Got mine about two weeks ago, so yeah, I'd think that has to be a mix-up at this point.

This has been a grower for me too. I was seriously underwhelmed when it first leaked. I still think it's their weakest effort by a hair, but given the impeccable quality of their back catalog that's far from a slam. My main gripes are "Brother Song" and the closer, which I could take or leave. The first half is gold, as is "Bird Sounds" into "Blood from a Stone."

I actually find "I'll Find a Way" very enjoyable. IMO

Loving this album now. Takes some time to sink in, but I think it's fantastic.

Now that i got the CD, I'm really starting to love this. But honestly, he opening track is my least favorite... I can'f figure out why the production sound so much more muddled than the rest of the album and the vocal sound low, drums high, and guitars kinda lost in the mix. I dunno... nearly everything else I love though

I don't understand why people like this album.

Because it sounds really good and it's Circa Survive going back to their roots of writing songs that are more jammy and spacey rather than rock-oriented like the music on Blue Sky Noise was, which most people saw as unnecessary departure for a band that had come so well into their own sound and then seemingly abandoned it. Any other questions?

I don't buy into that. I feel like they took Blue Sky Noise and slapped On Letting Go's production onto it with this album. The songwriting didn't throw me back at all and with their new emphasis on production thanks to Anthony I find myself getting more and more bored by the songwriting.

Here's to hoping the sound of animals fighting miraculously writes another album.
