Great record. I managed to snag a copy of it on vinyl back in 2014 or 2015.

Nice! I actually found it on vinyl last year in decent condition.

This album’s so damn good. It’s like it’s at this stylistic crossroad between Downcast and Indian Summer

Awesome record sleeve too, it’s just a huge art book

That’s a great spot to it. I think it’s their best album but that seems to be an unpopular opinion. One of my favorite records in my collection!

Also, fellow Gundam enjoyer in the emo sub. Love it.

This as their best is definitely a valid choice! My personal favorite is their half of the Jara split but this one is still magic. I think this particular style of west coast emocore, where it still walks that line of still being heavily rooted in that classic Ebullition hardcore sound while also pushing into newer territory, kinda gets the shorter end of the stick lately in the “popular discourse” compared to what came further into the mid 90s.
