Anyone know what makes the CD a “limited edition”? Don’t want to miss out on any tunes, but I’m fine with vinyl + digital if I’m getting everything through those means. my guess is that it's just going to be a limited run of CDs, as it's a dying medium, not an exclusive that way.

glad "I'd rather be dead than live in some bubble" was a Craig line from 10 years ago and not 10 days.

Hurricane J from Avatar sounds like a Police song.

this version of Criminal Fingers is great. And the raging guitar solo in We Can Get Together changes my whole perspective on the song.

definitely a little nervous that it said 10/30 onsale and I was just able to buy the $55 three nights + soundcheck package, but here's hoping all is well.

I'm starting to realize that this isn't my least-favorite THS album. Not that 'least-favorite' is bad per se, when you're talking about your favorite band. One of them has to be. I've got some great memories tied to the time when the singles had hit waiting for it to leak (it was 2010, those were different times) and after it came out officially. My sister and I both got married that spring. Sweet Part, Barely Breathing, Our Whole Lives, Hurricane J, and Weekenders are all among of my favorites from the catalog. I think my least-favorite is, as of now, Teeth Dreams. BUT TD was the only record I didn't see a show promoting, weird four-piece alt-rock fest notwithstanding.

needless to say, I saw that they slapped the SP logo on bandannas and masks and spent more money than I intended to.

Anybody have a copy of "Easy" floating around? It has disappeared from Spotify and Soundcloud I've been looking for both sides of this, I swear I had the mp3s once, but no longer.

Excited for Lanyards, Open Door Policy, and Feelers to hopefully pop up as digital singles at some point.
Thrashing... was cool, but I really enjoyed when it felt like they were doing a quick two-song drop around every little burst of shows.

the lyrical changes are cool, but my favorite thing about all of these is hearing how Tad, Steve, and Franz find space in the arrangement for the three of them. Tasteful players all. I hope they eventually release everything that's gotten a six-piece play on one of these.

March 8th from London and 9-14-18 from Toronto. Not sure which one is better yet, but glad the band is back in the holiday habit of dropping these. holdsteady.bandcamp.com/

Guessing these'll go out now that the band is through for 2019. The shipping estimate was 11/22, and has been moving to the current day ever since.

I hope the band puts one or two or four of these out as unofficial bootlegs a la last December.

Criminal Fingers is a rad song. I wish there was a better digital version than the unofficial rip I have.

Last place is a fifteen-way or so tie between songs including You Did Good Kid, We Can Get Together, Wait a While, Navy Sheets, Just Saying, Look Alive, and Southtown Girls.
First place is a 25-way or so tie that includes Constructive, Stuck, Hoodrat, Hornets, Entitlement, Slapped, Cattle, Barfruit, Resurrection, Parties, Spinners, and Our Whole Lives.
Second place is everything else.
I love this band.

It was on the EP that came with the new record, too. Definitely a winner.

I'd like to hear the RAGS songs performed live. Especially Blow Your Mind.
