holy shit "sky above mud below"
i don't think i've been this excited since the last track on "arrived in gold."

i listened to this album the other day while watching a dozen police break some dude out of his car then arrest him in the middle of the street-it was awesome!

this album is brilliant, i'm really starting to crack into it. these must be the most gorgeous guitar tones in noise rock ever, some moments where he's just peeling off layer after layer AAAAAHHHHHHHH. plus it's really groovy, they're so in control of every throb and pulse.
i saw them live last monday and this is probably the uncoolest opinion but it was maybe too much of a mindfuck? i like how even in the depth of freakout they're weirdly contiguous, the bass is kind of tucked away on the record, it's there but just sort of rumbling away weirdly locked in with the drums. anyways the live mix had the bass loud as fuck and at some points i just felt like i was watching three people play three different songs at the same time and i think i busted my brain trying to make sense of it all.

the world would be a nicer place if a yamatsuka eye remix of "sky above mud below" existed

Man, I loved the last record. "sky above mud below" was so fucking good that I return to it the most, I hope they included a similarly triumphant rager like it somewhere on the new one.

Cause I am listening to it RIGHT NOW I must once again say: "Sky Above Mud Below" is the damn best. It is like an anthem:

Final record coming out on Dais soon. Damn good song from it, but at this point they are all golden:

Anyone heard Silk Purse? Curious as to how far it deviates from Sightings since both Mark and Richard are in the fold.

Everybody in this band is a damn champ on their instrument. What a great group sound.

Also, "Syllabus of Errors" is a fantastic name for a song by Sightings. Going out in primo fashion.
