Will this album be full of...



...excellent guitar riffs?

melly, its shellac isnt it? its gonna be as goos as a shellac record.. 7 years wait is nearly over

my little game of quick double posting spot the difference!!!!

LOL. I was referring to an old Simpson episode, where Homer plays air guitar to the song "2 Tickets to Paradise".

I am ready to shellac! they played houston lats year! highlight of my rock existance!

Boom! Shellac-Shellac-Shellac the room!

hahahahaha, i think he says "major" guitar riff...

i might pre-order it, i have a lot of stuff on my wish list for this month alone: mxbx, neurosis, now shellac...

Shellac are one of the better live acts I've seen. I want to go again, just not in Chicago this time.

i know melly, i was just stating the obvious in a fun kinda way... and am i the only person in the world who doesnt know the meaning of LOL?????????
im text language illiterate, i think the most important letters are the ones that are missng........

LOL = Laugh Out Loud (or: augh ut oud). I used to think it meant "Lots Of Love"...

shellac are the best band i've ever seen live. loved them. their song structures are perfect. "Crow" is easily one of the best-written songs of all time.

i've never been disappointed with a shellac release.. in fact, i don't think they even have a song i dislike (...okay, "new number order", but it's short). and the new songs they've been playing live are amazing. so, yeah, obviously, it's going to be great. i hope there's another 12 minute song on it!

adam, spot on! shellac is shellac.... quality is assured!!!
my favourite shellac tracks are not on any of the albums. wingwalker and doris fucking rule!

melly, ever the educator... i too thought it was lots of love for a while.........
i now get the full meaning of yr original posting!!! and LOL indeed!

this album is fucking shellac. its fucking great. roll on the release date!!!

Is It Leaked Or Something?

Oh wow, thanks for the heads up... I didn't even bother checking indietorrents or oink because I remember reading something about them not having promo copies etc... although I guess with the release date being as close as june 5th it's just a retail copy that's leaked.

Of course, it's wrong and there's hardly any band in the universe more anti-downloading than Shellac etc... but I can't resist the sneak peak, even though I did already hear some of the songs live last week.

took me exacly 2 minutes and 9 seconds to get it complete; listening already. :o

a new Shellac is much much needed

It leaked at the weekend.. (that's when I first noticed it was up somewhere anyway.. could've been earlier.. I wasn't really looking.)

I'm not grabbing it. I don't want Albini coming round and eating my goldfish.

Pre-ordered mine about a week ago and i'm not spoiling this! Plus I fear the great shriek of albini if he were to pick me out of a crowd for downloading it. I hope they do some US touring after europe.

Oh Fuck

Getting This Now

I'm guessing it has leaked yesterday, because that's when it was added to indietorrents and oink and when the inevitable downloading discussion on Electricial Audio started (maybe the earlier ones were fake?). Anyway, not important. Whoever leaked it on IT says his/her online store sent it one week early by accident. Not a smart thing to disclose I think; neither is leaking stuff prior to release date. I felt dirty listening to it.

Dumbest question at Paradiso last week: "Will the new album be released on vinyl?"... Jesus fucking Christ. :rolleyes:

wow

this album is amazing

hahaha

i wonder if the vinyl will have the cd with it

definitely buying this shit.

album is stunning. i downloaded it yes but purely for the 7 year itch of not hearing any new shellac but fuck of course ill buy it, the packaging is gonna be great as there is now 2 different covers, the dog and this one....

and everyone should treat downloading as taste testers, buy it if u like it. thats always been my filesharing thinking anyway........

adam, u got yr epic tracks anyway!!!!!

fuck yeah two of the tracks take up almost half the disc, hahaha.

excellent.

i mean this makes me so happy.

you don't understand.

i've loved this band for 9 years.

i feel like it's a gift for me.

and it's the longest records of theirs.

fuck.

You haven't said anything about what the music on the album sounds like, still you are worrying about the leaking of it, its length and such stupid matters. Of course you'd buy the thing after it leaked, or so I would expect of anyone. Not doing so would make you a leech, not a fan.

pork.krop... the music is shellac.... nuff said....

yeah i couldn't wait either. after seeing them twice at atp last week.
i was slightly concerned how some of these new/old tracks would come out after having played them for so long.
but i'm not disappointed in the slightest. . . .
i presume people on here have the peel session versions of the end of radio and paco from 2004. those are real treats and i was wondering if they could be bettered. end of radio is very similar/less urgent/builds more succesfully but excludes martina navratilova . . . i like your name martina navratilova. which is fine with me.
but if you're after a general sort of opinion i'd say that the records are a step down from the live performances . . .
well, yeah.

Most of these songs have been played live in the past 3 years or so.
I was pretty sure The End of Radio wasn't going to be as good as the live versions I saw (especially the last one) and indeed it wasn't on first listening, but I'd need to hear it more often to be sure.

Expect a bunch of shellac pics on this board tomorrow.

yeah, it's fantastic, reminds me of terraform.

terraform is quickly approaching my favorite actually... though i guess nothing could ever top at action park, but...

"Didn't we deserve", "this is a picture", and "canada" are 3 of my favorite shellac songs (besides "crow" of course).

i'd say the new album, after listening to it 3 or 4 times is their second best recording. it feels so spacious. also, the music itself is a lot more interesting; they're even tighter (how?!) and more complex. and every song ends the same. it's delightful.

love the new version of "spoke".

I'm listening to it.
Got to elephant (homage/rip off of Gang of Four vocal styling?) - and I'm sure there are more which haven't come to me yet.
Anyway, first impression on first half of the album: love it.

Is Shellac getting old on me?
It sounds like it.
Though this has to be my favorite album.

Yes! doesn't it come out on the 5th though???

copper, you'll never be gold.... terraform isa grower but i still love 1000hurts. this new one has been on loop in my ca for the past 5 days. its awesome......
the release date has been pushed back by a week i think......

mine is shipping too from amazon.. the release dates are a bit screwy on this one it seems
