SpazzyMcGee Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I liked the new one, but mostly because it utilized guitars in a way that hints they may return to a sound less like they had on Collapsible Lung. Personally, I'd rather see him on acoustic than piano...there's too many RK songs with piano already out there, so the change in sound/style is refreshing. Yes! Sounding less like CL was something I noticed. Hoping to have Matt write some better lyrics as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmhmm Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 FYI, I emailed gotee to change my address and asked for an update. They have the records and are just waiting on the sleeves, they should be shipping in the next few weeks. I'm actually more excited for the deluxe edition CD of mmhmm that's supposed to accompany the vinyl. I already own an OG pressing. It's just interesting that there's supposed to be some more songs released with it no information seems to exist detailing what they are.

Troy plays bass Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I hope it's cool stuff we haven't heard before, but I won't be surprised if it's just the Apathetic EP or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFP Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 If you're referring to Hoopes' stage presence, he rarely rocks out. And Thiessen is just awkward. Not making excuses for them but they aren't exactly a hop-around-the-stage, super energetic band. I've seen em 13 times now and you just know how they are. I'm just comparing them to the first time I saw them on the original MMHMM tour with MxPx "Panic with a 'K' Tour." I enjoyed their set at that time and I was a fan too. When I found out the (Motion City Soundtrack/Relient K/Driver Friendly) tour was coming to Charleston, I was so happy but when the guys in Relient K got on to the stage they were very lackluster compared to the last time I saw them and compared to MCS and Driver Friendly.

TFP Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I guess I should have said "no stage presence" instead of "no energy" haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Fox Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Just got back from this tour and while they didn't have the vinyl available at the show, the show itself was amazing. I thought they'd play a few extra songs after plowing through the entire album nearly nonstop, but they jumped in and played another 8 songs, including a new one. Seriously catch this tour if you can. Band looked like they were having a blast playing the songs, too. assuming it was the Portland date, I was also there. Great show and great crowd. honestly though, Blondefire was the most painful thing to sit through. I just don't understand why RK didn't tour with some one else. like House Of Heroes or someone more related to the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Indian Lakes was really lame, too. Songs all sound the same and just boring boring boring. Not sure why RK selected the openers they did.

mmhmm Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 If the deluxe edition of mmhmm is just Apathetic and the acoustic versions they released back in the day...not cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridge Fox Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Yeah, there are threads for all of those. okay, thanks. news to me. I'd rather them repress Forget and Not Slowdown than press any of these though. haha/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpazzyMcGee Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Seattle date, actually. I agree about the openers. From Indian Lakes was really lame, too. Songs all sound the same and just boring boring boring. Not sure why RK selected the openers they did. FIL is on point but if you haven't heard them I could see how you could make that case. They have a really great sound, I really like them though. On of my favorite albums of the year. Blondfire was painful.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appletree Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Sorry if answered, I flipped through a few pages. Did anyone ever confirm how to tell a first pressing vs the re-press? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmhmm Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Sorry if answered, I flipped through a few pages. Did anyone ever confirm how to tell a first pressing vs the re-press?

appletree Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Doh, my bad. Assumed they had been arriving. So safe to assume those claiming on eBay as 1st press are true...considering vinyl not being sold on tour. Thanks for the response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nardes Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I did my best at looking at the pic and comparing with my first press and they look identical... maybe there will be something but nothing I notice as of now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping for an uncoated finish for the new pressing, the first pressing's glossy jacket doesn't really suit the muted artwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFP Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Surely the new records would at least have new matrix grooves.....surely. Something's got to be different right? If nothing, I guess the difference will be that it comes with an anniversary CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
