[scotthilk]

Yeah this is already right up my alley. Can't wait to write a review, but will always fresh listen once first!

 

[avecigrec]

About to throw this behemoth of a record on!

Album one is a badass artist. Very much a fan of his early albums, don't know how this one passed me by! Must have come out during a period where I had ZERO money for music... Proud to say that drought passed.

Looks like the 3 eagles have landed and been unboxed, so here we go.

VMD #1...

[avecigrec]

Oh hell yeah! That one's been on my meaning-to-get list for a while now.

 

[Nee Lewman]

Ahh yes, that's a fucking cool record. @Yer Ol' Uncle D bringing the heat. Same, @avecigrec . I have the cd because its from that time right before I got back into vinyl.

I had not realized he put Countach on 8 track which is hella apropos.

Yeah, I shredded the budget this month already.... I'll consider it in November. Looking at his site, Shooter wants me to spend a lot of money.

I probably shouldn't have. But I did.

Huh. Huh huh. Huh huh huh. You said 'budget'.

 

[Nee Lewman]

Huh. Huh huh. Huh huh huh. You said 'budget'.

I mean, if it was just me... I'd eat ramen the rest of the month... I'd have a shit ton more records and both my hepatologist and endochrinologist (whom I don't have yet, doc put in the referral on friday) would have my hide.

Really loved my first run through. Next several will come this week with an accompanying review!

So back in the early-mid 2010's, I interned at a theater in Northern Kentucky. Saw a lot of great artists who came through the venue during that time - Metric, Passion Pit, of Montreal, Neutral Milk Hotel, Local Natives, etc etc.. After my internship was over, I took over their weekly email blast for years in exchange for continued free tickets to shows. I remember Shooter coming through in 2015, but I had to decide because of my work schedule between Shooter or Sturgill Simpson 3 days later. I chose Sturgill because I was familiar with his music, but I regret not pushing myself a little more and going to both.

Happy to be getting familiar with his music finally!

I ordered this album to follow along. Thanks for the heads up @Yer Ol' Uncle D!

 

[Djxfactor511]

Just finished my first listen!

This is some heavy, Twilight Zone, dystopian stoner country rock and I am here. for. it. Like if QOTSA's Songs For The Deaf, Sturgill Simpson's Sound and Fury, and Pink Floyd's world view during The Wall era all had a 3 day long, drug-fueled rager.

And of course Stephen King is the narrator!

Honestly you nailed it. I was thinking Songs For The Deaf meets The Wall when I first heard it. The narriation absolutely makes this a must own album.

Pretty sure @Yer Ol' Uncle D blew his load early on this one because I'd bet the bank that no other album he picks is gonna be this good.
