2011, I believe. The whole EP is on YouTube and I'm sure you can find it for download if you search the internet lol. It's damn good. Especially "Harsh" and "New York Minutes".
@mattylikesfilms I'm sure you haven't gotten your IHY yet but the master sounds way different than the CD version. Vastly improved, I'm stoked for you to hear it, I love it
Haven't got it yet but I'm so stoked! I remember reading about how they re-mastered the whole thing for vinyl. Can't wait. Hopefully it's in by the time I'm back from Portland next week!
Keep an ear out for the drums, they're the biggest difference. They're massive AF. Warn your neighbors.
Wow I truly need to hear those remasters, but I don't have a setup for vinyl listening. Do you think someone will rip those versions ? I don't know how this kind of thing works for vinyl.
I don't have the apparatus for vinyl rips, sorry. Would be really nice if someone did, because the end of Mean Shadows without the fade and a hard cut instead is much better.
I've never listened to It Hates You and I wasn't a big fan of Heavy Fruit. few just sounded like radio rock for the most part.
Ahh ok well that makes sense. Yea, though I think it's cool that it could be played on the radio. I listen to this band with my dad, whose huge classic rock/metal fan, and it's like the heaviest stuff he listens to. So I'd be stoked if this went radio. It's kinda of like the mastodon appeal. Like if someone was gonna make radio rock, then let it be these super talented musicians.
@Bryan Diem my IHY record came in the mail but since my record player is broken and there's no download code (vinyl was brand new wrapped and all)- I listened to the album start to finish 4 times over on repeat on the iphone while working from home lol. I lost track of time. It Hates You is perfect.
Aaaand I finally got around to HF on vinyl. Sounds awesome, and I really love the structure of that record, all the dark, thematically similar songs in the front and the more immediate ones in the back. Can't think of any albums like that, really.
Pretty solid interview with Schuylar where he talks about the recording process of Few and the Indiegogo campaign. He mentions how they are already writing for a new record (!!!) and with Few being most likely on track to becoming their most successful record- I imagine we won't have to wait longer than two years.
Schuylar also mentioned Dustie from Between The Buried And Me played the guitar solo for "The Garden" and that they are slowly but surely working towards getting I Am Hollywood the vinyl treatment.
I'm not a huge I am Hollywood fan but if helping the vinyl sell out would convince those label execs to press Suck out the Poison, I'm buying one for SURE
I'm not a big fan of IAH either but it would be cool to have plus anything to support the boys would be cool.
I'm listening to it right now at the gym and I forgot how much of a jam "Eating a Book" and "The Creature Walks" is. If they remastered the record and pressed it? Would jump on that in a second. Not sure if it's my copy only but the production is a little muddy.
It's pretty muddy I think but I don't have a CD copy so I'm not ultimate authority. I really only love the first and last and probably China White but I forget.
I still love IAH front to back even if it does seem like a totally different band at this point. It could definitely benefit from a remastering though. I saw them a couple of years ago and they played "Dinner with a Gypsy" which I honestly didn't think they would ever play. It was amazing.
