I'm very late to the party here, but I was waiting to receive the album in the mail before I could have an opinion on it. It arrived a couple days ago and I gave it a full listen yesterday. Now, I have only listened to it once, but I paid full attention the whole way through.

Basically, I thought it was amazing. Their voices do indeed sound great together and personally I thought the songwriting was very good and for a handful tracks, even perfect. The music is varied and has a lot of really vibrant, atmospheric and beautiful instrumentation going on. A++ for the production quality as well. I really, really liked it. Gonna listen to it some more when I have time later today, but I am more than pleased with it so far.

A couple of the five or six songs that stood out as being especially amazing to me:

I think the last full album I got was "Human Clay" by Creed, when it first came out. Since then, I've only downloaded individual songs.

So you're not really into listening to full albums? I personally really love the full album experience. I also listen to playlists of selected songs, but mostly entire albums front to back.

I don't mind full albums, but it's rare that I like that much of a particular album. I think the last full album I listened to without skipping anything was "Foiled" by Blue October. Usually I end up getting bored with a song here and there, and skip it.

I can be very moody and particular about what music I want to listen to. Spotify hates me (and I hate it) because of that "YOU ALREADY SKIPPED THREE SONGS ******* YOU CAN'T SKIP NO MO'!" feature. I like YouTube, because I can skip around at a whim and play whatever I want, when I want.

It's not all albums that play well in full. I've got folders on my computer with good songs I've kept from albums that were super inconsistent.

Try the album mentioned above :D (or don't, but for what it's worth, I think it's great all the way through)

Very odd messages coming from the Hardy Fox/Charles Bobuck camp.
It appears that "The Residents" founder may have some kind of brain cancer -
of which he is in a somewhat delirious state where he's been already posting
his birth-death dates next to his name (1945-2018).
I guess it wasn't called The Cryptic Corporation for nothing...

That's ****ing amazing and makes me feel guilty for never having listened to the Residents.

Yeah, it's kinda sad, but interesting in a kind of "Residents" way.
On a favorite forum, I brought this thing up about his birth-death dates
being stuck on his Bandcamp pages and a guy there wrote him to find out what's up.
The answered email had him saying in a kind of whimsical manner that he has
"something in my brain that will last to a brief end ... Brains go down ..."
and that the doctor has him on drugs ... and other stuff about
"reducing a lot of old Bandcamp stuff. If you need titles grab now..." and
sending a batch of other things to Klanggalerie for them to sort thru, and on, and on...
In an interview last year, he only mentioned not being able to tour anymore
because of severe arthritis and general older-age wear-and-tear, but I have to think
that things have gotten worse. I'm guessing that he's in hospice.

At least he can still come across as a morbidly humorous weirdo online. Imma go check out an album or two before the day is done.

Still haven't got this yet as I haven't had chance but I assume you both liked it?
