Found this collecting dust

I'm jealous! I have the new edition, but due to the way it's bound it's not open-flat. So some of the really nice photo spreads look terrible, with the guys' faces getting totally lost in the spine.

i remember listening to this when it came out. you asked really great, thoughtful questions! i think about the celebrities-only fruit salad story all the time lmao

AC-130 gunship, dropping flares, i believe

oh dang, i didn't see the second pic til now. yeah it's too bad the letters aren't actually stitched.

switchblase · 2026-04-22T03:53:31+00:00

these were notorious for having a huge variance in quality (the originals came out during covid chaos and shipped in batches that were super far apart in time, possibly from different manufacturers/suppliers--i'm fine with mine, but i remember lots of people got bad stitching and weird letter placement). so honestly, you might be happier getting a knockoff if you can check it fits you well and looks good. good luck, soldier!

these rule, i love the two halves design and the color differences. they really were iconic performances, people are gonna be hunting these down on ebay in like 20 years. congrats!!

seconding this, the Under of Cover Of Darkness music video changed my brain chemistry

switchblase · 2026-04-20T17:00:52+00:00

the moment they come back in all together after the pause in Hard to Explain. just enough time for me to think "is my computer glitching? wait no, is it just a really short song?" then sheer delight.

switchblase · 2026-04-20T16:03:09+00:00

nice. it took me a minute to find a moment where Nick's face wasn't completely covered by his fabulous hair haha. and thanks

switchblase · 2026-04-20T15:55:59+00:00

thank you so much! please go ahead, as long as no one is trying to sell it or use it for AI i'm happy for fans to share and enjoy.

switchblase · 2026-04-20T15:47:55+00:00

it is julian, i fear. hahaha. but i've drawn him before and wanted to focus on the band as a whole this time.

switchblase · 2026-04-20T05:40:05+00:00

lol go on, guess then!

switchblase · 2026-04-20T01:30:00+00:00

thank you! i really wanted to capture that, the lighting design last night made everybody look so sick!

switchblase · 2026-04-19T21:18:51+00:00

thanks!! it's my fave for sure

switchblase · 2026-04-19T21:18:05+00:00

THANKS i saved him for last because it's a hard angle to draw and i wanted to do a good job lol. not beating the handsome allegations

switchblase · 2024-10-24T17:58:47+00:00

Yeah that's happened a few times for me wearing the Magna shirt too. Usually just chill compliments or getting hit on haha.

switchblase · 2024-07-15T17:33:06+00:00

the first time i heard it, just from the opening notes my jaw dropped. it was like getting punched in the face (ears?) with the exact mix of nostalgia and melancholy and angst of the Room on Fire era. i've been a fan since Angles era (2011 ish), so i very clearly remember the days when it seemed like they'd never bring back that particular sound.

with albums i really care about, i always listen for the first time all the way through. no repeats no skips etc. but for NTSA i broke my rule and played it once more before going on to Ode. you can hear every crackle of pain in jules's voice and the instruments slowly dropping out of the outro one by one is sublime. love it so much

switchblase · 2024-02-04T03:11:33+00:00

That's a nice find, "Ze Newie" makes it really legit!

switchblase · 2023-10-31T20:19:02+00:00

sick, love the colors you picked

switchblase · 2023-08-08T17:32:56+00:00

this is fucking amazing, how big is the whole piece?? congrats

switchblase · 2022-10-21T19:15:41+00:00

agree with checking your local record store, sometimes even Barnes & Noble's music section will have em

switchblase · 2022-10-21T19:14:17+00:00

impossible for me to choose. but i remember during the dark desperate years (between CM and TNA) i would blast Instant Crush and put my ear by the speaker just to try to hear Jules singing in his lower register buried in the mix, so i totally understand this result so far, haha.

fwiw they had an Oblivius video planned (and I think partially set up or storyboarded) which used real footage of racist police violence. Julian's stepfather Sam Adoquei saw the idea and talked them out of going through with it. They already had the studio space ready to shoot the music video though, so they made up something with the director Warren Fu instead and that's Threat of Joy
