bobbydrake33 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Can you elaborate on that at all? several indie stores will have listening Parties that you would need to attend. Some may require a purchase. Others may require you to just be present. And they will be giving out a test pressing. Check with your local store.

I got a boring white shirt from their 2007 tour. Gave it to a friend. Oh well, I love the album and it isn't the first time I overspent on a pre-order.

Gotta get rid of old merch somehow... That blue shirt does look kinda spiffy though. Hope it isn't an eyesore like their headphones shirt.

almightyseancore Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 i still have my shirt from preordering that clarity repress. it's a size L and doesn't fit me, hasn't for a long time. i've left it hanging in my closet as weight loss motivation. clearly it hasn't been doing the trick.

searos Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Only shirt I own is from Invented era but its really cool. Its a woman sitting alone in a diner grayscaled on a black shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbobrando Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I need to get on this and buy this album. I'm just happy that their tour is coming through Cleveland and I get to go again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasingbreakers Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Okay, I've come around on this album. I think I was initially put off by the muddy sound quality of the stream and the fact that the first singles led me to expect a more rock-oriented record. Ultimately, it's an interesting, concise album that balances the stripped down sounds of Invented with the earnest lyrics of some of their earlier efforts without ever really tripping over itself. Songs like "Please Say No" and "No, Never" are growers that will probably become fan favorites for years to come, and "Appreciation" is the sort of track that demands to be played live and seems destined to be the lead off song on their next tour. The album tapers off toward the end, and those looking for the epic closing track that this band has practically trademarked will ultimately be disappointed in "You Were Good". Though given the concept that drives Damage, it's kind of fitting that this one ends on that sedated and sober note (like a lesser version of "Butterfly" off of Pinkerton). Acceptance isn't flashy, it just is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviex2shoes Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I would go to one of the ones in Milwaukee if I wasn't working at 2pm on a Saturday. If only it was like 3 hours later I'd go in hopes to get one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
searos Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Ugh this came for me today while I was out and now I gotta wait till tomorrow. I was looking forward to spinning this tonight. I am glad Amazon ships these things fast but this is a pain in the ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardacus Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I got mine from Amazon today, and it sounds beautiful. The songs have way more warmth and depth than the digital versions give credit for. I was impressed with the mastering and the pressing of this release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyseancore Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 is it a gatefold? anyone want to share pics? i didn't do the one day shipping, so i gotta wait a few days before mine gets here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a gatefold sadly. There's an insert and a single LP. It's pretty much the same setup as Chase This Light. A few tracks in and I have to agree it sounds really nice. Noted improvement in clarity and separation from the CD and stream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhitmuzik Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 My writer bashed this pretty hard but I think this is decent, though not really memorable at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
