Liking the sound of this:

"Victories’ reflects a side of Eureka Machines which we’ve always wanted to explore – a slightly rawer, more punk rock, in-your-face approach. Something a little more like the live experience – the four of us in a room, playing hard at punishing volumes. It still sounds like Eureka Machines – big pop songs with noisy guitars and loads of harmonies – but with perhaps a darker, slightly more sardonic edge."

Yep. I went for both too

Same here ... already 95% of goal, btw ... ... and T'Yorkshire EP is a also a cool addition ... ...

Yes - especially like the Red Lorry Yellow Lorry cover

Plus the Victories album cover has a framed cross stitch dog

... a cross stitch Airedale Terrier which is even more specific than just a common Yorkshire Terrier ... ... and far more pretty, anyway ... ...

Just listened to 'Victories'

This is my first time pledging and wasn't sure what to expect but i've been pleasantly surprised with how much i like it!

Consider my expectations well exceeded, nice one!

Got a favourite track yet?

I'm not sure yet! I hear one and i'm like 'ooh, i like this one', then the next 'ooh now i like this one!'

I've only listened through once and i tend to immediately like the bigger more guitar based power tracks, as first time i just go for the general sound.

As i listen again to the songs as a whole and take more note of the lyrics, i'll probably end up liking one of the slower ones more.

Need to have a proper listen but very impressed so far!

Anything jumping out at you?

At the moment I'll Call You is doing it for me.
I adore the guitar riff in there

Hah, eventually finding time for a listen ... ... not through yet ...

A pleasure ... ...

Yes!
And funnily enough Chris on Twitter says he wrote this originally for the Sisters:

Was listening to ‘I’ll Call You’ off our new album as reference for something last night when I realised I had originally written this for the Sisters. The melody was different but the rest was similar, especially the big Motörhead bit in the middle.

Also, speaking of Twitter, i tweeted about the new album from my cross stitch account and got this reply from Chris!
Wow, i'm so happy!

Hihi, that's lovely, Charlie ... ...

nice one Charlie.

I love Eureka Machines videos. They are always funny and creative ... ...

Here's the one for Misery from the recent Victories album ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHE7piTDhaE

Very nice!

Would have liked to get physical signed copies but my bank account said no, so digital only!

I got the digital stuff too. It was all included in the pledge, but I do love their presentation with the booklets & stuff.
There's still a problem with that last bonus track though (Might Be Stars). One's supposed to be a flac but they're both mp3 files.
The covers disc is amazing. I think that is the best Johnny Cash cover I have ever heard in my life.

The dates in May have been cancelled. It's no surprise really, but still a bummer.

Still supporting Therapy? at their rescheduled London and Manchester gigs in September, provided those go ahead...
