I use the Flashgot extension in Firefox, it's my weapon of choice for ripping. On this site however, I only see these videos (in .ogv and .mp4). Strange. Maybe they're supposed to play where these big white holes are left in the artwork?Originally Posted by jessamineny
Squeal like a pig.
The liner notes that describe it as being recorded by Blumpy who did the live sound mixes... does that suggest that some of it may have been done live?
Oh yeah, god damn this is rad. I was really ill today and this cheered me up a hundred fold.

This is a pretty sexy release!And the sky began to scream, We fade away, and Welcome Oblivion are immediate favorites and I still love How long.

This. Is. Epic.
Some real eargasm material!

By hidden do you mean displaying in full screen on your browser in a rotation as the music plays?

Fucking brilliant. Also this was made in the perfect time. Everyone getting big in the electronic/rock world refuses to go for a darker aesthetic. Well! Trent is happy to fill that spot! And better than anyone else could fucking even hope to.

This album is fucking good. I had low expectations - I downloaded all the EPs but I've hardly listened to them - but this is an entirely different beast. A much better one. Just frustrated I can't download it from them right now to have it to carry around.

the 4sec skip (actually just a restart) are because of the crazy RTMP streaming they are doing. I couldn't find a good way to rip the RTMP stream but somehow the russians did. However they weren't perfect!
Almost certain you can just chop off the first ~4sec of the songs.

I would love a pm with the "no-skips" album if it's possible, I've not listened to this yet because I don't want to do it streaming it on my laptop (poor sound on it) and so far I've only found a rip in a russian site ("m****boom") and I guess that it has those skips in the songs that you were talking about.
Josh Wink was on HLAH
The thing is only streaming at 192kbps, listening on your laptop won't make much difference

Wow, I didn't think that I'd say that, but they won me over with this one. This is a superb album and I really can not wait to hold a physical copy in my hands in 2 weeks time. The title track, strings and attractors and the sky began to scream are my favorites as I ran through the record a couple more times. I'm curious how the vinyl tracks will sound.
Still, ice age and how long do absolutely nothing for me. I'm glad that the album is pretty much different than these tracks.
Damn you Trent, you did it once again!

We Fade Away at ~4:20 reminds me of The New Flesh at 0:45

This is a really, really cool album. Especially with the visuals to complement the songs. Funky, glitchy, subtle, catchy and (in places) heavy as fuck. Awesome.

I love this album. I preordered the vinyl just after the first listen.
If anyone could drop me a PM with a link to the skip-free rips that would be very appreciated!
Congrats to everybody involved in this project! The visuals are amazing too
Stubby Member
I'll have to agree with what one of the users before me said. Love this thing to death except for Ice Age and How Long...the two songs they chose to shine more attention to with the vids.
Stubby Member
The Pitchfork player keeps stopping in the middle of songs so I have to restart. Bloody annoying, so if someone could PM me a link to the rip I would love you forever!
Stubby Member
Yeah, I guess the mp3s are not the best quality, I'm not an audiophile obsessed about this kind of stuff, but the main problem with my laptop is the volume, which is too low, it's not connected to any kind of good speakers and its own speakers just suck, so I would rather have a decent rip for my usb stick that I can just connect to my tv and from there I'll have a much better listening even if the mp3s are not the best possible quality.
Sooo, I would appreciate any kind of mp3 rip please, I promise I'll buy the CD when it's out. XD
Stubby Member
looks like somebody ripped the 192Kbps stream already
Stubby Member
Who? XD Don't be shy, tell me with a pm if you are kind enough, please. XD
Flaccid Member
Yes, i really need that pm with the download link. The pitchfork player is really terrible!

Thom York's web developer is a fucking cunt
Stubby Member
i saw it on piratebay
Of course already purchased vinyl and cd version
Hairy Member
I fixed all tracks. PM for link.
Active Member
???
Confused...
BTW, the pirate bay rip seems to be very decent quality. It appears that the files are all named track 1, track 2, etc... but when placed in iTunes, all info shows up correctly ad in order.

Can I get a pm to the DL link? Stuck at work, Pitchfork hates mobile devices, just want to have it when I get home. Please and thank you in advance!
Active Member
It's entirely off-topic. I just needed to say it. I figured it would get buried quickly in this thread.
This monstrosity is what flattened ETS today: http://amok.atomsforpeace.info/

I'd appreciate a download PM over yonder as well. Will be pre-ordering the vinyl version, but being able to listen to it without Pitchfork would be lovely.
Amazon lists Welcome Oblivion as 3 discs for the vinyl version, so it's safe to assume that the white label CD of the vinyl comes with every copy?
Stubby Member
At the risk of sounding righteous; the album hasn't been released yet people.
The Pitchfork stream is meant to be a preview, not an avenue to get the best rip. I understand the eagerness and excitement, and in some cases, frustration that the Pitchfork site doesn't give them what they want. But that's what March 5th is for...
Patience, people, patience.
EDIT: Pre-ordered the LP (696!) and have been told I can't listen to the album until I'm home as the significant other wants to listen to it with me for the first time. The pains of coverting others to TRez-heads...

If you look at the tracklisting on Amazon disc 3 definitely appears to be the CD vinyl version.

I'm having no problems streaming from pitchfork on my laptop or my mobile... just saying.
Album sounds good, i'm not going to bother with a pre-order, i'll just buy it from my local music shop when it's released.
