All the Pineapple Thief covers, as in the remaster ones, are awesome. Little Man and Variations might be my favourites

What Have We Sown's reissue cover is probably my favorite, it's just so beautiful

Magnolia's album cover doesn't do anything for me, nor a lot of TPT's albums covers for that matter.



Reading this review makes my heart sink a little - I hope the album doesn't end up being a disappointment for me

I'm frankly quite surprised that this hasn't been leaked yet. I mean, by modern standards, to still be safely under wraps eight days before release is fairly golden.

Do staff reviewers get promotional copies of albums in advance? I've noticed that Willie sometimes hears albums over a

month before they're officially released

We certainly do sir. Both this album and that In Flames one, for instance, were given directly to us by labels and promotional agents. In addition, if we don't receive a promo directly, we can always try to ask a label for one and based on what I've observed we're fairly successful in getting those as well.



In other words, if you're already on this site and love listening to a slew of new music, write a lot, and write well. Promos are one of the biggest perks of making Staff on here.



(that and the annual pool parties at MX's mansion)

Probably, but I'm just being honest and calling a spade a spade.

@JJ I imagine anyone being told their music is average must feel pretty bad regardless

Explains why so many music reviews are always positive, P4k seem to be the only ones who make an effort to be inflammatory

Well, a load of reviewing sites are a business beforehand, so it makes sense that sometimes they'll want to appeal to where the money comes from

Greg gave All The Wars a 3.5 and that wasn't too bad of an album, so maybe there's hope after all!

Greg gave SHIM a 4.5 so he has the correct rating



"nor a lot of TPT's albums covers for that matter. "



Aw really? I love almost every TPT cover, they usually match the music perfectly, and who can argue with Storm Thorgerson?

Okay, maybe SHIM's cover is pretty sweet - but everything else I find eh



I think my standards have been elevated to ridic levels after falling in love with The Afterman Ascension and Hitchhiking to Byzantium's art

Agreed, all Anubis artworks are brilliant. But when you listen to Little Man and look at that cover... it just fits the chilling, empty atmosphere so well agh, and the colours on the Variations remaster artwork... top level photography fo sho
