I've noticed a lot of albums propping up on Spotify early before the official release. Wonder if they will do the same?

"Reach For The Dead" became available to people who pre-ordered the new album before it appeared on spotify.

I got that track alright when I pre-ordered the CD. I'm going to keep a close eye on Spotify to see if anything props up closer to the release date.

So, I broke down and got a digital copy of soulseek (320kbs) which isn't bad at all, and it sounds pretty great. But seriously, I'm really digging the new album, it feels a lot darker than previous endeavors, a lot punchier. It feels less organic, more in focus, less crackles, more attention to production. The songs are also a lot shorter, only one going a little over 6 minutes, which I don't particularly like. I like how expansive their longer tracks are, and it feels almost like someone pulling away a large slice of cake and leaving you with half with this release. I feel that the "cake" itself is a bit more rich and detailed than previous cakes, so it's more of a quality over quantity thing I guess. As for the songs themselves, I really like "Reach For The Dead", "Cold Earth", "Palace Posy" and "Semena Mertvykh".

Anyone else have the chance to give it a listen yet?

So, I just listened to the whole album again on my turntable, full blast, headphones, no EQ meddling, and damn, "Semena Mertvykh" is making my head tingle and rattle. Has anyone got their vinyl copy yet besides me?

got it the morning the record store opened! there were five other people waiting, too, which was scary because the record store only had five copies. luckily nobody else came and nobody took two copies.

P.S. palace posy is the ****

My CD arrived yesterday. The album sounded really good on first listen and sounds even better the more you listen to it. With all the endless hype and speculation over the past few years this album had a lot to live up to. It doesn't disappoint and was well worth the wait. Definitely an album for the headphones and one to turn up nice and LOUD.
