Love No Mans Land but it feels really toned down compared to the live version, like most of the tracks on this album and these two EPs unfortunately.

We all thought Pete was alluding to a 45 / 7" in September, it'd seem strange to expect that still after the announcement of the EP & 12" (not released until November) but it leaves the tiniest grain of hope that GYEAH is still out there

Post **Posted:** Thu Aug 20, 2015 5:00 pm

Preordered the 12", not out til November it looks like though. Really wanna be not at work rn

I get what you're saying but...... this is probably the last (official) release of the pbvsgr era, let's just enjoy it instead of drawing the inevitable comparisons to the live versions

this is the studio version now and there's no use in complaining especially cause we got a super dope live rehearsal recording

This is why were are some of the best fans out there. This just blew up in minutes. Love it.

love this Preakness

Post **Posted:** Thu Aug 20, 2015 5:06 pm

Solid, solid EP. The Preakness and Cosplay make up for GYEAH being absent, poor kid.

i coulda sworn i heard bits of the apocalypse now sample towards the end but i was wrong (maybe?)

Spoiler: show

Shits like the definition of insanity... Doing the same thing over and over with different results. No AC related projects have ever been like live versions

Oh yeah, definitely, I agree. I do appreciate this release a ton, just felt the need to mention that. But that's all I'll say concerning live comparisons. I don't mean to complain.

I realize this obviously but it's missing the wazzup part and feels like a significant departure conpared to other live --> studio transitions. But that's all I'll say concerning that. I don't want to start a debate about it.

actually not entirely sure, somebody should do a side-by-side comparison

some random vocal sampels in the bg at one point and maybe the synths sound slightly different?

Post **Posted:** Thu Aug 20, 2015 5:22 pm

yeah, bleep bloops maybe a little higher in the mix? nothing against the song but it will probably be skipped outside of the LP for me.

i think original preakness is still my favourite, can't beat those harmonies

Post **Posted:** Thu Aug 20, 2015 5:24 pm

Ah, no long intro so. No worries.

How's that jabba drop?

Post **Posted:** Thu Aug 20, 2015 5:25 pm

no drop at the beginning but the drums cut out and come back in periodically

Post **Posted:** Thu Aug 20, 2015 5:25 pm

Ah, the harmonies during the "so it's getting busy living" part in No Mans Land.

Post **Posted:** Thu Aug 20, 2015 5:25 pm

cosplay OMG this is so great, amazing what that demo has turned into

those oohs in cosplay

Post **Posted:** Thu Aug 20, 2015 5:27 pm

That bouncy synth percussion is mixed a little louder

edit: in crosswords, i mean

Post **Posted:** Thu Aug 20, 2015 5:30 pm

You can hear his voice so clearly in these songs. PK did a great job on the mixing

Post **Posted:** Thu Aug 20, 2015 5:33 pm

Can't wait to listen when I get home

Panda hates drops

Post **Posted:** Thu Aug 20, 2015 5:35 pm

Omg! I finally got my daughter to sleep and come back to find the full ep! This is amazing! We need to add the Wazzup samples to No Man's Land though. So is this the end of the Greaper era? Gotta say... this is probably my favorite AC release including the roll out, merch, live versions and boots, artwork, and all of the recordings are beautiful. I feel like we've been way too spoiled. Thank you Petek! You really took it to the next level.

The Preakness made me cry :nateweep:

Post **Posted:** Thu Aug 20, 2015 5:40 pm

it's def not over

Post **Posted:** Thu Aug 20, 2015 5:42 pm

Nice thing to wake up to.

Crosswords - I can hear a difference, but I can't pinpoint what it is. Still it's one of my favorites so I'm always down to jam it.

No Man's Land - Such a nice little treat-uh.

Jabberwocky - One of the absolute best songs of the era pushed to excellence.

The Preakness - I'll confess that I have not been as into this song as the rest of y'all, but this is absolutely the Goldilox version of this song. Beautiful, surging with emotion. I get it now.

Cosplay - A perfect end. Gorgeous. And I don't even currently smoke weed.

Thanks Petek. For all that you do.

Post **Posted:** Thu Aug 20, 2015 5:45 pm

oh cosplay. perfect.

Post **Posted:** Thu Aug 20, 2015 5:45 pm

the preakness. oh my god.
was not expecting that (even though I should have)

shout out to panda for continuing to make amazing music.

shout out to Mr. Boom for his constant commitment to us.

much love!

We should be getting that mix of snippets similar to a the Stretch of Life, but this is probably the last official release of this era, no? Unless we get another music vid or something maybe

It's kinda fitting tho, the first thing that got released was the Cosplay demo, now we've come full circle
