I've had no luck getting my hands on the yellow vinyl version (UK only, I believe), so when I found this one I pulled the trigger.

Honestly, this is the most interesting album they've made in a decade. Yes, it's an odd one with all the faked dialogue and "incidental music", but it suits the band. And if you don't like oddness, I'm afraid we won't have much of a conversation to begin with.

I'd say its hands down the least engaging album they've done. Nothing about it is enjoyable or particularly memorable. If I ever pull the vinyl out again I'd be shocked.

I don't even bother with it digitally. 1 out of 5 stars.

I'll check which color I have, I purchased it pre order.

    While I appreciate the gimmick of soundtracks to a fake movie, Obviously something Kevin Starr would be all over being a huge movie nerd. The music itself isn't what I come to Uncle Acid for.

    Why am I only hearing about this now?!? Not even their official website has it listed yet. I listened to the preview of the first song on bandcamp and immediately bought the digital album. Can't wait to listen to it fully now!

    Sorry to hear that. Hope you get your money's worth if you sell your copy.

    Like I predicted in OP, we don't agree at all and don't need to carry on the conversation save to note that you're wrong, and Shapes of midnight is a tedious, warmed over retread of the same old routine.
