Promo of this arrives in the morning. So...fucking...excited!! I've got a brand new bong specially made and loaded for first listens...

 

[cesspooldublin]

what, to alleviate the inevitable dissapointment by getting monged?

 

[Janer]

I may have had this same sense of excitement before, think it was for the release of Mortal Kombat II on the Mega Drive...It lived up to the hype.

 

[OLP]

I had the same thing with Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance. It was the first one to come out on the PS2. It ruled.

 

[Corm]

Yeah, same buzz when Auntie Kathleen got me Street Fighter II Turbo on the SNES the weekend it game out -fuck, that was good! My Dad was mad pissed off with her, haahh, she was always gettin me and my sister 'speno toys that our parents would never let us have! GI Joe, Lego castles, enormous teddy bears, mad Airfix models and all. G'wan Auntie Ka you legend!

Anyway, Shrinebuilder is going to be a well decent album whatever way it turns out.

If I don't see a link to a leak this time tomorrow yer banned.

 

[Corm]

As if. That would be like soooo unprofessional of me.

The labels are nuts about it these days, digitally watermarking promos and shit. Pack of knobarsery. They've been trying this iPool shit where you download MP3s and artwork instead of sending out even crappy promos, nevermind even getting to see the full release as it's sold. Thankfully it doesn't seem to be working out and a lot of them have been giving up on it.

This will defenately be a try before you buy release.

Pffft professionalism. Nah I totally understand, it'll be upped by someone fairly soon anyway. Aren't all review copies watermarked to be traceable back to you?

 

[FERGLOR]

so... verdict?? rapidshare link??

 

[robitusson]

Definitely wanna hear this. Doubt it'll be amazing though.

 

[Gambra]

So Corm is the album better than the horrendous looking artwork?

 

[Corm]

Yeah, the album's a grower alright. It really does sound like a mix of the four dudes, but after about five listens it's starting to gel together where you're like, fuck, that's pretty much Melvins sparse rolling drum structures, an Om bass riff and vocal melody and then some leads and chords typical of Neurosis followed by a Weinrich solo. Strangely what I'm least convinced about at this stage are the Kelly vocals. But altogether it's sounding very decent and I've a feeling that it could be something that gets even better with time, even more so on subsequent releases. Interesting at the very least.

One of the songs, Pyramid of the Moon is up now on their myspace. I'm liking it.
