I still need to listen to the album (I'm waiting for a good time to stream it where I can actually pay attention) but I said the same thing about Bending Hectic when it was released last year.
Yeah its a winner for sure. I think the only song that didn't immediately click for me was Friend of A Friend. Some seriously amazing music on this record.
There’s a European one, I got it at my local today. It has less in the runouts that the US one. According to cogs the US one has loads of MRP stuff in the dead wax, that ain’t on mine.
As much as I’m not one for deadwax and still can’t spin stuff I opened mine immediately to make sure it didn’t have the MRP stuff on it lol. Nothing per se to suggest optimal but it’d tally with the usual XL Europe Radiohead and adjacent stuff.
