some people are beyond help lol

Probably a good thing we got the record early - will stop people from being disappointed it doesn't sound like the live rips.

Documentary stuff could have soured relationships that bad, I guess

So Clouds Hill is just not gonna promo this thing at all huh

Wow they're just playing Lucro straight through, that's so tight. Now I'm extra bummed I can't afford a show.

Hopefully they play something from Lucro Sucio

Holy shit that's cool. Awesome job!

I haven't thought of them but those albums are so good

That one guy on the Facebook group who keeps saying he made the leak with AI is actually so constant with his posts that a few people actually believe him and it's doing my head in. Actually feel like I just need to leave that group at this stage because of it! So annoying. I feel like the part abo...

I am still loving the album but have also been trying to stay away from it before the official release.

I'm totally in agreement about Poseedora - the beat is so great and so hip hop, would love to see Omar explore more in that direction in the future.

Something I note about this album is the heavy and prominent use of vocal fx, probably more so on this album than any other since DitC? I feel like after watching If This Ever Gets Weird that the vocal processing was a core tenet of early TMV in some way to them, and that might be part of the 'hark...

really wish I had even the slightest idea what this man is saying on Fin

Ok, maybe I’m way off base here but it just hit me like a ton of bricks while listening to Voice In My Knives. Could LP8 finally be that “spy theme” album that someone mentioned hearing a looong time ago? I can’t even remember the exact details, but I remember this being discussed on The Comatorium...

Is there a way to make this gapless? Not to be the guy bitching about an amazing opportunity to get an early listen (and thank you to those that led the way), but with so many songs broken up into sections those gaps really ruin the flow, build ups, ect. I read on reddit (I know, I know...) that th...

Love this one, and the way it comes back in on the following song is hilarious in such a Volta way. Love it.

man that Zed leak was amazing, good times

Maullidos seems to maybe be about the ritual sacrifice of a woman via drowning. Perhaps she is the Storm Queen mentioned in one of other track titles and that postcard? If she's so important to the album's concept, maybe this is a ghost story of some kind.

As much as the drums are pretty forgettable on this album, the bass really shines. Wonder if it's Eva playing.

Cue The Sun for the first single, Un Disparo Al Vacio for the second imo

Dear friend introduced me to Deloused right around the time they were touring with Soundgarden pre-Noct. Saw them at that show and never looked back.

Do you guys think the band will do anything about the leak? Or they dont care about a couple of nerds listening early? Maybe they might drop this on streaming soonish? Or maybe it leaked because it was gonna be a surprise release It's a Record Store Day release, maybe it's tied up in that? I think ...

I absolutely adore this album right now. First listen had me CONFUSED which is a great sign for a new TMV album imo. The old records all took some time to worm their way into my brain. Yeah my first reaction being confusion is a good thing, usually a sign that there's a lot to digest and that it wi...

Feel like this is going to be even more divisive than S/T or Octo were. What a strange little gift they've given us.

Can't wait to start digging through lyrics, this definitely reeks of Concept Album and I'm curious to know exactly what's going on.

that is, uh, gonna take SEVERAL listens to unpack for me. Easily the weirdest thing they've released together under any name.
