Oh, they will be..

why wouldn't you pick the cheapest if you're so nonchalant about it. personally I pick whichever one my financial manager says is best for my vinyl portfolio.

And these labels wonder why we order from Amazon.....

Ummm..... http://ca.ign.com/articles/2016/02/05/fallout-4-fan-told-to-destroy-his-special-edition-to-secure-refund

if you want to buy everything from 16 year old goths at your local hot topic, do that. the world is your oyster!!!

I just end up buying all variants because I'm a fucking idiot.

yep, pre-ordering 6 versions is pretty pathetic.

Following this topic. Following the band. Following Relapse. My body is ready. My body wants it. My body needs it.

I really like the music on this album.

Idioteque is such a shit poster.

that was my joke Andster I do not know backdrifter but this is not a good first impression

I'll say it fuck backdrifter

It doesn't matter if you're black or white.

Eh, I'd probably take a look

looks like they stuck a 2m red on there. clearly their cat busted the old one. and then scratched off the Marantz branding. they should store their turntable in a cat-proof cabinet at floor level.

other bands should take note that high prices are getting ridiculous...

Just saw Derek's post from the first page of the thread last year. Perfect.

Still $29.99 too much for an album with that art.

Haha ok then maybe don't ask me about my purchasing habits.

signature worthy

is 30 dollars for a double LP from a major label that outrageous? I mean I don't prefer it but there's been worse (cough cough the weeknd)

Seems to be a pretty great charity. Who knows, maybe that $88 will buy an instrument for the next musical prodigy and we'll be the reason. We're the firestarters. Twisted firestarters.

Letting Young Thug choose. jk

The shipping sucks for sure I was about to ask Dustin if there's anything he can do about the shipping prices with KRM and then saw on their site the following: "We are no longer offering media mail due to its incredibly slow delivery times and high rate of damages to orders." Sounds to me like they just don't package well, I get media mail from every other company and rarely have issues.

This post is mostly for Shelby, since I told him I'd elaborate on the Godspeed show last night. But I figured a few others may be interested to read it. It was my second time catching them, and it was probably just as magical (if not more) than the first time around. I wasn't nearly as close to the stage as I was for the first go, but I still had a fantastic review of their projections and the full band. The opened with the signature Hope Drone, obviously, and at one moment I closed my eyes and imagined myself in the threshold of a turbine engine, running at full speed. Just immense. But for as crushingly loud as they were, I got lucky in the sense that it wasn't a punishing kind of loud. I had forgotten my hearing protection in the car - something I never do - and was weary of the results... but it wasn't bad at all. A bit surprising when you consider how much is happening at once on the stage, and just how loud each respective band member is. Hope went straight into Storm. They played it the last time I saw them - and even used the same footage - but it was every bit as breathtaking. But this is where I have to point out my one gripe with the band, or perhaps the venue – even though they're a clean, satisfying level of loud, they were coming out of the gates at volume 11. So when the song builds and builds, and layers are added and eventually emphasized... the change in dynamic just wasn't really there. As a result, I wasn't really getting the shifting and building that I was so accustomed to hearing from the MP3s / CDs / vinyl. When everyone was doing their thing at full force, there wasn't a lot of wiggle room to up the ante. And as a result, parts of their movements sounded a bit more repetitive than they should've been. More on that in a second. From Storm they went straight into playing their last album, Asunder, in all of its glory. Efrim's noisy solo in the middle of Peasantry sounded just as gritty as I hoped it would, and the band even took the liberty of condensing a bit of the drone out of Lambs' Breath. They wasted very little time getting into the meat of the album – before I knew it, the ghostly, melancholic strings that pave the way for Piss Crowns were met with some haunting footage-loops of deer in the dark of the night. What caught me off guard (and resonates so well with me, even 24 hours later) was the projectionist's timing in that moment. For those quite familiar with Asunder – in that last track, you know when the drums just kick in and thud, and you can tell shit is about to go down? As soon as that sound came crashing in, he flipped the footage to dedicate the entire half of the stage to a close-up of a gigantic fucking ghost-deer. It was jarring to say the least. The tension at the beginning of that track and the way he was timing the footage was just unsettling in the best way possible. I can't really describe it, but it gave me goosebumps. Piss Crowns Are Trebled was basically everything I wanted it to be. Being my second time seeing it perform – while also far more familiar with it, this time around – all of its twists, turns, rises, and falls were doubly appreciated. Sophie's violin highlight and solo just... soared. Gorgeous stuff. But going back to the volume issue; one of the best parts about Piss Crowns – and more specifically, the finale of the entire album – is how it has that stretch towards the last minute or two where everything gradually crashes harder and harder. It builds, and builds, and gets more intense with each passage, reaching a point where you assume it couldn't possibly get any more climactic and loud... at which point it kicks your teeth in and continues to raise the bar. But with the bar already so high, for every moment of the entire night, that build just wasn't there and it was a little disappointing. They just kind of played the same sequence of notes on loop. I hope someone can understand what I mean and where my [ever-so-slight] disappointment stems from, with the final moments of that song. Then the band debuted a new song, aptly titled "Buildings" to tie in with the footage of skyscrapers mid-construction, stock numbers, and city life. The bluesy guitar near the beginning caught me off guard, but this thing truly takes off and shines. I'm confident that it's the "dance" song that Gumbo referred to, when he caught them back a while ago. It was surprisingly bright and upbeat for the band, and the crowd was very aware of it – everyone was bobbing and swaying more than they did at any other point in the night. All I can say about this song, based off my one time hearing it, is that the melodies are incredibly strong and infectious. It has a great hook going for it almost immediately, and it just works and builds off of that in a very satisfying manner. It's a little optimistic for GY!BE, but I really liked it. It could sit very well on a fully fleshed album, and act as a counterweight to some of the somber material the band writes so well. Speaking of which – the band's closer. East Hastings. They didn't play it the last time I saw them, and as soon as I heard those gloomy guitar notes pierce the air, I got chills. That song begins so slow, with Efrim taking lengthy gaps in-between each bit of guitar, and out-of-focus police cars flashing their sirens on the projector. But as the songs culminates and grows, the footage gets more intense, and it's probably the coolest thing I've seen Godspeed produce in a live setting. It felt so much more intense, noisy, and dynamic than the studio version everyone is so familiar with. The climaxes were absolutely insane, and the entire thing went out in noisy glory that left me dumbfounded and grinning like an idiot. Time to sate my Godspeed kick for a few weeks, while praying to Efrim that the new album drops in 2016.

