phoenixinflight Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Got my deluxe today. Not shipping notification or order status change from Merchnow. They packaged it great, though and everything arrived safely. Gatefold and everything else is mind blowingly good. Shitty iphone pics, but yeah: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickydenim Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Good god. Looks amazing! Can't wait for mine. How did the banner turn out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenixinflight Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Haven't opened it yet caus I have nowhere to put it currently haha. Album is on repeat. The inside of the gatefold would be KILLER as a print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickydenim Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Got my deluxe bundle today. Packed really well and everything looks great. One issue though, my 1st LP has a massive warp on the lip about an inch in. First track is unplayable. It rocks the cartridge right back off. Super!

achillesstand7 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I think I may be in the minority, but I've been a little disappointed with this album. There are some songs that I really like, but it seems that half of the songs on it have lost something that I really liked from their last album. Kind of the atmospheric/post-rock feel that Garden Window had, maybe. Maybe it'll grow on me more. I've only made it through it a handful of times, so that's definitely possible. But, it seems like most of what I've seen from reviews have been positive, so to each their own. Good record still, just perhaps moving a little away from my taste. Thoughts?

ChardeeMacDennis Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I'm with you on all of that...I'm sure that the live version is much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Gospel Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I also saw them on a couple of tours with Thrice. I didn't really care for them then, but I dig this latest track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While its not a bad record, I don't think it's all that great. I really love Death of Day, and they definitely seem to be creeping away from that sound.

daegor Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I'm on the opposite end, while I like all three, to me Death of Day is the most forgettable. They were all but a (really good) Thrice clone. Garden Window we started to see a departure and they started to develope their own sound. Disillusion is 100% O'Brother. While I loved their rockier stuff, it was always the slow moody stuff that hit me hard (I LOVED Basement Window), so this is right up my alley.

radiatorhums Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I've listened to this three times through and for the most part I like it. His voice will always be the weak link for me, I get too much 'modern hard rock' out of it. I do like the whisper stuff though. Transience is the only song I just plain don't like. It sounds like it would fit too well on a radio playlist between Godsmack and Mudvayne. The title track is the stand out for me all around. I need to listen to it more though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now I've just listened to Godsmack and Mudvayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 ^ those were just two bands that I could think of that every 'edgy' hard rock station plays and transience sounds like a bad hard rock song to me, that's all. Sorry you were exposed to Mudvayne, awful stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwgncpr Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 i'm not in love with this album, but I don't see how you could even come close to making a comparison of O'Brother to anything nu metal. Same comment goes to whoever wrote that in the Sainthood Reps thread. does not compute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I don't see how you could even come close to making a comparison of O'Brother to anything nu metal. does not compute Nu Metal or Creed-rock (whatever that is) Though O'Bro does a wicked 'Arms Wide Open' cover, haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdblivesonearth Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Even tho I still really hadn't had time to sit down and listen to the new album yet. I hoping to pick this up in a week when I see them with daylight in Pittsburgh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
