Let's Talk About Your Hair so my new favorite is Hell. Heads up, the tracklist isn't right on the digital download. It flows a lot better when you correct it, Living Dead really seemed to drag on when it was track 9. Noted. I'll look into making the swap on the bandcamp. Thanks!

topshelfsquad Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 So excited to see these guys tonight with Julia Brown, Modern Baseball, Prawn, Old Gray, and I Kill Giants. Almost definitely picking up the record. I was at this show! got mine last night and it looks awesome, although i was definitely confused as to why i ended up with (what i thought was) two black copies. but then i looked closer and held them up to the light and figured it out ha. the clear with black smoke is definitely way darker than i expected. it really does look black on first glance. it's all good though. still loving absolutely everything about this release We never clean the presses between variants so when it comes time to switch between pressing two different variants, the previous variant's color will "bleed" into the new variant's color for 10-20 records before being fully filtered out. This usually makes for some really cool color combinations. My guess is that you have one of these that happened to be within the first 10-20 records between black and clear w/ smoke because the clear w/ smoke copies I've seen are much lighter than this.

Guys from Julia Brown go/went to my school and are very associated with the radio station I work out so I had that going for me, and the other five I really enjoy. Wish the bands could have gotten a little longer but I get that the timing was a mess with that super late start. Really fun show though.

RadDonut Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 So I just discovered this album and holy crap I am in love! I snagged the download from someone a few months ago and I'm literally just listening to it today and I can't believe I slept on this for so long! Going to grab the clear with black smoke as soon as I get some funds and hopefully find someone willing to sell their 180g for a decent price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlr Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I'd say When I Sleep, then Level Head, and then The Ancient West. And by the way they released a four way split yesterday with tiny moving parts, old grey, and unraveler. http://bigfootprintsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/september-4-way-split-part-1 ajismetal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladewillisisdead Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Finally picked up a copy of this because of the 20% off sale going on right now. I also picked up We Were Skeletons - Blame and Aging, but meant to pick up the 2nd press of Whenever, If Ever. I was playing around with different orders before finally pulling the trigger and fucked it up somehow. I was going to email Topshelf to sort it out but then I said "Fuck it" because its not like I didn't want the album. Hopefully I manage to pick up the 2nd press of Whenever, If Ever before they're gone though. It's the only album I've ever felt compelled to collect the variants and I'm only missing Black and Hunter Green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rm Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Have had this for a while but was only able to listen to the download in passing. Finally giving the vinyl (180g) a proper listen. Really fucking good. On round 2... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar Shane Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I need a white one to complete the variant collection. I've been putting it off for so long, think I'll finally get it. I'd love a test press too. Hmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
