The album is released? 

I love their sound from Only by the night and forward (yes you read that right). 
Might be a bit same-y. But they have are really fucking even. And just superbly produced albums. 

I really dig the last one, even if you could tell their "peak" is over and they have to come to terms with being a great rockband again, and not the "it thing" anymore. 

You’re gonna love this one. 

Enjoying it so far!

Nice! It’s got a great vibe to it. I get a different song stuck in my head everyday so far

I think I've only listened to WALLS once.
Might need to change that...

Has anyone bought the new vinyl off of the Yellow Heart site yet?

I did. For anyone who isn't familiar with the process, it will likely be frustrating.

@madtowndave it was very frustrating! Finally figured out what to do. YellowHeart could of done a better job of explaining what to do.

I just looked at yellow heart.  The goldeneye vinyl looks so cool.  How the hell do you buy it?!

I’ve got the bands website exclusive and my buddy in Nashville just grabbed the signed copy for me.  If they can’t make it easy, I may be fine with what I have thus far.

Have a song sounded more Kings of Leon than "Supermarket"?

It seems like bands release so many different limited exclusives. Good for their sales and creating a buzz. I'm trying not to get caught up in it. Fun though if you have the cash and time.

You have to create an Ethereum wallet, they recommend MetaMask, submit documentation and a selfie to verify your identity, then fund the wallet, then complete your purchase. By the time all was said and done, I think I paid approximately $120 for the NFT. In addition to the cost of the KoL record/download, you also have to pas a Gas Fee for the Ethereum.

A fantastic pressing too. 2 records, and boy does the bass shine! Especially on 'Fairytale'.

100,000 lyrics take on a whole new life and really hit close to home after hearing Caleb talk about them.

I’m pretty sure it was discussed in their interview with Zane. It’s on Apple Music. My grandmother suffered from dementia and it ultimately took her. I was her caretaker and it’s just such a terrible disease. This verse really hits me 

Parlor games and six o'clock news
Hands of a stranger touching you
Wide awake incased in a dream
Everything is not as it seems
All your time is heaven sent
Days and the nights all start to blend
It's not like this town to set you free
The more you look the less you see

Yeah that’s too much work and money For an album I have two copies of.  I’ve already got ethereum in Coinbase, no need to spread out to multiple locations.  Thanks for the directions though!
