Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

What the hell, this happens every month now. My Crumb was scratched up and they were out of replacements before mine even arrived. Either there are some big time scammers out there just immediately claiming extra copies or VMP is pressing like 10 extra copies of every release and calling it a day.

Right?! I opened and spun as soon as I received it. Immediately emailed. No dice. Color me frustrated.

I gave their last album a try and it wasn't for me. But this description has inspired me to try this one now.

*Edit: I immediately understand the Mortal Kombat feelings now.

I really enjoy Blanck Mass, not yet enough to purchase a record. This one might change that. Problem I usually have is that listening to Blanck Mass just makes me want to return to the Fuck Buttons album Tarot Sport, which I think is the best work this artist has been involved in making.

So what're your thoughts compared to the last album? I gave the last one a shot based on forum hype and it was NOT. MY. KINDA. PARTY.

I'm only on track 4, so no real judgement yet. It's been awhile since the last one, but I remember it was a little too experimental and abrasive for my taste. I like those elements, but sometimes it's too much for me. I remember World Eater felt like work to get through and I honestly don't remember if I ever made it through the whole album in a single sitting.
This one is certainly a little brighter and more structured. Honestly it has a pretty heavy video game vibe so far. Video games mixed with very fasted paced techno. Kind of has a late 90s warehouse rave vibe? I could see that being fitting for a description. I could see this being the soundtrack for a dangerous mix of Molly and Red Bull fueled evening.
All in all, it's certainly more digestible than I remember World Eater being.

Edit - On track 6 now. This feels like it would be good workout music to me.
Edit - Since I'm basically live posting now, the final track is more of what I remember from World Eater. Maybe still a little less abrasive, but certainly started off more abrasive than the rest of this album. Overall, this album is more approachable though. I could see a lot of new fans getting on board with this one. I don't think I need to own it, but I found this one more enjoyable.
