Circuital Has... Arrived!!!

Tieoptional · May 25, 2011, 03:29 PM

Mailman just delivered the CD in Micheegan. :D

Perhaps, since it had been leaked, they just decided to go ahead and send them out.

Hand-written lyric sheets, with doodles, for all the songs, printed on the back of a fold-poster with scenes from the "gym."

CD inner sleeve has the band dressed as "moon men" (sort of the MMJ version of Beatles eggmen, walrus, etc., costume). Spooky. Looks like they might be standing in a shower room (in the church?).

I have downloaded to my Mac (lossless) and it is currently thundering out through my DAC and Audirvana player for some fine listening enjoyment.

The sound quality is definitely a step up from anything we have heard so far (leaked mp3; NPR stream). When someone rips the vinyl to 24/96 flac it will really be something! PM me if you are getting the vinyl and have the ability to do a quality rip, please.

Very Jealous! I haven't even received an email saying it has shipped. It only has ten songs on it, right? The NPR article that streams the CD stated eleven which I imagine is someone's inability to count.

Yep. 10 really nice songs.

I am still really surprised to have this in hand already.

Kind of like when the baby comes early.

Mine was just delivered.. very nice.

Don't mean to ruin any surprises, but I just saw a close-up pic of the green vinyl and this puppy has been mastered at 45RPM!

For us audiophiles out there, I have to say this is unbelievably great news.

JMK....is that the deluxe edition or just the standard vinyl?

Also, the Roll Call stuff looks awesome! Glad I ordered it....the tshirt and poster are a lot cooler than I expected it to be.

j_rud · May 25, 2011, 05:37 PM

This album is pretty gawdamm ridiculous. Really smooth, and when it starts to rock it almost sneaks up on you. It's gonna be a kick in the balls live...

I hope the regular vinyl is 45rpm too.

I just wish that they were offering downloads at something higher than 16/44. I am considering buying the vinyl just so I can have someone with the proper equipment rip it at 24/192 so I can hear it how it is supposed to be heard: studio master quality.
