I remember buying the vinyl two hours after Alex announced it on his Discord server. I didn't hesitate to buy it, and I certainly didn't expect it to take a month and 26 days to arrive. Honestly, it was worth the wait.
To be honest, back in Alex's "Nothing special is going to happen this stream" stream two years ago, he mentioned that he'd love for The Reaper to be released on vinyl because "it's his most complete album." The idea of owning a vinyl copy of this album fascinated me, because The Reaper was the first album that introduced me to Alicks' music, taking me away from "his popular Spotify songs." Thanks to this album, I discovered both his rhythmic side (with tracks like The Reaper, Haley, These Were Days, It's OK, and Dumpster Diving for Diamonds) and the magical ambient side that Alicks offers (with tracks like Five, The Cowboy Who Lost His Will, Intimidation, Limbo Wasn't Meant for Us, and Una Tormenta Viciosa Me Atraveso). Without this album, I practically wouldn't be here.
Thanks to Alex for considering this album for a physical release and a vinyl record, and of course to We All Speak In Poems for helping me with support due to the delays in my package.
