The Republic of Wolves - shrine (March 27, 2018) Album • Page 43

Awesome! Can’t wait

 

Sames. Nuts that these guys have been around that long.

For anyone that needs convincing, Sputnik had Grandfather as the 8th best album of 2009 and I feel like I remember one of the mods, SowingSeason (the guy that reviewed shrines) has it as his 2nd best album of all time, behind TDAG.

 

Yes! You too eh?

 

Sowing's reviews on Sputnikmusic are great. His tastes are generally so similar to mine.

 

Last night and again tonight i've played the standard version but then played the bonus tracks after haha. It doesn't feel complete unless i play all 13 tracks.

Along with TROW's back catalog, i'm also excited to dive back into their side projects. Haven't heard american gospel and the year fifiteen. Souveneer and ToT are pretty solid.

 

Birdless cage may be my favorite song on the record right now. This is going to change everyday

 

can't wait to listen to tigers on trains after this record.. this has been such a cool thread.

 

I don’t think I’ve listened to Antarctica’s. Making a TROW and side project Spotify playlist right...meow

 

share here! haha

 

Why havn't I heard this tigers on trains album before... this is freakin amazing

 

Great album art btw

 

I think my favorite Mason related side project might be Souveneer.

 

Tigers on Trains is awesome (as is all of their side-projects). These guys can do no wrong.

 

Some things:

1. Asked about getting sent lossless files of the extended album if I preorder, and the band said for me to hit up Simple Stereo, so anyone who's also after those, you know what to do.

2. Asked SS about a TROW care package shipment in June (i.e. a bunch of hypothetical other stuff ordered separately from shrine and combined into one order with the LP), because looking at their store and seeing the dedication this band has when it comes to physical product means I'm probably going to go ham on their records.

3. Asked SS about a Varuna repress since I know y'all might be interested and that album is so hard to find these days.

 

Which one? But you’re welcome ;)

 

Just yesterday I was sitting on the bus listening to this and I wondered to myself if there was even anyone else in the city that knew the band existed.

 

I’m listening now for my first time. Only on the third track but this is great!

 

People also should check out Souveneer (Mason’s solo thing), American Gospel (Gregg’s solo project) and The Year Fifteen (Billy’s solo project). They all makes appearances with each other.

 

I definitely will!

 

Stick around this is a good thread to be in!

 

Really great first listen and I'm already looking forward to diving back into it for more. Standout tracks for me on my first listen were The Canyon, Bask, Mitama, Dialogues, and Northern Orthodox. I'm sure that'll change a lot with repeated listens though.

 

I didn't sleep well. Couldnt stop thinking about this album. It's becoming a problem.

 

Time to play it again!

 

Starting to pick up on way more of the lyrics now that I'm becoming more familiar with the songs. Great stuff in The Canyon wow what an opener.
