Glassjaw - Material Control info 2017-11-15 by StrizzMatik | 247 Comments A listing appeared on Amazon that appears to confirm the title, tracklisting, and release date of Glassjaw's long-awaited 3rd LP, titled Material Control along with a $11.98 pre-order option. Several hours later the listing was taken down at the request of Century Media, along with several posts from fans on Twitter and Instagram following emails from the label asking that they be removed. Apparently Amazon goofed on this one.



The following day, several people on Instagram and Facebook posted pictures showing that they had received a box set of 10 7" flexi discs of the new record, with tracks "Bastille Day" and title track "Material Control" being unlisted as they are instrumental interludes. In the following days, people who have ordered merch or tickets from MerchDirect have been receiving copies of random singles from the record in the mail on flexi disc. The band is also hosting a listening party for Material Control on Thanksgiving night in LA https://chorus.fm/news/glassjaw-announce-material-control-listening-party/



The band is currently uploading teaser videos on Instagram for each song, so far we have videos for the title track instrumental, NWE, Citizen, and Golgotha. As of November 23rd, Material Control is also now available for pre-order from iTunes Australia with a due date of 12/1/17, with "Shira" being made available immediately as first single.



Official Tracklisting:



1.) new white extremity

2.) shira

3.) citizen

4.) golgotha

5.) strange hours

6.) bastille day

7.) pompeii

8.) bibleland 6

9.) closer

10.) my conscience weighs a ton

11.) material control

12.) cut and run

It's legit, they've been playing at least 9 of the new songs live and they match up with the setlists that've come out. Can't wait





oh FUUUUUUUUUCK



shira and new white extremity were insane live im so hype to hear this

can't wait to listen to more annoying whiny shit from this band





Oh Gyro, not even you can dull the sparkle of this news for me.





I'VE



GOT



A HANDLE ON THE FICTION





hmmmmmmmmmmm





i just hope it's more like coloring book. i actually kinda dig that one. it's sort of akin to deftones insofar as atmosphere. the further away from worship and tribute the better





YUUSSSSSS - finally!!!!!



A little something to take my mind off this Brand New mess.





Judging from the songs that they played live already, it's going to be a pretty even mix of everything they've done. Sounds like a really heavy Coloring Book in a lot of songs, really heavy NY post-hardcore vibe a'la Mind Over Matter and Stillsuit.





Amazon let the cat out of the bag but still hyped for this none the less.





I came





So should I try listening to Glassjaw now? They seem to be a big deal.

sowing: start with coloring book and avoid worship and tribute... except for tip your bartender because that song rules





YOU'VE NEVER LISTENED TO GLASSJAW?!





given how the past few months have gone i expect this to be incredibly good, then Palumbo will be accused of sexual harassment by March

Only stuff of theirs I like is their last EP (Coloring Book?). I hope it sounds like that cause I love that.





Step 1: Ignore gyro about W&T

Step 2:





i doubt sowing would like w&t anyway tbh





OK but the consensus is that I need to listen to them, so I will.





He's right though, Coloring Book is next-level awesome.



Also:

- the band was originally going to release on another unnamed label that folded

- it's rumored that Epitaph passed on releasing their album





I mean, I personally love all of it, but if I had to take a guess, I do think Sowing would like Coloring Book the most.





Do it. If you avoid anything, make it their debut. Worship and Tribute is classic. Gyro is in the minority with his opinion.





worship and tribute is mostly stuff like this



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b8ZfLKxoRE





and not enough stuff like this:



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2kC-ujLMwM





How the eff have you not listened to glassjaw sowing? Have you lived under a rock called Taylor Swift? Gyro is crazy, Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence and Worship and Tribute are amazing, I'd just listen through their discography in chronological order.





lol I'll prob just do that, or just go with the highest rated on the site to start





lol that's sick





holy shit





also, yeah ignore gyro.





well, today just got a whole heap better.





They're trolling fans hard by calling the album "Material Control" lololol





only 37 minutes if amazon's runtime is right. interesting





Will inevitably rule.



Digging: Napalm Death - Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism

they got “material control” on their merch when i saw them, and apparently at one of their shows a merch guy confirmed that as the album name





aye yo i'm really crine bro 😭😭😭





Its only a matter of time until the singer is revealed as a pedo





nephew......





plz no





@feather https://i.imgur.com/XHBa71T.jpg





well damn. not a day overdue.





Daryl Palumbo Allegations



^ will be right before the album comes out and the label drops them and it's scrapped forever





daryl can join ISIS and I'd still 4.5 it minimum





Still bitter, sorry. Excited for this though.





This thread would be blowing up if it weren't for the Jesse Lacey thread drawing an incredible amount of traffic.





'daryl can join ISIS and I'd still 4.5 it minimum'



ISIS/Daryl collab when?!





:weary: :weary: :weary:





AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA





ignore gyro





Gyros are delicious. I love me some tzatziki sauce.





I hope it's just a Head Automatica album in disguise, hahahaha





Real talk, I've been waiting for that Head Automatica album for years too.



Apparently it's done and just sitting archived due to label disputes.



#SWANDAMAGE2018





WHAYEN THE MEDISAYUHN YOU FAYUNSAY HAS RUN OWWWWT> WAAAALL GOOD JUNKIES GO 2 HEAAVAAAAUUUUUHHHHHNNNNNNN





worship and tribute is a flawless album, ep's rule too

It's official. Sweet art too





"start with coloring book and avoid worship and tribute..."



Wut? All their output is exceptional.



Digging: Marilyn Manson - We Are Chaos

gyro spends like 80% of his time in glassjaw threads talking about how he doesn't like them for some reason, its weird.





hey guys gyro here, just reminding you i still really dont like this band haha ok later





I feel like a goddamn idiot now for missing their tour





Holy shit, so pumped



Digging: Narrow Head - 12th House Rock

Black, black

So black you can't even grasp the fact





HOLY FUCKKKKKK





Nice!





Fuck yeah automatic 5





Turns out the Amazon posting was unintentional and people are being told to take down articles/posts about it.



Lol kinda get a kick out of the fact that someone undermined Beck's little cat-and-mouse bullshit





This may be the greatest year for metal bands. ;)

I'm fucking stoked.





Goddammit Glassjaw, don't do this to me.





It's definitely legit, info was leaked thanks to Amazon by accident and they're not happy, but fuck it w/e





gyro spends like 80% of his time in glassjaw threads talking about how he doesn't like them for some reason, its weird.



SACRIFICE HIM GOD DAMMIT.





So that is a legit release date and info, but they just didn't want it getting out there. I am okay with that.





Glassjaw woship must be mandatory in this page.





I hope that it's also produced by Ross Robinson





"Produced by John Feldmann"





LOL



Feldmann is on a mission to ruin punk music and Glassjaw won't be having any of that.





i dont even think feldman could ruin this band





More info:

- Beck, Daryl and Billy Rymer recorded everything, Ariel Telford (original bassist of GJ) and George from Mind Over Matter contributed percussion and vocals, respectively, on one track.

- Chad (current touring drummer) recorded a song with them, but it's not known whether it's on the album or not.





I agree. These haters are really salty. XD





"So should I try listening to Glassjaw now? They seem to be a big deal."



I think they the most overrated band in the post hardcore genre. They are a major hit or miss band for me. With that being said, if you haven't already, at least check out Worship and Tribute. Songs like Tip Your Bartender, Mu Empire, and Radio Cambodia are fantastic and are worth checking out.



"worship and tribute is a flawless album, ep's rule too"



Lol come on now. The album is extremely inconsistent.





no it's not



owned





Good thing you're here to put us in check with your subjective opinion





It says that the page is not found. But, I did just get to meet a dog of Amazon lol.





Someone call minnashine





"Good thing you're here to put us in check with your subjective opinion"



Lol alrighty pal. Sorry I don't participate in the Glassjaw circle jerk and declare Worship and Tribute as the pinnacle of post hardcore music. I dont think the album is perfect, I think songs like Ape Dos Mil and Trailer Park Jesus are slow, out of place and they mess with the flow of the album. Of course my opinion is subjective, I'm not saying that my opinion is the right one. All I'm saying is that calling it flawless is rather bold and rather silly.





