It seems they really tried to make this a special package (im kind of sick of clear vinyl) but the color fits the package. Any other cool goodies? I saw someone on insta with a ring or pin? The note they sent was cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they're waiting until Friday. *edit* When I log into my account through the Arts & Crafts website, it doesn't show up in my order history either; all I see is the downloads. However, if I go through the link in my order confirmation email it's there. I'm doing local pickup as well and it was still in my order history yesterday, but not today. I emailed them to see what's up and hopefully I'll be able to pick it up today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August West Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Just got mine today! No shipping notice and website still says pending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrodan Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 if anyone isn't into this and wants to trade/sell, hit me up. want a coke bottle clear and missed the boat. I have plenty of other recent releases that perhaps you missed the boat on. let's scratch each other's backs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watch4zombies Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Can confirm also no shipping notification but received my coke bottle clear in the mail yesterday. The gatefold and record came out beautiful, lots of love was put into this release and it shows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not holding my breath. A+C are notorious for not responding (which is one of the reasons why I very rarely order from them anymore). Kind of annoying everyone else is getting theirs and we're not getting any notification for pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idioteque... Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Just got mine in and i still have pending status too. packaging is beautiful. Self titled is a nice gatefold as is Forgiveness Rock Record but those still lacked proper inner sleeves. You Forgot it has the best cover but terrible package (single sleeve for double vinyl) but this is beautiful. Love the lyric book being a part of the packaging. The clear is different from any other clear i got, has a greenish tint to it. I would have loved it if it was embossed or had some felt material on it but thatd prob raise the cost. Only thing is I did not get a thank you not like some have. Maybe a canada thing? Cause this seems to be shipped from a us warehouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddyseth Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Could anyone share a recording of the bonus song Old Dead Young? I'll take anything, I'm a big fan but strapped for cash. So if you seriously just want to hold your phone next to the player I'll be okay. I just really want to hear that song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voltagedrop Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Just picked up my coke bottle clear from their office. Still came with the handwritten note and the vinyl bonus track is included with the digital download. Shame it didn't make the record proper as it's one of the best tracks.

radiatorhums Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Just finishing up my first listen of the black retail variant and it's a great sounding. Nice and clean straight through. I don't know if anything on this hits me immediately like some stuff on Forgiveness Rock Record did, but I've enjoyed it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdomestic Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) I picked mine up from the A&C office during lunch and I'm keeping it boxed up until I get home tonight. I didn't really like Forgiveness Rock Record (I LOVE the self-titled) so I'm hoping it's a little different. How do you guys think it stacks up against their other albums? *edit* Had a chance to spin it tonight and my favourite songs are "Mouth Guards of the Apocalypse", "Stay Happy", "Old Dead Young", and "Towers and Masons". I guess YFIIP and s/t will always have their place in the discography so there's no need to remake them. Now I'm curious how much influence Dave Newfeld had on those two records. I'd just love to hear these guys make another song like "Almost Crimes" or "Ibi Dreams of Pavement".

achillesstand7 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Never really listened to these guys, but this new album is awesome. I'll probably pick it up from my local store this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I'm ashamed to admit that their earlier albums didn't leave any kind of real impact on me back in the day, but Hug of Thunder is aces. Will probably prowl for that coke bottle since I'm so late to the party, and will definitely have to revisit their prior catalog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't be able to tell which one is which because they're all in boxes/packaging. Canuckle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The girl got it from a different room and it was already packaged and bagged with my name on it. If you're nearby it wouldn't hurt to just stop by and ask. They have a nice office. There's some cool memorabilia up on the walls and an awesome translucent glass thing of the s/t artwork. Side note - I just found out that June Records has copies of the red pressing of the s/t album. Collection is one step closer to complete ☺ OneThreeOneTwo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
