Promotion
In July, Christian Clancy, a Odd Future manager, posted on the 4 Strikes Management Twitter, announcing multiple albums, including the Trash Talk album.[14]
The album art was released along with the cover from another release on the label, Numbers, by MellowHype.[15] The albums were eventually released on the same day as each other.
Singles
The single and music video for the song, "F.E.B.N.", was released, and the music video was uploaded on YouTube, both on the same day of August 30, 2012.
Reception
Upon release, 119 was met with positive reviews by critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted mean rating out of 100, the album received a 67 out of 100 based on 18 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews".[1]
On a positive review with NME, writer Kelly Murray wrote, "The most obvious progressions are the band’s clearer song structures and Lee Spielman’s vocals. The frontman screams his way through 14 songs in 22 minutes, as co-vocalist Spencer Pollard roars like a territorial lion from the shadows behind. The pair are explosive, and joined by guitarist Garrett Stevenson and drummer Sam Bosson, they cater for every element of hardcore as the album lingers on the edge of metal and the West Coast toxicity of The Bronx, Circle Jerks and Black Flag."[2]
