From a packaging and variant end result? It’s a little underwhelming IMO. Especially when you consider how much this cost and how previous pressings came out. Sounds good though and that’s what matters most.
had a chance to hear this early. interesting first listen, not sure I really loved it but it might be a grower. self-titling this album was definitely a choice
I’m dropping a review this week that gives it a score in the 9s, it’s my second favorite album to come out this year. To each their own!
Here’s my review if anyone is interested. https://thescopeof.com/2024/06/10/album-review-the-early-november-the-early-november/
I like getting a song or two early but it really messes up how I listen to something when I know half the songs. I know everyone's doing it this way now. Love the sounds and I really do think it ranks among my favorite stuff they've done. Excited to hear the rest.
New TEN isn't being played on the radio or at the grocery store, etc., so it's been very easy for me to not listen to more than just the first 2 or 3 singles that have come out.
In the long run it doesn't matter, it's not like you remember exactly which songs came out on an album that came out 3 years ago when you listen now