Or just, like, your opinion, man...





ape dos mil is pretty clearly the worst song on w&t post up





I love the atmosphere of that song though. Granted, I'll admit the vox aren't the best, but dat bass...





ape dos mil owns



fuckin nerds smh





i thought DEP drummer was here to?





I'm in the UK so there's nothing there for me, RIP





I've been waiting so long for this announcement yesss





Wait it's finally coming out? well damn, this should be sweet.



Digging: Landon Tewers - Withdrawals

Also Shaq sounds way too salty and W&T rules





Yeeaah boooooiiiiiiiiiii





I haven't even heard one Glassjaw song and I'm excited!





@Slut Billy tracked all the drums, Daryl confirmed it



Lol the label is contacting certain people and offering them free merch to take down their news on the album





Ape Dos Mil is perfection



Digging: The Front Bottoms - In Sickness & In Flames

well this was an amazing surprise. god damn it's finally happening.





this is in 2 weeks and 2 days. that's insane





"Ape Dos Mil is perfection" [2] hard





The link doesn't work. Even looking up the link outside of Sputnik, it still won't work.





37 minutes for 12 songs is something i hope isn't true





damn it's actually happening. 6 years on from coloring book



"shira and new white extremity were insane live im so hype to hear this"



they already released new white extremity



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjHI2QS7rvA





@tyler





"ape dos mil is pretty clearly the worst song on w&t post up"



your mother is pretty clearly a whore





where are people getting 37 minutes from, I didn't see that on any of the articles or the amazon page when it was up





This will be a nice little surprise





eeEEeeeee







Digging: Virginia Astley - From Gardens Where We Feel Secure

Ape dos mil is dogshit





is gyromania was actually a gyro he'd be a gas station gyro that would give you hepatitis and a botchla upon consumption





angsty deftones with shit vocalist yeah





holy fuck yes!



Digging: Ataraxie - L'�tre et la Naus�e

i love deftones but nah, daryl is a lot better than chino, gj ep's have better song writing than any deftones too imo imo





Daryl is a joke compared to chino





I mean I'd let Chino or Daryl drill me from behind, or probably both at the same time tbh.





I mean they're both great, I just think daryl is more interesting and has more variation and range. probably my favorite vocalist tbh.





[2]





Daryl sounds whiney and emo and generally grating as hell when he isn't screaming.





i like whiny tbh





wow gyro is an ableist





yikes gyro





his singing is annoying tbh i do like the their more aggressive songs on the debut





sad you don't like them more adr rip





hey guys gyro doesnt like this band





gyromania doesn't like glassjaw





i wonder why.....





oh btw i called this





I don't know if they're overrated as someone else in this thread said. Maybe in small circles online but they're a relatively small cult band for the most part. I think they deserve more attention and credit, personally. Especially for how influential they were in the early 2000's.



Digging: En Minor - When The Cold Truth Has Worn Its Miserable Welcome

Didnt expect this to ever happen, cannot wait!!!!!



Digging: Napalm Death - Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism

Didnt expect this to ever happen, cannot wait!!!!!





The link isn't up anymore, and the band hasn't said a peep about it. I'm no longer excited.





apparently they told amazon to take it down and asked for articles about it to be deleted. clearly someone got some info they weren't supposed to. if anything this just makes it more likely that something's getting released





they were probably make it a surprise





Yeah after all this time I can't imagine Glassjaw just... announcing an album like some pleb band





well idk cause this was a preorder? so if it comes out dec 1st there wont be much time to preorder if they wait any longer





quality joke





Hahaha. I could see those being lyrics from the first album. Or something like: "I'LL FUCK YOU, YOU GROUPIE WHOOOOOORE."





You guys are such good sports!





Yo is there an actual pre-order link that's not amazon? Lol. One in the article seems to be broken for me.





Amazon pulled it, it was unintentional





Oh no! It's gone.





HOLY SHIT





eh. i liked KKBB, but didn't care for their other stuff. palumbo's voice is grating & whiny, and i never got the obsession with their albums. overrated.





Y'all ain't real GJ fans til u fuck a bootleg copy of The Impossible Shot, smdh





lol I preordered it but I guess I'll get refunded?





