anyone have the ability to rip it yet?  i am on my laptop, and don't have what i need to rip it properly.  any takers? 

[gwenudo]

Someone please rip it.. i cant listen to it on my phone.. luis!? Anybody?!

[N0S3BLEED976]

My first impression: meh.

Very dissonant with cringe-inducing vocals by Chino. Not beautiful at all...

I can, but I'm on air now (work in a radio station) wait and in 20 minutes you will have it.

So goooooooood!!!

[Bifrost]

I dig it but I think Tropics was better- I'm looking forward to this album

I want to go see them in Solana Beach

quoted the wrong post.  my bad.  but thank you so much, man.  i wish i could rip it right now, but alas.  and the original post in response to this being 'meh'...:  My God, I feel the complete opposite.  This almost makes me wish Chino would just concentrate on Palms from now on.  Both songs blow away any of Koi No Yokan or Crosses, in my humble opinion.  I'm amazed.

[Bifrost]

i like that album art too, looks sweet

The instruments are pretty good. Especially the drums from Aaron have a nice beat and the guitars are good as well. I guess Chino kind of ruins it for me. Maybe it's his new style of singing or the production on his vocals. I don't know, but those stretched, crooned vocals are so penetrant and annoingly high pitched. I already had problems with some of Chino's vocals on Koi No Yokan, like on Graphic Nature. It's the same thing. High pitched crooning that feel like they'll pearce your ear drums every moment. I kind of miss how Chino used to sing on Diamond Eyes. His vocals on songs like You've Seen The Butcher were so sexy!
