If you liked Worship you'll probably like this even more dude.

"just got this on Vinyl Me Please's Thanksgiving sale"

Curious to read your thoughts about it Frip.

Aw shit Dewi, I just checked and we agree ratings-wise on the 3 Strangers albums I've heard. Officially a trustworthy source.

to soften the blow of it potentially being not my thing, I got the reissue of Peter Gabriel's third album and This Heat's Made Available. Also, I usually sell off any VMP stuff if it's not my thing for a decent profit, so it's a win-win scenario in this case.

@Sandwich You know I got your back m/

I think by the time they put out Worship they were already bored of being just loud for the sake of it. Getting Lia on the drums and now having that male/female vocals game going on benefits them. They still gotta find their mojo, but an album with the energy of Exploding Head with this formation is what I'm hoping for.

@Fripp Knowing the inflated price of vinyl these days, you could probably buy an entire thanksgiving dinner if you do end up reselling it.



@Dewinged Man, you're doing a good job hyping up this album you 3.0'd

Hahaha, nah I'm just saying is a good stepping stone for them to do something greater. It's a good album, above average for sure.

on discogs, the VMP variant is going for twice of what I bought it for



usually, VMP exclusives go for at least 30-60, depending on the album and the amount pressed



the Fiona Apple press from last year goes for a decent 40-45 nowadays provided you don't subscribe, in which it'd be 29 for it. A good reason to join if you haven't and don't want to pay for flipped records.

I was originally going to get Why's Alopecia (10th anniversary edition) but the site crashed and when it went back up, it was out of stock unfortunately. I had to settle for second best, essentially.

This was simply "okay" at best, "boring" at worst



Middle of the road post-punk, keeping with the times of this current wave of milquetoast post-punk.

Correct. "Too Tough to Kill" is my jam though.

They released a... how is it called... brainwashing machine edition or smth like that but I didn't even bother man. I also jammed the remixes yesterday. My favorite track wasn't even covered so meeeh.
