It’s excellent. Love the new directions they’re taking.

 

Yeah, okay... this is incredible. Damn.

 

cant wait

 

AMA on release day (this Friday) at 2PM EST

 

and, it's here.

 

didn't realize this was out this week.

 

It sounded awesome, can’t wait to watch my that later.

 

Alright, I enjoyed the album quite a bit listening to it but this visual album part of it takes it to another echelon. Got a lump in my throat and teared up on multiple different occasions. It’s like nostalgia put in a bottle. Woof

 

really loving this album so far. it'd be cool to hear longer versions of some parts but i'm glad some other parts are as short as they are. also would have loved maybe one more movement but why albums are always pretty short. might be my favorite album since eskimo snow

very curious to see how they do these songs live

 

“Peel Free” is one of my favorite songs this year. Feel like the first half of this album is really strong, but it loses steam for me near the end, maybe because it’s almost too fragmented?

 

I find the first half or so is stronger than the second half but that could be because I’ve been listening to the album as one cohesive thing all the way through and I might be zoning out or distracted 15-20 minutes in.

 

There are definitely a few songs in the second half that don't hold my attention as much but I think the shortness of the fragments and the quick transitions are actually a plus because a great part is always right around the corner

 

“I am not afraid
But  I'm a heavyweight
In  this Texas heat

Please take me home
Please take me home
I  don't belong here”

 

this is a strange little album!

 

Just got shipping confirmation of the VIP limited edition vinyl. Hell yeah

 

Vinyl already arrived. 107 out of 1,000 and it’s one of only 200 that got signed. AND they threw in a free copy of their Golden Ticket EP.

Fuck yeah, it’s all beautiful!

 

nice! have you heard the bonus tracks yet?

 

I haven’t yet! But I plan to.

Can we all cry and hold each other realizing how goddamn good Eskimo Snow is?

 

Here’s a pic of the VIP vinyl set

 

Still listening to this regularly. It’s super good.
