    This record is an absolute banger - it sounds as if they're playing their hearts out and features some of the best playing from each and every one of them....but man, Shawn's vocals on 'Straight to the hoop' - they cut deep!

    Such a loss, but such a body of work to enjoy for many years to come.

    Straight to the Hoop is one of my favorites.

    The lyric from Meadow in Autumn "The moral of the story is treat your people well
    Give thanks to those around us, ’cause you never can tell
    When the trouble come to us there won't be time to play." Damn

    Has anyone in Canada find any of the indie release of Brad's Shame & In the Moment That You're Born locally?

    I'm still waiting from various USA record stores who have said they haven't received their stock in yet.

    Got mine from Electric Fetus a few weeks ago. The Monday after release day.

    I had a pre order set with Rough Trade US for months. They still haven't received any copies. They updated their item pages with "notify me".  Cancelled with them and went with Good Records To Go. They have both indie editions in stock. Shipped out the other day.

    It may be recency bias - but I love this album and put it behind shame but close to interiors.

    I can get on board with that - it feels like it's a composite of the best bits from all of their albums but with a strong 'Shame' vibe overall

    Just an FYI for those perhaps still waiting, received In the Moment on white vinyl and the 30th anniversary version of Shame on CD from Brooklyn Vegan today in Ontario, Canada.

    I haven’t listened to a lot of Brad over the years. Interiors - yes, a few of the singles at the time and I’m loving the new record! One record I’ve been checking out is United We Stand. To me it’s a real banger! I love it. More so than Interiors tbh. There are a few songs that really stand out for me. Some beautiful slower tracks, a few big riff rockers and some very good mid tempo pop rockers.
