    mattisr1984 got a reaction from N8TRU in PO: Underoath - Ø (Disambiguation) 10"   
    feels to me like most bands know this whole revolver vinyl + NFT thing is toxic and just pissing people off because the quality of the releases that arent underoath or maynard-related are just getting worse and worse. i mean, a fucking staind live 2xlp for $70? i almost feel second-hand embarrassment for some of the other well known musicians that have attached their names to this thing that can barely move 100 records even though its not their fault. its because the program itself is a fucking joke.
     
    people are only buying these underoath records because they think there's no other viable option (even though theyve been pressed before and are likely to be pressed again independent of these).  the only other records actually selling in meaningful amounts are the puscifer LPs for obvious reasons and even those are slowing up sales-wise.
     
    i wouldnt have thought twice about picking up that bleeding through lp if it was released pretty much any other other way but i absolutely refuse to support anything associated with this. plus, the band has never said a single thing about it that im aware of which suggests to me they dont like it either. its a small sacrifice to make to not see these types of programs / prices become commonplace (if it does, thats the day i stop buying vinyl).

    do you want this to become the new normal for vinyl? because this take is how it becomes the new normal.  im not arguing against the existence of NFTs (if someone wants to buy them, go for it) but im definitely arguing against having to buy a $62 record because its packaged with an NFT. the day that it would cost me over $300 to order 5 new records is the day i stop buying music entirely.  a couple other points worth considering...
     
    1. this is being done by revolver magazine, who has been around for about two decades, but its only in the last few years they have been pushing their way into selling records, merch, etc. and it looks like they only put out 4 issues a year now. dunno about you, but im not really interested in propping up a business that's in an industry that is slowly circling the drain by buying $62 records that would cost $25-30 (ill grant you, maybe $35) if literally anybody else had pressed it.
    2. trustkill and revolver have cross-posted promoting this release but there's complete silence from the band themselves which tells me everything i need to know about how they feel about this release. not surprising considering their past with trustkill, but still a confirmation.

    mattisr1984 got a reaction from tokimedo in Glassjaw Coloring Book vinyl limited to 120 unique color combos 8/16   
    "be the first to own 1 of 120 vinyl color combinations before its available to the public"
     
    does this line not imply the following?
     
    1. theres 120 color combos, not 120 records (ie. 120 color combos spread across say - 1000 or 2000 records. think the vinyl bong that converge has done).
    2. available first to people that order tix/record combo, then to the public by themselves
     
    if im wrong, ill be the first to admit it but to me its basically in plain english. if only 120 actual records existed, they wouldnt even say these are going to be available to the public because they will be gone before thats even possible. oh, and there is no way on earth it would even be cost effective make these if they only made a 120 of them. im pretty sure anyone that presses records on this board could confirm that.

    clear w/ shard copies of axe to fall don't even sell for anywhere near that price (and thats a better album + cooler looking record). that record will sit on discogs forever.

    i like the album quite a bit but the latter half of the record is definitely more on the mellow side. to me, the first two songs that were released and all the music used in the promo videos were a pretty good indicator of the direction this record was headed.

    Yes, but you're also talking about pretty old records that have found their way into people's permanent collections over a period of years - not something that was released 10 days ago.
     
    I mean, don't get me wrong - I'm definitely a fan of sleep, high on fire, om, etc. But I've never thought of any of these bands as being hyped this much. I know it's been a long time since sleep has put out a full length but if people are this crazy about this record they should be losing their minds over om and high on fire records as well because influences from those projects has definitely crept into sleep. Anyway, rambling aside - I just can't see 10k of something being this difficult to find so I suspect once the hype dies down they'll be easier to find. Wait 10-15 years though - and yeah, one of 10k could be just as hard to find as those Mars Volta or AFI LPs.

    mostly only in that the album is pretty much an EP's worth of material. take out the two tracks that are less than 40 seconds each and youre down to 7 tracks. for what it is, i dont hate it but to me it sounds like AN/GUTG if they were thrown in a blender with dashes of the bronx, cold cave, some girls and coliseum. also echo the sentiment that "War" is the best track.
