Shelby Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 This record is so fucking good. It's such a dangerous length too, very easy to play again immediately after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Barkley Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I'm going to be honest, after listening to the album, I have no idea if I folded the damn packaging back to the way it originally was. Eliminator Jr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I'm going to be honest, after listening to the album, I have no idea if I folded the damn packaging back to the way it originally was. I settled with the pockets being on the right with the side resembling the cover on the front before sliding on the slipcase. I have no clue what it originally came as haha.

adamha21 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I picked this up yesterday. Wow, sounds great! Explosions is exploring new territory instead of the same old schtick. deer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyhambone Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Most excellent album, one of my favorites heard from them. just picked up tix to see them in Sept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamha21 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I do agree with the comments above though. The packaging is the least practical album in my entire collection. What a pain in the ass and doesn't fit my oversized sleeves either. I have 3 albums of over 1000 lp's that don't fit any sleeves. Explosions has 2 of the 3. thesewoodenideas and Skacel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesewoodenideas Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 My Blue variant from the EITS store finally arrived on Saturday. Very mellow vibe on the album but a nice change of pace. Packaging is cool but a bit of a pain. A regular gatefold, potentially with optional cool foldy bits that don't affect anything, and a slipcase over it would even have been preferable. Slimmer package overall than Take Care though so that's a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thievedrelic Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I had a sleeve that fit it; it was a sleeve that VinylDigital mailed me a replacement in. I'm not sure of the size specs. I can verify that there is an outer sleeve out there that will fit it, though. I do agree with the comments above though. The packaging is the least practical album in my entire collection.

joneboon Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Got mine today, finally... I get the opinions on the packaging. Took me a while to get it out and after playing it took some time to get it back in, especially the outer sleeve. Anyway loving the album, sounds even better on vinyl IMO. And love the etching on the transparant record thesewoodenideas and Burkazoid 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExtraFox Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 No tour variant in Glasgow The merch guy said maybe when they come back to Europe later in the year. WWPJ have their last record on yellow for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glass realms Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Sweet. That increases my chances of getting the tour variant when they resume their US tour in May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What fucking use is them having the record in Rome? We need it now! Btw, I stopped by Assai in Dundee in my way here. Still loads of RSD stock available.

thesewoodenideas Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Shame they didn't bring the World Tour variant on their world tour. Ah well stops me being a second copy (for now!) Enjoy the gig folks. Looking forward to Dublin tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHerbalLife Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Moral dilemma time! So, lets say you have ordered a copy of this record and paid for it to be shipped to a US address but then decided to pay an extra amount for international shipping to receive it in a timely fashion and spin it on your turntable over the ocean. Regardless of the recalculation, the record is still shipped to the initial US address. You receive an apology for the error and a full refund, including money for the record itself (that is, not only for the shipping that was erroneous). The record is technically still in your possession, as it is situated at a relative's place but you won't be able to listen to it for a good while. I kind of know what one would have to do but not quite what one would want to do in this situation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainHerbalLife Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Always a certain satisfaction that comes with doing the right thing. Indeed. I was swayed to accept their payment as money flow is tight right now. I was also influenced by the fact that it wasn't straight from the band and merchtable was the middle man here. It would've been easier to decline if it was straight from EITS. This way the band will still have one extra record sale under their belt but won't carry any losses. (if I'm assuming correctly). To me it seems Merctable have taken the easy way out with so eagerly having sent the money back, in case I might start too much of a protest for the shipping mistake. Let's say I moved but requested the package to be sent to an updated address and they still sent it wrong, that would be fair policy. But as of now I'm thinking they didn't understand that the address they sent it to is totally valid, just not where I myself reside. So I'm still kind of iffy about taking it. I can still paypal them for the vinyl of course. I doubt they'd asked for it back. I have been mailed two copies of a record before on accident but they just told me to keep it. Do the right thing and ask if they need it in case they're short for other people Yeah that isn't the case here and they definitely won't. The record that I was sent is at my aunt's place and I won't be getting it in my hands before she happens to take a trip over the ocean (which might not be anytime soon). They didn't send me a replacament, just refunded the whole payment. Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeliberatiooooooon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
