Hairy Potter Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I preordered the pink and white variant. it looks great! I kind of wish i didn't preorder because I stopped by my local record store on Tuesday and they have cream/green copies (haven't seen, pic anybody?) AND if you bought a record you got a free wrist band to see Tigers Jaw play an acoustic show tomorrow night. I've seen them play a bunch of times but never acoustic. Oh well….

dantheriver Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 ^ if that is one of the shows they have been tumblring about all week then you can still get in free. The wristband is just for guaranteed entry. So show up early enough and you can still check out the show (check their tumblr to make sure it's one of those shows first).

Rip Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I finally got around to listening to this for the first time and all I can say is WOW. Without a doubt their best release yet and will more than likely end up being my favorite release of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkinglot Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Was this record $12 or $15? The packaging is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I don't think USPS even pays attention to the names, just the zip code. I've had records sent to my hometown Vancouver, Washington (with the proper zip code) and go to Vancouver B.C. before making their way back to me. I'm not sure how that works out, but it has happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRHews Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 The Maroon/White starburst and Pink/White starburst look terribly similar...or at least mine has very little Maroon :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugar Shane Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Definitely has to grow on me. Second listen was better than the first for me, but I am still a bit bummed that 3 songs were previously released. They sound great on the album, don't get me wrong, it just doesn't have the same effect for me. I like when EPs and comp contributions stand alone and aren't released elsewhere.

They sound great on the album, don't get me wrong, it just doesn't have the same effect for me. I like when EPs and comp contributions stand alone and aren't released elsewhere. I could see people being slightly miffed that Distress Signal is on the record (despite sounding significantly better and being one of their best songs), but it's pretty common for a 7" single to come out prior to an albums release.The version of Cool on the 7" is completely different and for a band who's last record was 23 minutes (I think), Charmer being almost 40 with two songs you've heard before is pretty good. Alas, you're obviously entitled to your opinion, and I hope you come around on the record! Hairy Potter and Royce 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheriver Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 My only complaint about Distress Signal is that I always anticipate that Hostage Calm is up next. I listened to Mixed Signals way too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelmanfredi Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 i do think the album is a nice listen but nothing stands out for me. there's not really a song that brings me back to it. corey. and castaway 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uglyorgan Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I had to listen to this album about 5 times but now the whole thing works for me. There was always something new I noticed that pulled me along to another listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doomcreep Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I really haven't been able to stop listening to this since it came in. The packaging is fantastic and the album sounds so good. Easily in my top 3 of the year so far. GradedOnACurve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royce Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Album just gets better every listen. I was just thinking that it sucks that half the band is leaving after they put out their best album. Hairy Potter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they sound much better on the album and the second and third time through I found myself enjoying it more than the first. I'm seeing them on Monday and hoping hearing more of those songs live will also help me along with this record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnayala90 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Anyone get to see the show tonight? I saw john slaby posted a picture of the Merch he designed and then a photo of them playing. I couldn't help but smile at the thought of the band finally taking on the reigns of a fully realized record and tour. Im sure they play a healthy mix of their whole catalog but I personally would love to hear majority new songs. Looking back, it seems when they werent as much in the public consciousness, in the time between two worlds and charmer (my favorite era), they operated under the surface as a regional act playing a lot around PA and honing their chops. I truly think that time as an established local band aided to the next levelry of this record, you can hear the experimentation in the six or so songs between the two LPs.

fuckinandsuckinandtouchin Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Anyone go to the Philly show tonight?? It was a great show.. never heard Loose Planes until tonight, they were great. I was looking for a record release copy of Charmer, but I didn't see anything. They had copies of the maroon/white though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Route36west1 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Was there last night. Only record release type thing was that the first 150 people got a screen printed poster. Great set. good mix of old and new. Pretty crazy to see them playing to such a big crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
