Spoiler: show

is that just due to being on opposing sides of vinyl or do prester and car keys truly not transition

[hedgecore]

sound comparison: I just compared Prester John to the official single... the freebird sounds pretty good (just looking at that one song). It sounds slightly compressed compared to the digital file, a little less low end but nothing like PW freebird.

also strung with is fucked up haha but the singles out for that so it can be replaced I suppose

[wilandhugs]

Just reached the Prester John familiarity island. I've been blasting this on my BT speakers (JBL) and while it's no Vinyl/headphones it's still a pretty fuckin good rip. Haven't gotten to Strung yet, but if that's the highest peak then it might be the only affected track mostly.

Not gonna spoiler talk anything, but man... Side A is strong

It rules! That added Synth, and Noahs vocal effects, the ending. Do wish it were jammed out a bit longer, but a minor complaint.

Preliminary listening… Panda’s voice on Car Keys is magnificent but I hate that new repeating synth sound. Wish they kept a bit of the new outro but I can see why they kept it live-only. I think they nailed Cherokee for what it’s worth. Deakin’s new harmony in the chorus is actually genius for the studio version I think. The medieval sounds throughout the album are perfect.

it’s genuinely SO good, i know folks are gonna get demoitis but theres nothing to hate here

[roopn]

Fuck alright might actually have to duck out for a bit. Don't know how I'll adjust to not refreshing this forum every 10 seconds. Enjoy!

LMAO WHAT HAPPENED TO THE END OF STRUNG WITH EVERYTHING

[Stan]

I think Car Keys sounds great. I love that daft synth noise. Vocals are wicked. The soaring vocal break is the best it's ever sounded. Bass line is bumping.

Fuck I actually welled up there when that soaring vocal kicked back in.

[meys]

doesn’t sound too bad outside of some pops here and there. pretty stellar LP!

[dio]

ok

[TetsuoUnderFire]

I love how live this sounds. Can't wait to hear the actual release.

[Hellomark]

If Strung is the only part that's fucked up I think I'm gonna listen... In hindsight I'm really glad we got that one as a single lol.

[lhtd]

fuck it... can someone punch me pls?

edit: thanks!

[meys]

oh yeah strung doesn’t sound too great but that’s fine we have lossless copies of that

[mildew_on_rice]

Can anyone please PM me this thing?? MUCH LOVE

[Slippi's Applesauce]

Ok the passerby outro actually came out pretty well

[Allatrobles]

I was helped, and I thank all those who made the effort to help as well. Love this place!

[howsoever]

Spoiler: show

I think the only one I’m going to hold out on is Royal and Desire. I can already tell it’s going to be beautiful and my new go-to tearjerker and I want to hear every sound in lush detail

[TetsuoUnderFire]

The aesthetic on this feels very very much like going back to the days of Centipede Hz. I'm getting some Monkey Riches vibes on Car Keys

Also, would appreciate a PM. Not sure if what I saw linked on /mu/ is the same or not.

[Juan]

Loving the album version of Strung, these boys are crazy!

[conswaygo]

If everyone can utilize the spoiler tag for anything spicy we'd appreciate it.

Also if someone wants to crunch me, bless ya.

Jesus, imagine if this was our first listen of Strung. What a disaster that would be. People would hate it and think thats just how the song was. Thank glob it was a single.

[howsoever]

Loving Chipmunks Animal Collective. I Am Going To Play The Whole LP On 45 RPM And Live Life With A Smile

[kevytarebear]

I just got to it, lmfao how did that even happen, accident 45 rpm?

[r_o_s_s]

if i don't get my dispatched email from domino tomorrow, im gonna be extremely worried

[LeadHat]

Dude who ripped it in the discord server sped up strung on purpose as a goof iirc to "pullhair rubeye" the bird LMFAO

[coral lord]

oh my god dragon slayer

i can't believe it's going to sound even better friday

[Stories and Games]

two songs in, dragonslayer and car keys are both noticeably slower than the live versions, i wonder if the record player was playing them a slower or if it's just that the live energy was making them rush a bit

[northernchild]

I’d appreciate a P(ee pee)M if possible

[howsoever]

Passer-by is Mercury Man. Nothing to do with what the studio version sounds like, just thematically it seems like the parallel to Mercury Man

[popadam]

its so nice not having demoitis for once lol. dragon slayer, cay keys and cherokee are all amazing songs that i'm sure i would've ruined with obsessive boot listening.

[evan6032]

Just woke up from a nap could someone hit me with a link?

The guy was having trouble with the sound so he just decided to fuck around with the ending for a laugh.

[Lacrimosa]

PUNCH PLS.

[Stan]

Cherokee

Spoiler: show

doesn't have the soaring high register vocal melody but it peaks in a different way, better than Blast, much more going on. Slightly blue balled me but I really enjoyed what it actually is. That was great.

Not a single flat moment for me so far.

Edit Oh fuckkkkk

Randall you played me

Passerby is dogshit melody version. It goes up then down not down then up.

I might recover, I just have to imagine I'm a line ahead or behind.

[coral lord]

car keys didn't grab me before, i like the changes a lot. studio magic is real

[popparen]

I'm actually in the bathroom

I can hear it