This is magical. Thanks for making my day so specia

So I guess the final part of my Fallout saga - they made me smash the disks: https://twitter.com/WalnutSoap/status/695349530712145921

you are asking the internet if something you read on the internet is accurate?

Great album title. Perfectly answers the question "Hey, is that new Say Anything album any good?"

Embossed Cover deluxe, 180 gram black 2LP, EU press /500

Fucking SRC. I want this, but I just don't want to put any money is that piece of shit's pockets.

There is certainly a bit of a bottleneck in the process when it comes to plating, but I assure you that the problem is still at the plant in terms of production. For instance, you can get tests for a release in a few weeks, but then it still takes 6+ months to get the finished product. It is the same plates that they had to use for the tests, so the delay happens at the plant. Also, lack of communication/customer service, etc. The plant has you by the balls, so they don't care to make you happy.

tommy, vinyl addict, and prince got the money numbers. here's hoping for some safeties.

What? I totally did

Ok, but did 3,500 copies sell out over night? Was there a chance of that happening (especially at those prices)? Not really. Nothing to be upset about here other than the price of the vinyl and the shipping fees.

Thanks for setting this up Konk. How about www.hungryformusic.org for a charity?

Ok back in business. $400 off Craigslist. TC-PST50, 2012 model.

$46.56 shipped for a record that's limited to 3,500 copies........$40 t-shirts.......Deftones should win an award for best in ripping off their fans.

anything young thug has ever said or thought, or may say or think in the future.

There's a ltd version over at rough trade, incl. signed art print

Just bought all of these on ebay very stoked to finally have CSD variant of beach music as well as Carrie & Lowell. Don't really care about the others too much but I will definitely check them all out as well.

Y'all who are buying 5 copies of these are going to ruin it for everyone

At first I read this as Daughters, then realized it wasn't and was disappointed. Then decided to take a listen, the single is incredible. Gonna have to check out more

it's a catch 22. the problem is, they deliberately say stuff on facebook and twitter to bait the people who are like "it's not cool to swear" so they can try to preach at them and say "see... this is what you're not supposed to do".
