Yeah that annoys the hell out of me too. I'd like to see those people write even a half decent song, or even just try and sing in key! To be honest I think there's a high expectation for a lot of bands these days. Maybe it's always been that way and social media makes it more obvious? It just seems that if you're writing music and your sound never changes or develops then people will get bored and move on (and to some extent I agree) but if you try and evolve then people will quickly call you a sell out. You can't win!

I don't even think there's a booklet with the vinyl version. Steven Wilson HQ says there's the 2LP version, and a deluxe edition. But it says this about the deluxe version: "The deluxe edition is presented in an elaborately designed 96 page case-bound book, with several additional inserts – including a diary, a sketchbook, newspaper cutting, a letter etc – featuring artwork by long-term SW collaborators Lasse Hoile (photography), Hajo Mueller (illustrations) and Carl Glover (design). Contents of the deluxe edition include: – Hand. Cannot. Erase. album CD – Original demos CD (exclusive to this edition and including music that did not make the final album) – Blu-Ray containing hi resolution stereo & 5.1 audio (96/24 5.1 LPCM & DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1), seven additional alternative versions, mixes & radio edits, half-hour studio documentary, studio sessions photo gallery – DVD-V containing stereo & 5.1 audio (DTS 96/24 5.1 & 96/24 Stereo LPCM)" Unfortunately it doesn't make any mention of what is included with the vinyl release, so I'm guessing it's just a standard 2LP version (which I'm happy with anyway).

I ordered mine via New On Vinyl. The release date is 12th of January, so it's not shipped yet. I should imagine by the end of the week it will have been sent though.

I'm sure everyone else is more excited about ISIS, but I can't see these Baroness re-stocks? Have they sold out already??

Sorry guys, was busy on new years and then spent yesterday VERY hungover! I'll be honest, I've had 8 requests from people asking me to pick up a copy of the EU White version for them. I really don't have the money or time to be able to pick them up and mail them all out to different places. I was stung on eBay a few years back when someone claimed not to receive something I'd posted to them, and because of that I don't really want to do any selling etc. Hope everyone is cool with that, sorry for letting people down. Hopefully someone else out there will be kind enough to step in and offer their help?

PS: New track is great! Makes me hungry for more. Really looking forward to this album now.

Oh man! Now I face a dilemma. Do I keep my original order for the US version and pretend I never saw this, or do I cancel it and pick the white EU copy up? I'm not fussed about having both. White might be quite good and there's only 100 so I may regret not grabbing it, but then again I do like the colours for the US pressing.... First world problems eh?

Ask and you shall receive!!! http://m.ebay.com/itm/271725055251?_mwBanner=1 Sorry got a bit ahead of myself there.... I could be wrong, but I believe this is a sneak peak at the silver press of Leviathan. Posted by the band so it's legit. Though annoyingly it's not a double LP or anything exciting like a deluxe box set (like they did with Remission). Just looks like the usual repress but on the limited silver.

Untouchables is next up. January 19th. Probably the last album of theirs I really liked tbh. I may pick it up, if only for the nostalgia. http://www.musiconvinyl.com/catalog/korn/untouchables#.VKLjxQI8IF This just leaves Life is Peachy and Issues to go. Bit of an odd release schedule if you ask me...

Good stuff! Just took a quick peek at mine, looks amazing, can't wait to give it a spin tonight! More on topic: I'm surprised there haven't been more announcements about the 25th anniversary releases. Hopefully with the new year approaching we'll get some updates soon.

Awesome! Can't wait to grab mine tomorrow. Although I'm gonna have to stare at it at my desk all day!

Out of interest, just wondering if your Baroness Blue Record turned up? I got home today to a card from Royal Mail saying that they tried to deliver an "international item" but that no one was home for it. It's my copy of the album (as I haven't ordered anything else international). Will pick it up tomorrow morning.

Would be down for that pokemon one! And probably shadow of the colossus. For the love of GOD please do the pokemon on some sort of split or a splatter with red and blue!

Just looked, $49.60 for shipping to the UK. Never mind! Found the standard version on Banquetrecords.com, I'll stick with that.

Agreed, 100%! Definitely up there as one of, if not THE greatest game I've ever played. The gameplay itself wasn't groundbreaking, but it didn't need to be. The story, the artwork, and the world that they created was just beyond anything else I've ever played. The soundtrack was the icing on the cake. Needless to say, I will be trying my hardest to bag a copy...

The MOV Facebook page says January 12th. Not looked for pre-orders yet though. Will have a look tonight! Looks like 500 of each colour:

Couldn't see that this has been mentioned anywhere, but I saw this on Facebook earlier: http://www.musiconvinyl.com/catalog/original-soundtrack/the-lego-movie#.VJk-0l4CHU As a huge lego fan, I'm beyond excited for this!

Anything Zelda would be great, but I'd love if they especially did a Symphony of The Goddesses release. Saw the show at Hammersmith last year, was in the front row. It was simply amazing. I'd sell my soul for an official pressing of that...

This. Still waiting for my Baroness - Blue Record, but tbh it's coming to UK and it's Christmas. It'll turn up when it does. If I haven't got it by mid January I'll start asking questions, but I'm sure it'll arrive.

I like it! Some good riffs on there, and the solo is right up my alley. Think this album is gonna be a grower for sure. My Clear EP turned up at the end of last week as well, in the UK here. Not too bad considering we're in the Christmas period

So killermerch are doing a "12 Days of Sumerian" (this looks to be an annual thing?). They've pressed 200 of the Crosses album for it, and I'm wondering if maybe we'll get lucky and get a small repress of the first Periphery album. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Might be worth keeping an eye on the Sumerian Facebook page over the next week or so. Would be very good timing considering the new album will be dropping fairly soon.

That's crazy man, how can shipping to Canada be so much!? Although I'm in the UK and with shipping it's just over $43! I'm the same, only buy through Relapse for a few choice bands, Baroness, Mastodon, and a couple of others. Recently discovered that here in the UK if the item is over $25 before shipping, I'll be charged import taxes (plus an £8 handling fee!!). Shipping costs don't seem to be factored in as far as I can tell...

Oh god! Time to get the wallet out... Why do they do this to us so close to Christmas!!?? Good first post btw ;-)

Yes! Will be keeping an eye on this thread for sure...

It's “clearly“ a repress... (see what I did there?). The product page says it's limited to 500, the original pressing was limited to 250. Silver: White:
