sdike Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 does anyone have a good picture of the clear with maroon, yellow, and teal splatter variant? The only one i saw had hardly any splatter on it at all and was wondering if anyone had one that had heavier splatter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glass realms Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 does anyone have a good picture of the clear with maroon, yellow, and teal splatter variant? The only one i saw had hardly any splatter on it at all and was wondering if anyone had one that had heavier splatter Got my vinyl in yesterday. Splatter is cool, but both discs look completely different. It's kind of cool. D-Side Etching is really hard to see.

sdike Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 The A-side looks like what I was talking about, but your C-side is more of what I was hoping for in terms of splatter- interesting to have such a difference though. Wondering if that is on purpose or just how they are turning out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Great album. And I love what they've done with the variants, tying the colour schemes into the album artwork. I'm by no means a variant collector but I got the splatter on pre-order (I would have pre-ordered this album regardless of the vinyl colour tbh), then when I saw a picture of the blue/maroon swirl I had to pick up one of those too. Just as a piece of art, they compliment each other so well. pretentious, whatever. Glad we don't have Hot Topic in the UK though; I'd be financially ruined andyk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They rarely use colors that aren't on the cover. But I see what you're saying. This album has some of the most diverse variant styles out of all their releases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This album has some of the most diverse variant styles out of all their releases I guess what I meant is that the cover art is the most intricate and colourful they've put out and I really love how all the colours are echoed through the vinyl in a way that just doesn't compare to, say, TGG in red (which is the one I have). It feels more like one consistent piece of work, if that makes sense andyk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbfischer12 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 After a few more listens I am struggling to put my finger on what this reminds me of. Anyone else get a Thursday-City By The Light Divided vibe from some of the guitar and vocal tones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCDELTAT Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Hypothesis: "The more I care about a record the more the USPS has the desire to bend the sleeve somehow....." the lower right corner of my sleeve is pretty bad.... I honestly hate that about online pre-orders lately. I want the online variant but I want the ability to make sure my record is going to be alright. There should be insurance for that or something. Does priority shipping even help? Anyways.... got my splatter in so going to spin it today. I was holding off on listening to the album too many times before it came in.

SeeMoreGlass Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I don't know about you guys but I think other than Cigarettes and Saints, The Bluest Things on Earth is probably my favorite song on the album...holy shit is it a jammer!

nickmitch Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I gotta say A Song For Ernest Hemingway would be my favourite, closely followed by You In January. Not a bad song on the record though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cemeterytapes Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 It's gonna be glorious when they open with Cigarettes & Saints on their upcoming tour and the whole crowd sings along in the beginning and then everyone goes fucking ballistic at the end. I'm so excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parkinglot Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I received this from Amazon Prime today. It came in a HUGE box, and as a result, has massive corner bends. I'm new to ordering records from Amazon, so I'm wondering what the best way to approach this is. Should I just go through their "Return or Replace" option? I hear many stories of people getting sent replacements from Amazon without having to send the original back. That would be ideal, seeing as I could just give it to a friend, or a board member for the price of shipping. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sent me an incorrect record once, I told them and they sent the actual record. I never sent back the incorrect one because I'm never home and didn't get around to it so Ithey charged me for the price of the item I originally ordered again.

(EDIT: I probably shouldn't also be an ass, it's all good). I thought maybe there was a loophole that would involve me not having to send the record back. I'm not too concerned about Amazon losing $22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never do the return way unless it's my own fault. Like if I bought something but don't actually need it. If that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
