nothingnatural Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Hello Merch was very helpful about my clear copy arriving badly warped. They asked me for photos so I sent them a few. Three days later I got my replacement and they sent me a grey that they had lying around. Nice gesture on their part. stopcrying and drds89 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 My God this album gets better with each listen. Burial is a freaking monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neanderthal Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 This is one of the most consistent bands, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vool Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Just got back home from vacation and still haven't received this WTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwgncpr Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I just got mine Thursday evening. Tracking info was stuck at "shipping info received" for 2 weeks. I assume overseas locations are going to be a bit slower yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davepriz Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I know everyone here is drooling over this and I DO love Russian circles myself but although I enjoy this album I would rank it pretty low in their discography.

deletedunknown Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I think it's a great new breath for them. And listening to Pain Is Beauty after Memorial works amazing well as a nice continuity. It's almost as if Chelsea and the Russian Circles guys planned it that way. drds89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I alone? Very hard to say man. Empros and Geneva have been battling for my fav for awhile now, but even just thinking of Enter, Station, and this album as part of their discography shows how hard it is to say. I think I'm not so into Enter just cause Brian Cook wasn't on it, which is foolish cause Enter is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davepriz Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Yeah, for me Enter is the weakest. The production quality and flow of the album doesn't compare to everything else IMO. It would be interesting to see what that would have sounded like if Brian joined RC from the start. The world will never know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I alone? nope, its at the top for me. Geneva was my favorite by far, but this is rivaling it. I've been listening nonstop since they streamed it, and its still not getting old. I have trouble ranking their albums, but I would probably put them like this (favorite to least favorite): Geneva / Memorial Enter / Empros (depending on my mood) Station Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lehooch Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I think it's a great new breath for them. And listening to Pain Is Beauty after Memorial works amazing well as a nice continuity. It's almost as if Chelsea and the Russian Circles guys planned it that way. They wrote it specifically for her to do vocals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrewest Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 This is one of the more addicting albums I've heard this year. I keep craving it. It's making a push to overtake Geneva for top spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Yeah, for me Enter is the (best, but glad they didn't keep writing Enter albums over and over). fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 This is one of the more addicting albums I've heard this year. I keep craving it. Still in this boat, too. Nowhere even close to a disappointed from the band, for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 picked up a copy today. really love "ethel." Song is fantastic, although the whole thing really is. I know everyone here is drooling over this and I DO love Russian circles myself but although I enjoy this album I would rank it pretty low in their discography. Am I alone? For me it ranks pretty high up there. That might change once the 'new' factor wears off, but as of right now it's either my first or second favorite album.

Neanderthal Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Their 3 most recent LP's are my fav for sure. I really wish I wasn't broke when this was up for PO... Now I have to conform to an asshat scalper for that grey variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickydenim Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I got my clear copy a few days ago, no warp and sounds great! For how short this is I wish it was 45rpm though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyhi Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Saw them yesterday in Cologne and picked up the euro tour edition. Looks great! Does the Euro grey look exactly like the US grey? Can you post a pic? I like the US grey and all but still wish it was translucent vs opaque drds89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniele Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 the european transparent grey variant is now available at greenhell and flight13: http://www.greenhell.de/katalog/noise_doom_ambient/detail_69199.html (19.90€) http://www.flight13.com/details/106036/russian-circles-memorial (21.50€) I ordered from flight13 and received a black copy...bummed!!!

I like the US grey and all but still wish it was translucent vs opaque It's definitely different from the US grey. Unfortunately you can't really see the difference in the picture but it's a bit creamy, almost like the Comadre s/t. nyhi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
