xadamhudsonx Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I do believe the award goes to... My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade Deluxe Edition LP $54.99 This special edition of The Black Parade features a slip-case box, two 15-page books and 2 triple gatefold sleeves. Only 2,500 made! 4 records included. -You know it's a bunch of kids who know NOTHING about vinyl buying these up. $55 bucks for this bullshit?

kyle Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 That sounds retarded. Why does it need to be two triple gatefold sleeves? Or 4 records? WTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dante3000 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I know it didn't come out this year, but I think the two year winner needs to be: http://store.acousticsounds.com/browse_detail.cfm?Title_ID=36308 Say what you will but $100 is too fucking much for an album that was so mediocre. Even the Discbox was only $80ppd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no, there's the $40 one: http://store.acousticsounds.com/browse_detail.cfm?Title_ID=36307 Which is (according to the RHCP website)"4 super sounding regular weight records in 2 high quality double gatefold sleeves and housed in a beautiful slipcase box" Not 180g, or anything just four records. The Deluxe Art edition has: "includes two 16-page booklets for "Jupiter" and "Mars" bound with blue and red thread, 4 180 Gram High Performance Vinyl records each placed in individual art sleeves with audiophile inner sleeves." And costs $100. Sorry RHCPs, I love your work but $100 for an 4xLP that could be trimmed to a single (good) record is a waste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest abravemorning Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Did My Chemical Romance release a standard edition of that Black Parade LP? A local store has it for $20, but I haven't seen anything about a normal, cheaper pressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 My Chemical Romance = suckiness RHCP = not released anything great since 'Californication'...the zenith was 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivsavage Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 My Chemical Romance = suckinessRHCP = not released anything great since 'Californication'...the zenith was 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik' Both true. RHCP are probably the most annoying band on radio today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I used to be a hardcore RHCP fan in high school...like totally gung-ho for them...I was ecstactic when John Frusciante re-joined the band for 'Californication'...I was torn between that and 'The Fragile' as best albums (to me) of 1999...and then they out out 'By The Way'...evn though it had some ok songs, the album as a whole felt like a disappointment...they haven't been the same since...as I said already, 'Blood Sugar...' was their pinnacle...although 'Mother's Milk' and 'Uplift Mofo Party Plan' are very dear to my heart...

patron Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I actually prefer Hillel to John. As far as RHCP albums go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I actually prefer Hillel to John. As far as RHCP albums go. Different styles for sure...Hillel definitely knew how to lay down the funk-style of guitar playing...whereas John came in with more of the 'metal' style...not literally speaking of course...but more as an approach...I could be wrong... Oakland is probably more of the authority on John Frusciante around here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patron Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 That's why I like the older albums so much more. I love their funk stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patron Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I actually listened to the first disc of Stadium Arcadium today during work for the first time in well over a year. I used to be obsessed with it and it's not nearly as good as I remember it, but I'll straight out say that Wet Sand is probably one of the best songs I've heard in a very long time.

nickheitman Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 i stole the mcr normal edition from hot topic. i actually like mcr, but they need to chill out. any band that sells "deluxe editions" on vinyl seem like they are superior to every other band out there.

chiefwahoo Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Purchased but not released this year. But still ridiculous. And I love them both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momentumlost Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 What about hore the band pizza? I love the album...but the packaging is a bit over the top for sure... 1 10" pic disc housed in a custom pizza box with a pizza table and the liner notes on a pizza flyer.....its not as expensive/crappy as mcr or rhcp.....but damn if it isn't over the top...esp. For a smaller band... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
