This album is really great. Love the atmosphere to this album. Much credit to Friddman for his great production and to the band for experimenting with their sound a bit more.
First thoughts: Tourniquet is unreal Blankets of ash gave me “we move like swingsets” vibes The closer is song of the year
Is that the indie variant? I wish they'd announced all of the options at the same time, and not slowly rolled them out like they did. I also wish they'd shipped stuff sooner so that pre-orders actually arrived on release day. Or the same week, for that matter.
Yea i got i from my local record store. It’s marked as “red and blue” vinyl which is strange. It’s more orange and teal
That's part of why I asked, as I'd also seen the "red and blue" label. Is three variants too many to have?
Been listening to this a good bit the last few days, I feel like it’s not as immediate as Purple, but this could be a major grower. I could do without as many interludes. The bass tone is unbelievable on this album, Gina crushed backing vocals, drums are great. I know it’s purposeful but sometimes the production does get a bit noisy in parts (more concerned it’ll blow out my headphones). Overall I’m super happy with it, but time will tell if this tops purple.
So I don’t know what variant to get. I honestly think they missed on the colors on all of the ones I’ve seen. I hated the initial run during preorders. The pink and blue one though looks like something I might be willing to buy. But haven’t seen a picture. Or is that it above? Looks more like orange? I’ll probably just go standard black. My other question is how does it sound? I’ve heard bad things about the Purple pressing.
Finally getting to listen to this tonight. Holy shit. Might be my favorite album of theirs since Blue and I've loved the last two.
