This is super cool. Being in bands for years, I've (we've) done some cool production stuff, but some of this is rad.
don't know them very well but I like this record a lot. it's a little patchy in the middle but "blue sunday" and "winter buds" in particular are really wonderful. and "death dance approximately" is such shameless mid-aughts sonic cosplay I can't not love it.
churlish to complain about a free release I know, but these "alternative versions" sure sound like demos
Well, I could have sworn last week I saw that the record already has 4 million streams on Spotify alone.. Regardless, I appreciate the hustle. The record is incredible and deserves to be a success for the band. Dying to see them play this record live. Also Death Dance acoustic is lovely.
No official delay that I’m aware of, mine showed up like a little over a week after the release date and that seemed to be later than most
I got mine like almost two weeks after it released. I would definitely hit RFC up by now since there’s no delays I’ve heard of.
TSwift did this but didn't put any new songs on the release, so this is a pretty nice little present IMO.
