Damn that means this, Cartel, Mayday P. and Transit. Along with others I'm probably forgetting. Music overload.

I hope this is released physically.

This feels surreal.

I can assure you guys this record is more complete & thought out than Assailants. As far as line up goes, the only difference between this and any other Lydia record is Steve's absence. All parts on Illuminate & Assailants were recorded by Leighton Craig & Steve, and the new record is all Leighton & Craig. In my opinion you're gonna feel this record if you were into Illuminate -- a lot of substance & no rediculous skippers like Music Makers. Stoked for everyone to hear it, we tracked it directly after The Cinema so I think Leighton got all the pop out of his system and went mostly old school on it!

The lyrics on Assailants hit me hard. I'm excited for this

Hailey again.

Illuminate is my favorite record of all time...I need this album - now haha

Release a song already! This and La Dispute on Oct 4 will be pure bliss. This brightened up my shitty day.

Two of my most listened to albums in years (Daybreak and War Paint) and a very intriguing and polarizing concept ep set dont make my top 10 list. Not to mention the best rock record in years (Wasting Light) ridiculous

Uhmmmmm did you even listen to the new All Get Out, Mansion and Bon Iver?

Sounds promising, I loved Illuminate.

!.

Illuminate is one of my top 5 albums of all time and I've never listened to any other Lydia release out of fear of being let down. I know this is stupid, but I can't get myself to do it. What are your guys thoughts on this? Should I make myself listen to Assailaints or This December?

Illuminate wasn't dominated by female vocals, at all.
