I saw it. You jelly?

ZBomber · « **Reply #2031 on:** September 28, 2011, 09:01:38 PM »

Yes.

EDIT - For some reason, I never noticed how incredible the piano during the verses of Red Hands is until a week ago. Every time I hear it now, I completely focus on it. So haunting and beautiful.

I wasn't taking it personally at all, I just honestly can't see a problem with the sound on Act III. And it's not like I'm blind (deaf) to overcompression, as some albums really annoy me with it. I guess maybe I just have a different threshold.

I think the actual music might have something to do with it as well. Act III is much more dynamic musically than SC.

Just got the CD of Act II yesterday, and it osunds AMAZING! The Lake and The River is such an amazing song and the last 5 songs are an incredible run.

I wish I got to see Black Sandy Beaches live, but they played it a couple before/after my show.

That song is definitely a fan favorite and a song that gets played very frequently, so I'm sure it'll work it's way back into their set lists soon enough.

Act III clips all the time, it's pretty annoying.

Act II sounds far better.

I remember Casey saying he wanted to remaster Act I and possibly Act II to bring them up to Act III quality, which worries me a little.

Dug up and dusted off from the deepest corners of the internet:

"Red Wine" by Enter Saints (the only released demo from the 2007 collaboration-that-never-came-to-be between Casey and Brandon Saller from Atreyu).

He's the best part of Atreyu, always loved his voice. That song is pretty great.

I had a bizarre dream last night.

I dreamt I was one of 9 prisoners in a POW camp. We were each assigned a Color Spectrum EP. We were forced to sing songs from our EP one by one for the prison guard's amusement. However, whenever someone else would start singing, I would constantly interrupt them with an over-dramatic rendition of the OH MYYYYYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOD line from This Body. The prison guards got pissed off, shot me, and I woke up.

The Color Spectrum sounds/looks perfect, so I guess that's a good sign. I don't know much about the workings of Act III, but I'm wondering if the record company interfered to give it more of a "punch", kind of like what you mentioned in the other thread about Deadwing/IA.

CD version comes out on Nov. 1 according to their Facebook. Good lord I hope this will be at the local music store.

Zantera · « **Reply #2039 on:** October 05, 2011, 11:12:14 AM »

Must get it!

Must get it!

Also the wooden box version is a bit gay... 85$ (standard is 30$) for a poster and a box... made of wood. The rest is identical to the standard version.

ZeppelinDT · « **Reply #2041 on:** October 05, 2011, 12:13:22 PM »

Ordered.

Also has a cool video of Red Hands from the Brooklyn fan club show back in May.

zxlkho · « **Reply #2042 on:** October 05, 2011, 12:13:56 PM »

Did you get the box?

ZeppelinDT · « **Reply #2043 on:** October 05, 2011, 12:24:21 PM »

Lol... do you really even have to ask?

I guess that really depends on what the poster looks like. I mean, individually hand screened from a woodblock and signed and numbered by Casey and Cameron... this sounds like a legitimate art print rather than just a cheap "poster". And knowing Cameron Thorne, it's gonna look pretty badass.

glaurung · « **Reply #2044 on:** October 05, 2011, 12:34:20 PM »

What does it mean for a poster to be "screened"?

ZeppelinDT · « **Reply #2045 on:** October 05, 2011, 12:43:43 PM »

I think this is basically what they're doing:

glaurung · « **Reply #2046 on:** October 05, 2011, 01:19:06 PM »

I can sort of see why it's going to be more expensive then.

ZeppelinDT · « **Reply #2047 on:** October 05, 2011, 01:20:40 PM »

If you just take a quick scan of the artists blog you can see he doesn't half-ass stuff.

Just check out this post on how he made the cover for the Indigo EP - https://cameronthornedesign.tumblr.com/post/6560964792/tdh-indigo-high-res-cover-debut-tedious

ZBomber · « **Reply #2048 on:** October 05, 2011, 01:31:08 PM »

I was going to buy the boxset, but I already got the vinyl one and don't have 85 bucks + shipping. Also yeah, the box itself is kinda ugly... I actually like the standard one better.

Poster should be cool though, that would be why I would get it if I was going to.

ZeppelinDT · « **Reply #2049 on:** October 05, 2011, 01:41:39 PM »

I do agree that the actual box itself is not the most visually appealing thing in the world...

ariich · « **Reply #2050 on:** October 05, 2011, 01:52:20 PM »

HELL YES

Chris, any idea where this is going to be distributed? Like, will it come out in the UK through standard channels (like Amazon)? Or should I just import it from the US? I'm just referring to the regular edition, not the box set.

glaurung · « **Reply #2051 on:** October 05, 2011, 01:56:21 PM »

I doubt this is going to be available when I see them next week, huh?

ZeppelinDT · « **Reply #2052 on:** October 05, 2011, 02:00:39 PM »

@Rich - Not sure. I assume it'll be distributed through regular channels but I'll throw up a post on the TDH boards to see if I can get an answer.

@glaurung - My assumption is no, but you never know. It's not officially released until November 1st, but I know they had the sampler CD available at shows a few weeks prior to release, so it wouldn't shock me if they had this too.

Great, thanks dude. You're my go-to guy for all things TDH related.

I'm just gonna get the standard package, and use the savings to get a shirt or something.

Quote from: casey crescenzo

here is what is in the bonus dvd features-

4 songs from the APK show we did in the loft in brooklyn (church and the dime, home, red hands, weve got a score to settle)
a feature on the trip across country thats about an hour and 20 minutes and has 7 (i think) acoustic performances
3 videos on the recording process (really just clips that are strung together- not enough cohesive material to make a 'plot' based approach to the tracking process...

i think its about 17 minutes for the orange video
16 minutes for the blue/yellow video
and 22 minutes for the white/violet video...

there are no videos for the other recordings as there was no videographer with me...

SO that is whats on the dvd... i dont know why they didnt include that in the product description.

zxlkho · « **Reply #2056 on:** October 05, 2011, 10:09:46 PM »

I want that.

Xanthul · « **Reply #2057 on:** October 05, 2011, 11:20:10 PM »

So, while the box set will be limited, it doesn't say anything about the regular edition. I guess that one is not limited right? Will I be able to get it months from now without much problem? I want it but I already have the vinyls so for now I'd rather get some other stuff that I'm missing before getting these CDs.

glaurung · « **Reply #2058 on:** October 09, 2011, 06:10:10 PM »

Listening to all of the Acts tonight and The Color Spectrum tomorrow in preparation for Tuesday's show.

Super Dude · « **Reply #2059 on:** October 09, 2011, 06:24:41 PM »

Is TDH an 'indie' band? Something I've been thinking about lately.

zxlkho · « **Reply #2060 on:** October 09, 2011, 06:32:13 PM »

They're kind indie I guess... the Acts are more just progressive rock, and The Color Spectrum is more straightforward.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #2061 on:** October 09, 2011, 06:34:10 PM »

I'd say they are. Playing small venues, the Yellow, Indigo, Green, and White EPs, they're on an independent label, they love vinyl, BEARDS...yeah, definitely indie.

zxlkho · « **Reply #2062 on:** October 09, 2011, 06:36:42 PM »

Yellow and Green are more folkish imo (especially Green)

That's probably all that needed to be said. So indie.

Both sound like something I could imagine coming from a lot of indie bands.
