Just to piggyback on my previous post, just got this update on that shipment… hmmm

Thank you so much for your support and for pre-ordering the vinyl! We wanted to inform you that you will be receiving your signed vinyl for the release date.

I think it’s a signed postcard or insert. I wish it was the cover as well.

I cannot follow this email lol.  Guess I'll just wait and see what I get in the mail.  

Recently got an MJ Lenderman signed postcard which was included in the vinyl (signature not on the cover)

My guess is it's like this Dawes situation where they sent me a sealed record and also a separate signed gatefold jacket.

So Jim announced on the livestream the other night that a 20th anniversary edition of Z is coming out this year.

Not my favorite upon the first few times through, but it’s a very effortless listen. Great flow.

Agreed.  Nothing jumped out at me yet, but a pleasant listen start to finish.  At 39 mins - a bit short, but happy with new music.  

For any fellow Canadians - I get Sam Roberts vibes throughout.

Three listens in and I'm very happy with this album.  It won't rank near their top for me but it won't be the bottom either.  It is cohesive and has a solid flow, and has been getting my three year old daughter to dance, which is most important lol

S/T and is I enjoy listening to front to back. Last one before them was Evil Urges. Circuital and The Waterfalls have some great songs but they also really drag for me in stretches.

CantKeepmedown

Enjoying what I'm hearing so far. Looking forward to the weekend when I can focus a bit more and not be distracted by work.  Plenty of time to get very familiar with it as shows are still 6-7 months away. 

SVRDhand13

I like the Waterfalls a lot more than self titled.  

On another note, hoping they bring out Magic Bullet this tour.

This would probably be 5th or 6th for me but nothing is touching the first 4!

Just got through with my first listen...

The tracks that stand out to me are all on side 2: Beginning From The Ending, Die For It, and River Road.

On the whole, I'm hearing some new things and them stretching out while at the same time grounded in what makes MMJ, MMJ. Can't wait to hear the tracks live as some of them have the potential to reach double digits like PWW, SE, and D.

It’s probably a little early to rank the album but here’s my feeling right now. I see 3 distinctive chunks (1-4; 5-7; 8-10):

1. Z
2. ISM
3. TTF
4. AD
-------
5. C
6. W1
7. Is
-------
8. EU
9. W2
10. MMJ

I won't place "Is" yet.  Need about 50 more listens and hear the songs live. I realize my list may be unpopular with other MMJ fans.  

Z
Evil Urges
At Dawn
Circuital
It Still Moves
The Tennessee Fire
Waterfall 2
Waterfall 
Self titled 

And I got to hear my top 3 from front to back live! 

ComeToTX

I’ve heard their first 7 albums front to back live!

I also love Evil Urges. It's their No Code.

Cobra (I kid I kid, but seriously)
It Still Moves
Z
At Dawn

The first 3 can move weekly, then:

Evil Urges
Circuital
Waterfall
Self Titled
Waterfall 2
Tennessee Fire

So far I enjoy Is but nothing is really sticking out at this point, but we'll see.

darthvedder

I want to put a conspiracy theory out there that they named it "is" because it alphabetically comes right before "It Still Moves"

Not bad. No meandering 8 min songs which is a plus. Some great tracks, some decent and 1 or 2 I’ll never listen to again. I’m sure some of these will sound amazing live.

I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet. Gonna try sometime this weekend to give it a listen.
