$44.99 for a double LP isn't that bad is it?

Can't tell if sarcasm

I wouldn't say I'm upset, but I don't have the bandwidth for people who don't create their own shit. I'd rather put my effort and money into finding an artist who wasn't looking for shortcuts.

It took me a long time to realize not everyone makes an emotional connection when listening to music. Stuff like this just sounds like aural plastic... humans made it but nothing is there.

Get upset or not that shit is incredibly corny and I'll be personally judging people who allow rap/hip-hop/pop artist/producer roles to invade rock genres. Step one to forgetting how to play instruments as a society and that's not hyperbole.

People will argue with you but won't be able to name a different band responsible for the nügaze movement.

Distressor > Around > Sway > FLY > Pipe Dreams

But Pipe Dreams Redux is probably above Feels Like You to me. All 3 splits and the Muta/Blue Sugar single would make an incredible comp.

I thought maybe that was the case but looking at Spotify, RFC still has the copyright. It might not be updated so I can't say for certain.

Stuff you get paid for doesn't just lie dormant and forgotten about

Also looks like both /250 variants are gone.

RFC never actually cared about Trans feelings lol that was marketing. I bet they're getting paid for this.

My copy of TDS arrived today. That was the fastest preorder to delivery ever. 

Is this not a monthly record subscription? Not that surprising this months record shipped this month.

It was pressed at that domestic Metallica pressing plant so definitely not the same batch as the latest definitive pressing by GZ.

I just need to know if the jackets are exactly the same now, it'd be funny if the IVC pressing is a tip-on/Stoughton.

Those nerds that write those articles ALWAYS try to say Whirr weren't a great band or just some generic snooze-fest. They just can't give it to them and it always makes everything they write seem completely ingenuine every time. It's just totally a fluke that their music persists despite being canceled 🙄

Whirr were always more popular. Most of us only checked out Nothing because Whirr hyped them up. Anyone who says otherwise is remembering wrong or wasn't there.

$4.93 is 5 dollars

Also, I'm sorry but how the actual fuck would someone buying multiple Glassjaw box sets not understand why the number would end in 93 by now? Holy shit, you make it impossible not to be mean, fucking stop it.

Almost like that one 150% more expensive 🤔 

As someone who bought Pretty Hate Machine and The Fragile this month, TDS is on my list and this is actually perfect timing for me. Haven't been interested in any other months and likely won't sign up again after this 😅

Pretty funny how the new "deluxe" version has a missing track. It was a vinyl bonus track but still.

Funny to talk about how important sound quality is and then press on recycled vinyl. All of the recycled vinyl I have sounds terrible. 

Did you even read it? It's not the same recycled vinyl you're thinking about. I have several of their recent releases using that plant and they all sound great.

Damn these guys were always criminally underrated, so weird to see them reappear. I wonder how 2024 me will react to a new Annabel record...

My Material Control sleeve and the outer box both had some decent damage. I sent pictures to Brooklyn Vegan and they (or protect - the 99¢ insurance that I forgot to remove from my order) refunded the whole order and I got to keep the box set. 🤷‍♂️

Now I want to see your "decent damage" vs his "completely trashed" for science lol.

But like I said, stores generally don't tell you to fuck off for no reason.

I mean, I do remember someone in here before mentioning that they were told they have no replacements, which is crazy but whatever.  To not offer any kind of compensation whatsoever is a little fucked up though.

 

A lot of peoples boxes arrived fucked up in the US alone, can’t imagine how any of them in other countries survived the trip

He didn't say they didn't offer any compensation. Just no replacement or "full refund". I want to see what constitutes a full refund and not the partial one they no doubt offered that was conveniently left out of this post.

Well this was a complete waste of money... Arrived completely trashed and they won't replace or refund the full amount.

 

Looks like I won't be buying from Project M ever again.

Any pics? How'd the email go? Not once ever has a store just told me to fuck off if something got obliterated in the mail.

I wonder if there will be a single serious answer here ...

Did you read the question? This man wants to fill a fucking hole in a record with glue. The answer is very clear to anyone making a joke.

I feel like she's taking advantage of her fans by doing this - knowing that they'll drop 100s of dollars every time.

Almost as if all pop(ular) music is carefully constructed to do exactly this. There has never been any real emotion in Taylor's music and I think the whole "hueh hueh I r metal guy who lieks Taylor aren't I quirky?" deal was the fucking strangest happy coincidence for her and her management.

We should make showers the next quirky weird thing to fuck the man. Until they get too popular of course.
