So what’s this shit I’m reading about people who got their pre-order from Hatchet Gear direct not getting them with anything 3D on it?

Does anyone actually care about a shiny cover? Like I kind of thought the point in getting an album would be to listen to it, not admire how pretty it looks. 

I’m still waiting for mine to come in but I’ve been streaming it from SPIN and it doesn’t sound like anything to be complaining about. 

I did not receive my pre-order but I went ahead and bought it at Best Buy.  I knew my pre-order wouldn’t arrive on time, it never does.  In fact, the only reason I pre-ordered it at all was to get the limited edition cover.  So if I don’t get it, yeah I’ll be pissed.  Also, no music video today, they are (apparently) filming one this week though.

Not ESPECIALLY, but if you read the wristband instore thread you can see why it just adds to my frustration…

I mean, I understand your frustration, I guess I just don’t share it. My only concern when it comes to an album is if I can afford it and if I enjoy it. Both those boxes are checked, so personally, I’m satisfied with it.

I pre-ordered from amazon,hoping it’d arrive on time, or early like the last lotus album did, but it didn’t ship until today, but I’m still listening to it.

Was Verne Gagne just hanging on until this dropped?

The album is dope, IMO. 

He was almost 90, but yes — the only reason he hung onto the last few minutes of his life was to cop this shit on iTunes and bump it while he gave up the ghost.

   This is why ICP is my favorite of all time, they never fail to step up and kill it when the time comes.

 

   I don’t think this album is better than Death pop but wow they schooled it. They definitely put a lot of darkness in this one. More than Twiztids “Dark” album, which I liked but only had like 4 dark songs on it. They came through with bomb beats, great song concepts, good hooks (for the most part) and lyrics that could only be written by the wicked clowns. 

 

  I can’t wait for Found, I loved the little singing part J did at the very end. 

This.  The only song I didn’t really like [well, to be fair, I didn’t flat out hate it, but it was kinda odd] was You Should Know.  Starting off the way it did and all was a bit… strange.  I mean, had it started more like a “normal” ICP song, it wouldn’t be such a shock.  In fact, the first time I listened to the album, I had to check the song listing to make sure it wasn’t a mix up.  The female vocals were a huge departure from your typical ICP album.  Which isn’t a bad thing by any means, but it was so different that it’ll take some time to gel.  And as Arboghast says, if it doesn’t jel, it isn’t Aspic, and this ain’t jellin’.

Sick dude. I think of any ICP album, this would great for that whole Bizaar/Bizzar thing, where they suggested buying extra copies and giving them to non-Juggalos. I think this is hella different from typical ICP, and especially from what people typically see ICP as.

after listening to the marvelous missing link(lost) 3 times I realize that ICP are the best musicians of all time , way better than Kanye West,Pantera,Skrillex,Van Halen,Dubmatique,Pat Benatar , wu tang clan and Yngwie Malmsteen

Eh, I kinda disagree, but only in regards to the artists in bold.

I loved flamethrower just now (first listen). The story telling and the immitatable violence are so fuckin greaf

Flamethrower is pretty rad.  Did kinda remind me of Bazooka Joey, but not in a bad way or anything.  I like both songs.

Oh, and random, but I mentioned earlier than I hated Rebel Flag from COC. Confederate Flag is definitely a much better, more mature song with valid points. I don’t think that everyone displays the Confederate flag to be a hateful dirtbag, but I still enjoyed the song.  Most people probably do, but I’m sure there are some that don’t, even if that’s a small percentage.

 I’m not really digging it. I listened through it once in my truck, and I wasn’t interested in immediately listening through it again. There wasn’t a single song that stood out as really great, which is pretty disappointing. Every song had something about it that made me make a face and feel like they could have done so much better. It definitely had a cohesive theme, but it didn’t feel like a Joker’s Card to me. The whole “you better have faith, OR ELSE” thing was just too strong for me. I suspect that I will enjoy Found much more.

This, is probably, one of my favorite ICP albums. I got done listening to the whole thing, it’s fucking awesome. I see what people are saying about some of the songs sounding similar, but to me, it just seems like one long composition piece of music, which ain’t bad, I like it, kinda like a concept album or something. The whole thing was awesome, it was definitely a different sound for ICP (I loved the rock shit). Some people don’t like it, but I’m fucking glad I do. And that little thing at the end of I See The Devil, was amazing, if that’s what Found is going to sound like, then holy shit, I don’t even know, that’s gonna be an amazing album. 

And that’s what I think.