Hopefully y’all can see this



https://www.facebook.com/washedupemo/posts/10159764923885372





^^ holy shit





Get ready to overdraft y’alls checking accounts





Saw these guys live once, they were neat





im cumming





Looks like my order still went through. I'm just gonna wait for December and if it doesn't show up or if there isn't news by then about the album drop I'll ask for a refund





Seeing how letlive. disbanded (closest to gj there was for a while) I'm beyond fucking excited for this. Their older stuff is still the tits.





I asked washedupemo if he can do a FLAC rip for the record, he said it's coming out tomorrow anyways



FUCK





aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa





AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA





Basically this news is like ''There might be a record but idk''





its completely confirmed ??





If that's the cover, itl ooks legit enough. like something Daryl would post on Twitter or something. That'd make a great T-Shirt





https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zh3tkJE6wdo



Yes Soraya it IS confirmed.





Confirmed by who?







If that's the cover, itl ooks legit enough. like something Daryl would post on Twitter or something. That'd make a great T-Shirt



Better than worship and tribute but not so much compared to everything you ever wanted to know...





Cover looks like an RVCA hat design or something. I don't hate it, but that's what is reminds me of. Who tf got box sets, those silly fucks.





well people are 100% getting copies right now

guitarist from United Nations





Oooooh, they are flexidiscs.





Oh my fuck





Won't ever miss out on a chance to hype Glassjaw. It's hard for me to understand how anyone who has given their music a good listen could see them as overrated, they provide a huge well of depth in how they attack songwriting and sound-layering. It says a lot when some of my absolute favorite tunes from a band are on an unreleased EP mix("G is for Glassjaw"). I can't think of any equivalent band to match their diverse output in the post-hardcore genre, from aggressive to softer tunes, they have found ways to stay ahead of the game and relevant. This was very clearly proven with Coloring Book, I can't imagine any other band in the genre capable of writing songs that sound anywhere near similar to "Gold", "Vanilla Poltergeist Snake", and "Daytona White". Who else writes nearly as forward-thinking as them? Hope this comes out tomorrow, I will freak :D





Yeah, what SpoonerMcgee said.





OMFG





Washed Up Emo is streaming the flexidiscs of all the tracks through facebook, quality is horrible of course but it sounds really good from what I can hear. Don't want to spoil it too much for myself though.





I asked washedupemo if he can do a FLAC rip for the record, he said it's coming out tomorrow anyways

yes plz



Digging: Suddenly Boyz - ??????? -May the 4th Be with You-

Listened to WUEs crappy fb stream and it slays





i need a proper stream





neat!





How could they not at this point. They have to know that it will get ripped tonight, wouldn't they want people to hear it in HQ?





Shit my bad, it wasn't him, it was a dude in his thread (who has since edited his comment, funny enough). And a few others have intimated as much too. Who knows really





"Seeing how letlive. disbanded (closest to gj there was for a while) I'm beyond fucking excited for this. Their older stuff is still the tits."



Fake History was amazing, everything else meh









So fucking hype my dudes.





Im gunna explode gents





Need that fucking vinyl like kavin spacey needs 15 year old dick





There's a crappy rip floating around from WUE's stream if anyone wants it, I would suggest waiting. First impressions - album is really short, dark, dissonant, heavy and probably the most atonal thing Glassjaw has ever done, and it rules





i’m probably gonna cave and listen this weekend





I'm gonna wait. I want the first listen to be as glorious as intended. Besides, I already waited this long, what's a little longer?





yeah i saw that rip as well, apparently it's just the audio of the FB stream where the dude played the flexidiscs he got in to a mic, so its like dogshit quality.



was really hoping they were just gonna stealth release today ;-;







"I'm gonna wait. I want the first listen to be as glorious as intended. Besides, I already waited this long, what's a little longer?"



Yeah thats where I felt conflicted, but I wanted to be sure they still sounded good in the studio at least, so I peeped 3 of the flexis, all very catchy





I'm all for shitty leaks but this one is downright unlistenable to me, not trying to be a tool, like I've literally tried like 3 times and I have no idea what's going on



Digging: sprain - As Lost Through Collision

check the glassjaw website guys, they've uploaded a weird teaser





they broke edge





Worship and Tribute was decent. Kinda interested to see how this sounds.





Good lord that teaser this lp is gunna be aoty





Is it just me or did that teaser take forever to load?





