ETIDs post on Daniel leaving said the guy filling in is FOMRERLY of Norma Jean, so maybe he will be the new drummer.
I was listening to a podcast recently and the guest kept using the word "illuminate" and every time (ha!) my head would go to "UN-ILLUMINATE!"
I bought my FPU vinyl from esteemed AP.net staffer Thomas Nassiff for 4x that but that $16 will allow him to buy a wedding ring so I can't complain.
2nd and Charles in Allentown PA. If you got one near ya, always check their vinyl. They price things pretty fairly (read as: they do not research what oop vinyl go for and wing it with others). I got Afterman Descension by Coheed, which hovers around $80 for this pressing for 14 today.
they're essentially tied but i think this is a more refined version of FPU, they're easily their best two
Yeah, I wanna give the edge to this one because there's a bit more sonic variation and of course, DD. But the rippers on FPU (The Great Secret, Pelican of the Desert, If There's Room to Move, Exometrium, Idiot, etc) go just a little bit harder than the ones on this to me, with the exception of Petal
When FPU came out I thought that album blew their past work out of the water, and this one is still significantly better. Crazy.
Yeah Ive had that feeling for like the past 3 albums or so. Its so crazy. TBD is my favorite personally to me but yeah every album is better than the last just depth and song writing wise.
The ones i favor are the two I listened to most when they came out, TBD and Ex Lives I really need to spend more time with FPU & LT
