just started listening....I could get into this. good stuff

inspection12e (March 24, 2011)

This is awesome. It's a shame that it isn't being released on CD because that's the only way I'd pick it up.

kneel (March 24, 2011)

can't you just buy the album on bandcamp and make your own cd?

Blackjaw_ (March 24, 2011)

With ease.

inspection12e (March 24, 2011)

Or just download the mp3s illegally yes. I don't pay for mp3s.

badbrain (March 24, 2011)

You can't live in the past forever man

Blackjaw_ (March 24, 2011)

I knew you were just making an excuse for not paying for it. You suck. Just think of it as paying for the cd you're gonna burn them to. What's the difference?

inspection12e (March 24, 2011)

Actually I own over 10 thousand albums and would have no problem paying for this album because it is awesome. I refuse to buy mp3s that I could lose to a virus or harddrive crash.

good lord, and I thought I had a lot of cds.

shame cds aren't worth shit anymore. 10 years ago, I could sell my collection and probably buy a nice foreign car

steveguttenberg (March 24, 2011)

you realize you can download any type of format off of bandcamp.

inspection12e (March 24, 2011)

I'm just old and set in my ways. I don't support the digital formats with my money.

mattbeall (March 26, 2011)

Why not just think of it as a six dollar donation in exchange for music that you enjoy that took some folks a significant amount of time and effort to produce?

Because you want to be an asshole? Oh, ok. Carry on, then. I will pay the whopping six bucks.

Blackjaw_ (March 24, 2011)

Fuck yes.

kneel (March 24, 2011)

this album is so goddamned amazing. top 10 material for sure. i get similar feelings from this album as i did about gaslight anthem back a few years go.

yeah you can take that how you want.

yossarian (March 27, 2011)

i second your assesment

ballsackky (March 24, 2011)

Got this on vinyl at the release show and have been spinning it constantly. Real amazing stuff wish it was a little longer. Broken vacuum is perfection.

nedsammy (March 24, 2011)

I've adored this band since I heard Title Track on that PunkSite comp. I'll pick this up later, I've had a deluge of music coming in lately...

For example, I just found that Fake Problems' Real Ghosts was better than Chamberlain Waits.

ThisMikeisaPipebomb (March 24, 2011)

hmmm are you sure it's not a delusion of music?

nedsammy (March 25, 2011)

2/10. I just enjoy it more. Chamberlain Waits is a good record, but Real Ghosts is more energetic, the lyrics are better, and it feels more... fresh.

nocigar (March 24, 2011)

holy......fucking..........shit.........this...........is....... ...fucking........AMAZING

TightropeMTL (March 24, 2011)

This is extremely awesome. Funny thing is, this has to be on the most misleading album cover in YEARS. If I didn't know what this band was up too I'd be sure this would be Post-Metal/Sludge.

markbr28 (March 26, 2011)

Makes sense, because most/all of the guys in the band are into "post-metal/sludge", as well as the guy who did the cover art. That said, definitely an amazing album.

suburbanxcore (March 24, 2011)

Best record of the year so far.

imageryandsound (March 25, 2011)

fuck yea philadelphia, you are on fire

p_fluff (March 25, 2011)

this album is amazing. it's a breath of fresh air. these guys kick ass. i wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being the best of the year. masterpiece.

moistphily (March 26, 2011)

just bought this. best album i've heard in a long time.

mattbeall (March 26, 2011)

I'll echo everybody else in here. This is really quite good.

Big_Guy (March 26, 2011)

I've only heard about half of it, and I can honestly say this will be top 5 of 2011

waiting on my vinyl that I can't play
