Sidebar : I never understood why Post Malone gets demonized for doing what Mac Miller did similarly during his career - which is using hip-hop as a catapult to perform other genres of music. I need to give a couple more listens between the two formats before I can make a solid verdict one way or another. I'd recommend picking up the albums separately, I don't see any merit in choosing this instead, unless you really like the colour or something. If you’re not particularly excited about it just get Swimming (there is an UO blue that looks just like it) and Circles separately. The other, on the third disk, side 2, for some reason it changes from Mac Miller - Circles to Bon Jovi - This House Is Not For Sale (Live From The London Palladium), its only for side 2 of disk 3 as when you go to disk 4 it switches back to Circles.The album contains two bonus songs, respectively titled “Right” and “Floating,” the latter featuring vocals and instrumentation by Thundercat.
It'll certainly be more costly than the translucent white, but it's worth every penny because of its far superior quality.Recorded at Hive Mind Studios in Brooklyn, NY, with the help of producer/arrangers Mike Buckley and Vincent Chiarito (both members of Charles Bradley's Extraordinaires) and crack team of a-list musicians, his upcoming album blends heavy arrangements and introspective lyrics with sophistication, leaving the listener in a blissful wash of wonderment. Listeners will hear shades of some of the album's influences in its songs, from the T-Rex guitar tone of "Surf" to the Plastic Ono Band-era John Lennon feel of its production and the inspired cover of Arthur Lee's 1972 single "Everybody's Gotta Live. Back cover and LP labels say "Made in Czech Republic" yet runouts indicate GZ Media plating (in Czech Republic) and Precision Record Pressing manufacturing (in Canada). His full length debut on Daptone Records is equal parts raw feeling and elegance and exudes confidence and charm. Both Swimming and Circles are pretty sub-par pressings, but Swimming is especially poor with a lot of surface noise and pops.