Worship and Tribute was decent. Kinda interested to see how this sounds.



No, it was AMAZING.





Not really a post hardcore fan so me finding it decent says something





fukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk





isn't the teaser just all junkies go to heaven





about time





"isn't the teaser just all junkies go to heaven"

yep, seems like it's just a remix. Why won't they use an actual new song as a teaser tho







yeah man waiting like 10 minutes for that page to load just to get a Junkies remix - this is not the best album rollout I've ever seen lmao



but the hype isn't dying one bit so whatever



@Strizz apparently Bastille Day and Material Control are still on the album, they're just interludes not listed in the tracklist for some reason





Lol i didn't even know there was sound i was just enjoying the clips





I think all of their albums have tracks I press skip on occasionally without actually affecting my outlook on the album as a whole.



From what I've heard, it's being described as what the follow-up to W&T would have sounded like mixed with OCG. I'm stoked as shit, even if I wanted more songs like Stations of The New Cross, which I consider to be their best work.





Honestly sounds like a little bit of every album - it's got the darkness and aggression of EYEWTKAS and OCG, the progressive melodies / structures of W&T and the rhythmic groove / experimentation of CB. I'm loving it so far





is there an official release date yet?





I think it's going to be 12/1





12/1 is as guaranteed as it gets, but I'm hearing it could be this Friday too, since it's Record Store Day. A lot of people who have ordered from merchdirect in the past are receiving a Flexi-Disc single in the mail as well.





oh shit



also one of the flexis just appeared on discogs





record store day is in april yo





nah, the black friday iteration is on the 25th :^)





Whoops on RSD



Just checked my mail, got the Flexi for Citizen m///





wait



how did people get the flexis tho?



edit: nvm i just saw what you mentioned prior duh





If you've ordered something from MD / got GJ merch from them there's a good chance you're getting one.



There's also a listening party in LA on the 24th, hopefully we get a digital release soon. My Amazon CD pre-order is sitting at December 7th-8th.





considering i just got into these guys...not happening



i can wait though, it's only a week away





Need a physical asap fxck





Need a physical asap [2]





Hopefully theyll post a real link to some soon





i got my conscience weighs a ton in the mail yesterday on plexi. bent as hell tho





Shira leaked in full quality on kingdomleaks, probably the next single



It's perfect. Anyone wants it pm me





Shira is a hard 10/10 hOLY SHIT

Not at all disappointed with MC not being like Coloring Book if all the songs are this incredible





Album is officially out 12/1 and currently available for pre-order through iTunes Australia, plus you get Shira immediately. Pretty sweet, I'm assuming pre-orders up for everyone else tomorrow.





I moved since the last time I ordered from merch direct so I'm not getting a flexi disk?????





Wonder when we'll get a physical preorder?





Wow beck goes fucking wild on shira





Imperfect strangeeeeeeeeeeers





Shira bangs like nobody's business, way better than Extremity imo





I do like it more tbh





I like Extremity a lot but I'm losing my shit over Shira it's insane





Already have Shira on loop.





both extremity and shira bang super hard but shira is better for sure damn





can confirm that shira does indeed fucking rule





Production sounds odd to me. But the chorus is awesome. Daryl sounds amazing.





physicals are up



no vinyl and the bundles are trash



good ol gj





Yeah bundles frustrated me. I would honestly buy that one flag by itself





Yeah, if you actually want a cd it’s like yeah you can have that as long as you buy loads of other shit you can’t necessarily afford.





New song rules







I'd actually go for the show one if I lived in America, but it's nice that that's the only option and you can't even get the CD by itself. lol





the CD is up for pre-order on Amazon





Not on the uk site, just the mp3 vversion. Going to scope out .com and see how much i’m going to get fucked for shipping.





Actually just ordered it, just under 15 pounds including international shipping.





I think they deserve support. It's weird how they're so popular here but they're surprisingly small in the grand scheme of things. I was actually shocked to see how small they are.





They're huge on the east coast





I know, I actually live on the east coast but still they are a very sort of I guess insular band if that makes sense. Very sort of DIY.





Like the operation of the band is small. Like It's mostly Beck doing most of the work.





It's out there folks.





Hope this is good





It was great live
