dantheriver Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Got mine today and got to spin it one time before I'm off to Canada for 3 weeks. Can't wait to see what's waiting on me when I get home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

castaway Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Probably a long shot but if anyone wants to sell me a gold black splatter copy for cost + shipping hit me up. Orrr trade for my 180g black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeMoreGlass Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Alright, so I have to say this album is blowing my mind... "The Shaking of Leaves" and "No Amount of Sound" are both such brilliant songs. I love the subtlety in the instrumentation on both of those songs and the lyrics are so unbelievably deep on "No Amount of Sound." I am assuming by the lyrics that he is talking about someone he loved (it says mother but I don't want to assume that much) getting Alzheimer's and passing away. The line "No amount of sound could make us fade the way you're fading now" just gives me chills. It is also a bit eerie/brilliant that he ends the song the same way it starts with the exact same lines. I don't know if it was intentional but it really furthers the idea and almost embodies the disease... Evan definitely hasn't lost his alliteration skills either..."A Comparison by Correlation (A Curt and Cunning Ruse)" - Your Antique Organ Also, the gloss lyrics in the booklet are making for a rather interesting listening/lyrical experience...I'm sitting on the floor with a flashlight trying to read this thing...love it...

museummouth Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 This has some of the best packaging ever and it was not overpriced at all. I'd even say its a steal at the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhitmuzik Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Packaging rules and it's cool, too bad the music is somewhat of a bummer compared to Proper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejesseb Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Packaging rules and it's cool, too bad the music is somewhat of a bummer compared to Proper. Yea the album is definitely good but I liked Proper more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billya Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 The new songs blend in really well in the live set. I don't know that I like it as much as Proper, but I'm also not sure that that's a fair comparison to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You nailed it man, this album is so different from Proper...I loved proper, but I feel this album is deeper emotionally. I don't know...the melon collie vibe of this album is really fitting my mood right now...maybe that's why I love it so much... billya 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper has its place, and so does this. I will say that over the course of life I think that I will likely listen to Proper more, but I totally back this record being awesome.

circuit bored records Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Waited until I got the LP to listen to this, spinning it right now. First impression: way better than Proper. More mature sounding, with more complex song structures. Loving it so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artlovesyou Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 What does that mean exactly?

marc32137 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 My promo copy of Unwritten Law's Elva had 3-4 locked grooves on each side and they all went away after a thorough cleaning so try that if you haven't yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Believe it or not I just now got a chance to give this a listen. This is by far my favorite thing IIOI related. I just can't get over how good this is and it will definitely get some constant play from me for the next few months at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
