I've been meaning to listen to your album in full Snox, what I've heard from it sounds very interesting.

eagerly awaiting an expensive ass vinyl box set of this

Album Rating: 5.0

if this where to be released on vinyl it would take up like three or four discs

You're probably right. To Be Kind is on three, but a few of the tracks are edited.

Album Rating: 5.0

yeah i think bring the sun takes up like two sides of the vinyl edition, and i can see that easily ruining the song. damn you vinyl length limitations

They cut a few minutes from it too. I just listened to it the other night.

Album Rating: 5.0

at least it comes with a download of the unedited version

Oh, the packaging alone makes it worth it. I dropped $40 for it and have no regrets in doing so.

Album Rating: 5.0

well yeah it is pretty goat, all those baby faces and cardboard packaging and whatnot

Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Off

yeah the US version had the order fucked (Oxygen before Kirsten Supine i think), but the edits are barely noticeable except on "Little God".



If this ever gets the vinyl treatment, I doubt there'll be any edits unless absolutely necessary. (Considering the longest tune on here is like 11-12 minutes, I doubt there'll be edits like on The Seer and TBK.)
