mine too
okay, its a week late, but I did get my stuff ordered :D
with free shipping to boot.
eh, I had to use my sister's credit card and she has a pretty low limit on it, so I couldn't really shell out as much I wanted to but, two books and a cd. that works. I swapped Ten Pieces with Figment Sage, because it was longer, and I thought it might be better.
excitement. :D
YAY!!!
so i finally got the CD, not either of the books, those'll probably come tomorrow. I guess shipping everything separately is more cost efficient...curious.
right now, something for nothing is at 22:42; but i think i can fairly judge the album at this point. and my judgment is, i like it. its artistic, and vastly different, but its quite good. especially if you pay attention to the small details. fantastic prison's drums are fierce and that's one of my favorite tracks from the album, though to my dismay the shortest. most of the previously unreleased songs are short, but still good. state o teh union sounds longer and the background music is a somewhat different from the original NG one if I remember correctly. and Something For Nothing, specifically the second half (around 17 minutes in for those keeping score at home) is pretty epic. its meaningful and closes off the album in a way that feels rewarding. the general feel of this album is a bit different not only because its mostly electronic, but because its not about hating everyone as much as it is about hating/loving one. and almost every song is about being in a prison. i haven't listened thoroughly enough to pick out lyrics, but just the idea seems very concept albumy to me. and yeah, its really something that you have to sit down and listen to rather than just pick out certain songs. which i have no problem with, most of my favorite albums are like that. they've got a bigger meaning and just toy with your mind more. like musics an opiate and i need harder shit.
definitely epic, definitely good, definitely worth the money and the wait.
RiotFlash approved..now for those books. :D
DOUBLE YAY!!
wow, you like 'fantastic prison'? awesome. shows you never know... glad you liked the drums specifically. those will pretty much be my default drum set for future recordings. i added 3 tools to my arsenal right near the end of recording, 1) giant guitar amp (you can hear some feedback in 'This Is It' from recording the new solo guitar overtop the old one), 2) a whammy bar (free with amp, lol), and 3) that drum sound set.
lol shit! there is a running theme! it IS a concept album!

I actually laughed out loud at
"and again, god knows where the hell it actually comes from, hopefully a nice country, right?"
im excited as fuck right now. i mean shit, this is awesome.
i think ill be able to get NSM bought by tonight, since its a weekend and all.
maybe even Sleeping With Ross...it sounds sexy enough. i'll see, depends on my totals. that's like the chap stick you throw in your cart at the biglots checkout.
no offense. that's tasteless of me to say.
this is a well-written advertisement by the way, just thought you should know. i didnt plan on buying figment sage until now. you're playing me like a violin. at least it sounds nice.
im going to go get me a bucket for my ejaculation listen to the s4n six mix. keep up the good work, im way overly excited for this stuff. :D

lol "sounds sexy enough" - the marketing department in my head are all high-fiving each other. they were a little put off by the chapstick comment, but only because they didn't really get it at first, and then they just high-fived each other all over again anyway. a sale's a sale! :P
