Fuck yeah, the new album is already up on Spotify!

I know what I'll be listening to on the way to work tomorrow.

I'm seeing Dredg on July 29th, and they're listed as one of the bands to play with them. So I guess I'll be seeing them shortly.

I fucking hate you so much, they're not opening for dredg at the show I'm going to on the 2nd.

The irony is that I'm not even a fan of Fair to Midland

You could say that their sound anchors me down to their arrows.

Listen to Fables From a Mayfly Ravenheart. I've listened to it three times in the past day and its still fantastic.

In other news, my local record store didn't get their shipment of FtM from Koch so I have to wait till tomorrow to get it.

They're so heavy they crushed the Wife, the kids, and the white picket fence while they were playing musical chairs telling tall tales that taste of sour grapes.

Or vice versa.

Better than Fables. Yup.

^Too early to say for me, but it is damn good. It has far exceeded my already high expectations.

Goddamn that would be a perfect show for me.

faemir · « **Reply #152 on:** July 13, 2011, 12:09:03 PM »

My limited edition copy arrived with the bonus track. Aww yeah

skydivingninja · « **Reply #153 on:** July 13, 2011, 12:10:36 PM »

There was a limited edition? Damn if I knew that I would have had mine preordered long ago! Oh well, I should get it today, at least. If not Imma rage.

faemir · « **Reply #154 on:** July 13, 2011, 12:51:33 PM »

It's just the early european pressings - in digipak instead of jewel case, with the bonus song.

Stupid Time Warner cable. They need to get their act together and get me internet access so I can download this!

skydivingninja · « **Reply #158 on:** July 13, 2011, 02:30:22 PM »

Got it today and listened to it on the way home. Its so so good. Really different from Fables, and it might be as strong as it to. It'll need some more listens though.

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #159 on:** July 13, 2011, 03:28:48 PM »

Listened to it today, my first ever exposure to the band.

I really enjoyed it!

skydivingninja · « **Reply #160 on:** July 13, 2011, 03:31:02 PM »

Check out their previous album. Garroh shows off more of his "OMGHIGH" range on it and the music is, as a whole, less heavy. I think I actually find it catchier than A&A.

ariich · « **Reply #161 on:** July 13, 2011, 04:55:12 PM »

Me too. After two listens I don't think A&A matches up to the mastery of Fables, but then Fables is one of my all-time favourites, so I never expected it to match up.

It's still a brilliant album though!

Heretic · « **Reply #162 on:** July 13, 2011, 04:58:47 PM »

I prefer the variety of A&A, there's just so much diversity on the record. It and Fables are neck and neck for me.

I recommend "Orphan Anthem '86" or "A Wolf Descends Upon the Spanish Sahara". Two of my favoritests.

I PROMISE I WILL KILL YOU RIGHT NOW

Did anyone else think of Coheed and Cambria's possible influence on "Uh Oh" and those quoted lyrics to "the Greener Grass"

King Postwhore · « **Reply #166 on:** July 14, 2011, 07:13:47 AM »

I only have Fables from a Mayfly but I like it a lot. I'll pick up the new album tomorrow.

Just saw that they are coming to Orlando Aug 31st, I can't wait to see them.

I wish I could catch one of the dredg + ftm shows.

This song just ended. Might be my favorite section of the album. Either that or TGG.

Heretic · « **Reply #170 on:** July 14, 2011, 11:05:52 PM »

Yeah, GP and TGG are huge standouts. Short-Haired Tornado is also fantastic.

Aefenwelg · « **Reply #171 on:** July 15, 2011, 12:03:37 AM »

Okay, I saw a commercial for this band's new album and I thought it sounded like generic buttrock.

But I just looked them up on wikipedia and one of the genres listed for them is progressive metal.

Could somebody please accurately describe this band?

I like most of the music that is lauded on this forum, so maybe my judgement was too hasty.

Heretic · « **Reply #172 on:** July 15, 2011, 12:06:43 AM »

Hahaha, Fair to Midland is nothing close to generic or buttrock. It's a really odd type of music, actually, somewhere between progressive and alternative rock, with some metal elements thrown in a good bit. They write some crazy stuff with fantastic melodies and really odd yet poetic lyrics, and they're definitely one of the more innovative bands of their "genre," I guess.

Listen to some of their songs, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

j · « **Reply #173 on:** July 15, 2011, 12:17:50 AM »

I'M A WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALE.

Is that what he's saying in track 13?

If so, it's probably the greatest lyric ever written.

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #174 on:** July 15, 2011, 01:23:33 AM »

Spun the new album again, definitely hooked on it!
