Speaking of, if the announcement blurb is to be believed they'll be airing new material at the next roadburn. Im pretty hyped to say the least!

Pity the new relapse boxset is only WFAD and Live at Roadburn, was hoping for an album double whammy with the strength to dream. I don't really give a fuck about live albums so can't justify the price, the DLP will have to do.

I think Svart still have The Strength to Dream LP with original gammy artwork. It's the copy I have.

They must still have the rights but I don't think they've repressed in a few years :(

The reissue of Watching drops on Vinyl/CD next week. Have it on CD but am indulging in a vinyl.


Meets all expectations. Class. Cant wait for next week


Ah what an incredible first track!! Shame about the artwork but beyond excited for this now. Going to have that new track worn out by the time the album comes.

I think it's... good... it sounds to me like 40 Watt Sun with distortion- so maybe more like a continuation of The Inside Room. It makes sense in that's it's very much a continuation of Pat Walker's journey (Pat Walker's Journey!) rather than a return to doom. Maybe I am HOPING FOR TOO MUCH (that's probably a song title on the album) in NEEDING TO RECONNECT WITH THE PAST (another title, or maybe a lyric), but I'm not exactly blown away by it. It's PERFECTLY ADEQUATE (I don't think this one made it past the demo stage).

The artwork is indeed CUNTISH BEYOND BELIEF (this title was never even in the running) but sure...

Maybe it just NEEDS MORE TIME (could go either way).

Ah its got the big fat fuckin' chonky riffs that were absent on the 40 watt sun stuff. This immediately resonated with me far more than any of those tracks.

Im WARNING you, don't be yucking my yummies, Ive listened to this about 10 times already and its class  :laugh:

Ah yeah, I've only given it one spin. I'm sure it'll be a grower, but it's no Footprints loik!

Ah was never gonna have an unbiased take on a new warning track myself. Watching is just pure magic and I want to believe this will measure up...first track is meeting par imo. Now excuse me while I go for listen 11...


Thats absolutely class. Seems like a middle ground between WFAD and the Inside Room.
