How do you mean? There's no exclusive deal or anything if that's what you mean.

Yeah, it's in typical record stores according to the posters who've bought it so far.

Maybe it's all the Moonlander listening I've been doing for the last couple of months, but I really dig LtRP. And, I agree, I wish Stone was singing it.

Yup. A mayor label is distributing so it should be available everywhere.

Have the full interviews (or pretty much) of all the interviews they did for the Lightning Bolt promo been released? I don't recall seeing the Steve Gleason one, besides the ESPN footage and the stuff on the Lightning Bolt EPK.

Has anybody else noticed that the keys more often then not cut trough the mix while everything else is a little more on the buried side? I mean all trough the album.

I love this record as a whole. And my classmate played violin on it. I'm happy.
I might be able to get to an E-bow.

That's the reason why I lot of people are hating it. BoB and his cheezy keyz all over everything.

Thanks...these interviews have all been really good. They've been way more informative than the typical blurbs.

It seems he favoured himself when mixing. McP said the vocals are very processed to make room for the band but i think everything is processed in the same way to make room for B'OB :lol:
The keys sometimes cut trough the mix like a snare drum should.

I'm really surprised how much I love the songs that a lot of people were shitting on. Lb, sw and ltrp are all favs so far after 4 listens. And I'm also pleasantly surprised that I enjoy sbm and fd as much as I do.

Reading all the reviews and opinions ahead of time had its positives and negatives. On one hand, I prepared myself for a few stinkers but was totally happy to find out that I liked them. On the other hand, I might have to say that I was a little disappointed by ym, getaway and infallible after all the hype.

Pendulum is right on the money though.
