I wonder who it's arguable with, himself? Or maybe someone else would argue that he is wrong about his favorite?
I hate everything about this tweet AND retweet.

I preordered it from amazon. Also bought a nice copy of The Freedom Rider from discogs a few days ago. At this point, I think only releasing something like a 100% exclusive Pharoah by Pharoah Sanders reissue would get them my money.Judging by the hype the Coltrane will generate in the news, the fact it will likely be public soon, and the rate at which the recent Sonny Rollin's sold out....I wouldn't expect this to make it to swaps.
Hated to after my angry email to anthology yesterday, but I Tina'd …….. these bastards, they have my weakness dialed in.
IMO, Dumb Flesh is fantastic from start to finish. World Eater is pretty good (not as good imo) and this new one hasn't really clicked with me at all yet.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.
If your favourite John Coltrane album is an odds and sods soundtrack that no one noticed a massive difference between new takes and originals for years then you haven’t heard Giant Steps, A Love Supreme, Blue Trane, Coltrane’s Sound, Olé, Offering, Lush Life, etc. To pass over hyperbole (while i’m sure the takes are stellar) as an actual critical opinion is shameful marketing.
I mean you are not wrong and probably right in your assessment, but let's be fair to the guy that tweeted. He said his favourite, not Coltrane's best. I think there is a difference. Albums like A Love Supreme and Giant Steps are arguably Coltrane's best or most important, but for me they aren't my favourite albums of his. It's possible that this album just really clicked with this guy. More likely he is just a hypebeast payed by vmp though
The real trick is how is this guy already listened and digested the whole album that hasn't been released in order for him to pick as his favourite ?
I wonder if blue is his favourite colour?
It is arguably his favorite.I wonder if blue is his favourite colour?
But unless I'm mistaken here, that tweet is just by some random dude. He's got almost no followers, he doesn't appear to be a reviewer or influencer or what have you. So really like... who cares? It's twitter, there's like a zillion uninformed opinions on a zillion topics posted on there daily...Haha, didn't even consider thatI mean theoretically he could have received a test pressing or something like that, but I don't really know why I'm even trying to defend this guy.

I mean unless that's actually that reviewer guy from the Anthology debacle in which case screw him.
Yea, I noticed that too. I thought maybe it’d be an interesting surprise when I opened it, but it’s yellow like the mock up. Maybe they got confused because the label is blue and red. Ridiculous, but VMP doesn’t have the highest QC as we know.So... the Arthur Moon hype sticker says it's tri-colored vinyl but it's definitely yellow like it was supposed to be.
FTFY.Ridiculous, but VMP doesn’t have QC as we know.
Replacement.They delayed my package for this? So much ringwear, there’s a hole! Sounds great at least
