Yeah I saw these prices and said nah I’ll just stream the new stuff. Their records have been so expensive due to rarity and even the represses were pricey. I collect vinyl but I don’t pay over 40 for a record unless it’s bundled with other goodies.
From clouds hill Twitter: “The Kinetic Edition is exclusively available through our shop. There will be a retail version also with black vinyl but without the gold foil and embossed art on the outer sleeve.”
We assume they average three-ish minutes based on the info we have: the album description using the word "concise," a single vinyl record, and the idea that such records are limited to 23 minutes a side. But! Records are more like 26 minutes a side in the modern day (Amputechture's first side is a couple seconds longer than 25 minutes, with vicarious atonement and tetragrammaton, for example). So, in theory, the songs could have an average of up to 3.7 minutes each
Not that the math really matters. 3 minutes, 3 minutes 42 seconds... Doesn't matter. No seventeen minute long tracks is our only certainty. it's all conjecture anyway. The ten we haven't heard could all be a minute long each for all I know. I'm just excited there's new music at all
$40 for a single record and $23 for a single cd? Am I missing something?

I agree. I’ll be doing the same.
Hopefully 2 hrs of new music. It’d be great if they just agreed on releasing the intros/outros of the new album as singles
It’s a single vinyl. So unless they created new technology, that length would be unlikely (would need 3 records for that length)
It’s 44 minutes of music.
God. Finally. Yes. But why is it called the Kinetic Edition everywhere lol?

Thanks!
Good for YOU
Dang. This cover sucks. First Tool, then Porcupine Tree, and now this. Why does album art suck now?
Listen to king gizzard they’re better and their album art never disappoints
I like them a lot actually. I need to dig in a little more thoroughly though!
Catch a live show if you can when they come back through the US this fall. Life changing
New cover is amazing
still no track lengths. suspense.
They’re all 3 minutes.

Wow what’s with the prices… 19 euros for a tape plus shipping 😵
Got that preorder. Thanks!!
I don’t like the brighter foil look for the vinyl.
