how do these things get leaked?

i leaked it m8

He said on twitter they over sold so they repressed it and stocked a shit load more therefore had to send out a load a day early. So a lot of people got theirs today, apparently someone in his apartment block got one.

How much of that is true is anyones guess. Seems plausable (until someone in his appartment block bit).

Got mine today! I live in NY so maybe it's the States that get it first?

Really weird, but when I imported it all the songs came out at different quality i.e. one at 1040, another at 992, another at 852... not sure if that's me being useless with my laptop or the CD itself?

Are the shorter ones better quality? Might be cause he added so many onto each CD.

Nah... doesn't seem to be any pattern really. The best quality is over 3 mins, and the next best is 1:30. Weird

missed 4 calls from rihanna tho..wont forgive myself for that




LOL

dude chats shit wayyyy too often

Ok, so now that I've heard the whole thing, I must say there's way too much superfluous material here.
As I said, there's some great material here imho, but one or two beefy EP's (or a single CD/LP) could have covered this thing, especially since they're not really tracks for the most part. Rather, most pieces are looped experiments with drums here or there. And then there are some melodic tracks.
Also, Zomby doesn't do ANYTHING new on here, so those expecting a different sound or something, nope: still the same since 2006.

Let's say we make two EP's out of the two cd's:

EP1:
- As Darkness Falls
- Ascension
- Horrid
- Memories
- Overdose
- This One
- Vanishment

EP2:
- Shiva
- Soliloquy
- Sunshine In November
- Vast Emptiness
- With Love

This more than would have covered it. Especially the second disc is full of unnecessary filler (I could actually scrap two more tracks tbh).

Might just order the LP though, for the artwork.

Bit gutted theres no gunshots.

I listened to the album then played "She Loves Me" & "She Loves Me Not". Not advised, quickly became depressed at the quality of the album. Still a good album though, certainly not a bad album... underwhelming and repetitive would best describe it.

Surprised there are tunes on this album I'll be more than happy to work in my dj sets. 777, Overdose, It's Time and especially VI-XI. Love how it implies a build up with its high pitched synth but never really leads to any drop.

if someone described something to me as uinderwhelming and repettive i wouldnt have it down as a good album

Underwhelming due to the hype/Zomby thinking hes Mozart.
Repetitive cause theres 33 songs.

As people have said you can pick songs out and make a decent single LP. Its not a bad album.

My thoughts on it are in general it has so much potential, but it got wasted on him using the same beats and even drum samples. The textures and melodies are great (but like joeki said, it's not too much different from what he usually does. And yeah, the artwork is sick, I would happily buy the LP cover without the vinyl aha) The 2nd CD is particular is almost entirely 'trap' or whatever you wanna call it. If he had made a few of them with the same chords etc but changed the drums, I think it would be a lot less repetitive.

Although the that VI-XI song, it's good but the whole build up to nothing thing aggravated me, especially after hearing that tune 'Originallll' being played last year on Skream and Benga, which is basically a variation of this. I was waiting for it to kind of 'drop' or merge into that song. If it had that would have been a favourite for me.


Highlights:

As Darkness Falls
Horrid
If I Will
Memories
VxV

Glass Ocean
Pyrex Nights
Quickening
Soliloquy
White Smoke
With Love

Didn't feel like a cohesive album. It felt like I was listening to random tracks from his production folder...

why is the best track on the album gotta be the shortest lol

i love Ascension



and just found this one , daaaaaaaaaamn !!

gotta say, i can't get away from this track when listening to disc 2.

has it landed in the beatport charts yett

Not really new sounds, maybe not a cohesive album and rather very short tracks. But i like it !

BIG Zomby well done !

Next time You should come to 10 Days Off in Gent if they still want to book you.
