Pre-Order Thread



I don't know if this was ever posted on here. I'm not sure exactly when this reissue came out except for this year. (the clear pressing. Black pressing was back in 2018)

Belong - October Language

Essential Ambient/Shoegaze. At least that's what I used to call it way back when it first came out in 2006.
 
Definitely prefer both those albums to Lifeblood, but there's not much they've done I don't like in some way. They did seem rejuvenated post-Send Away the Tigers, though.

And yes, "The Everlasting" is not good. I don't have a problem with This Is My Truth overall, but the first time I heard that, it sounded like Foreigner or something. Weird they took "Nobody Loved You" off the anniversary edition instead of that, and even weirder that they didn't make "Prologue to History" the leadoff track in place of it, instead of placing it between "Black Dog" and "SYMM" where it just sounds out of place.

The new Know Your Enemy seems to have been put together more thoughtfully.
Nobody Loved You is a hidden track on the reissue (at least it is on the cd version) ...
 
Yeah, I love both that and Rewind the Film – which I suppose comprised a second attempt at their original idea for KYE. It's a shame they play the US so infrequently, because I'd love to hear some of the songs off those albums live. I saw them in 2009 when they toured Journal for Plague Lovers and in 2015 when they did The Holy Bible straight through and they were brilliant both times.

Yes those are the two tours where I was finally able to see them, despite them being my favorite band since I was 11 years old. Got to meet Nicky and Sean after the THB show too which was wonderful. I’ve been super pleased with almost all of their post-Lifeblood output with the small exception of Resistance is Futile. Not a bad album by any means but not a favorite. Ultra Vivid Lament was fantastic.
 
NEW RHCP ALBUM!!!!!!! (Yes, they just released one...)


Exclusive limited tour version bone colored vinyl 2LP. Includes a print of the setlist from the opening night of the band’s North American Stadium Tour in Denver, CO, handwritten by Anthony Kiedis.

This offer only available to US purchasers. Limit 4 per customer. Orders not conforming to these limitations will be cancelled.

We went in search of ourselves as the band that we have somehow always been. Just for the fun of it we jammed and learned some old songs. Before long we started the mysterious process of building new songs. A beautiful bit of chemistry meddling that had befriended us hundreds of times along the way. Once we found that slip stream of sound and vision, we just kept mining. With time turned into an elastic waist band of oversized underwear, we had no reason to stop writing and rocking. It felt like a dream. When all was said and done, our moody love for each other and the magic of music had gifted us with more songs than we knew what to do with. Well we figured it out. 2 double albums released back to back. The second of which is easily as meaningful as the first or should that be reversed. 'Return of the Dream Canteen' is everything we are and ever dreamed of being. It’s packed.

Made with the blood of our hearts.

Yours Truly,

the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Why the fork hasn’t this been announced on their social media yet?

How many variants are we expecting of this ?
 
So far there aren’t as many out as there were at this time when the last one dropped. I’m hoping they reel it in here. I grabbed the bone variant. Probably wouldn’t buy another unless it was extremely compelling.
I like the album art. And I'm always happy when bands do this kind of thing. It's a fun surprise for the fans. I'm not huge into RHCP, but still think it's an exciting thing they've done with two double albums this year.
 
I spun my copy that came in today and it sounds pretty pretty good. Flat and clean is about all I can hope for these days.
Thanks! LitA turned my copy around almost instantly. Arrived today. So far, first side is absolutely silent and sounds killer. In addition to your feedback, I also realized I was mistaken to begin with bc it’s not a LitA release, so my concerns about their pressing quality were misplaced.
