Avocado, Riot Act and Binaural on Amazon now.

I dont think Ive listened to an album this intensely in years. This might be a little premature but I think this album might be the greatest album I've listened to in about 10 years... I'm not one of those people who thinks a band can do no wrong either, if this was shit, id say it. Bravo Brand New, this is truly a work of art.

The world needs further down the spiral pressed.

Site won't load for me, anyone else? edit: nevermind, I got in

Not to play defender, as they're complicit or even guilty in some cases, but UO doesn't really make anything. They have vendors which they buy products from. But because most of everything is sold without implying what vendor it may have come from, it looks like UO ripped off some artist. Should they check more thoroughly for that stuff? Yes. But the responsibility really lies with the vendor to not be a piece of shit and rip off indie artists.

Nope. A lot of people out there have definitely held a lot more conflicting jobs to pay the bills, I get it. Just haven't seen any thread boil down into such a UO bash-fest before.

Just came here to post that. A buddy of mine (who sometimes goes on VC), was 43rd in line. Got the slipmat, a guaranteed signed record and spot in line for later.

I guess this is the give away, pretty sweet

The inevitable questions regarding the packaging of deviations and the balls up of the store orders are going to be interesting...

EARLY DROP!!! EARLY DROP!!! http://www.npr.org/2017/09/14/550446122/first-listen-godspeed-you-black-emperor-luciferian-towers Bosses Hang is my favorite Godspeed song now. Part 3.... ugh. That is heaven for me. That section could be 20 minutes long and I'd never get sick of it.

So happy I resisted the urge to pre-order this.

Dear Lord. This is the worst one yet. I really hope he is concentrating all these kinds of pop abominations onto one album and that the black album will be continuing from White/EWBAITE. Pray for us all.

Speaking of Riot, I can't believe I'll be seeing NIN live for the first time in less than 48 hours. And then QOTSA a day later? Life is good.

The simple point is that, if a producer chooses to capitalize on a product's scarcity (making it 'out of' a relatively low number), especially in a market particularly based on rarity, then later, after the money is collected, renege on that 'agreement' and make a bunch of copies of the exact same fucking thing, no one should be shocked or surprised that there is backlash from the consumer. Yes, yes, 'more records for more customers = good thing,' but - echoing many others in this thread - if that's what they wanted, they should have done it open to begin with. If they were gonna make a bunch eventually, every record shoulda been cheaper. But this 'hype' 'snooze ya lose' bullshit about buying new records forces people to be quick on the button, and when that hot-on-the-button savvy is cheapened like this, everyone who paid money ahead of time thinking they were securing a coveted spot is stabbed in the back. You can downplay the 'rarity game', but it's ever-present when buying new releases. There are websites and forums and a gazillion notifications constructed to make sure people are aware of new, limited releases. There's dozens of new PO's in this forum every day for that sole reason. It's an inextricable part of this community. People SHOULD be mad, because where does that stuff end? Soon every 'limited deluxe' that costs 60 bucks for 'true fans' will just make more when the preorders are done, and the value of everything decreases, and people will stop preordering because who cares, they'll just make more. Then smaller labels preorder advances will shrink and smaller labels will fold left and right. I know I'm taking an extreme slippery slope view, but I can't help but be drawn to these conclusions. Seriously, just make a separate second pressing, how is it not the same thing? Why make it identical, just to be sure to spit in the face of the preorders? And no, a tiny sentence indicating the second press isn't good enough if that's the only difference. I'll agree to that much.

this album is fantastic. definitely gonna try to grab a copy.

Well this one just HAS to hit the goal....this is too good not to be on vinyl. The new album from Robots With Rayguns! For those not familiar, this is some pretty solid synthwave/synthpop stuff and the first RWR album to have a vinyl release. It is really, really good too! It's called 'Slow Jams' because it's all low tempo stuff and it's pretty good chillout music too . 200 need to be sold for it to happen, but 60 have sold in a week. It will be a 2LP mastered for vinyl from original mixes. http://qrates.com/artists/SofaKingVinyl/items/14334

STILL IS COMING!!!!!!!

Oh mannn yes.. been waiting for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo since it came out!

The items are cool but nothing is surprising. Here's to hoping that TGWTDT gets a standard reissue.

$400?! I was happy with my purchase five minutes ago, but tuition won't pay itself...

Versions at BM, including a glitter purple swirl which won me over: http://www.bullmoose.com/search?Q=uncle acid vol. 1&As=false&Cid=0&Pf=&Pt=&btnsearch=Search

Not vinyl-related, but fuck yes. I know what I'll be doing this December...

Yeah, and most people already don't know how to drive through a 4-way stop.

Ugh why is this so fucking hard for people to understand? I'm not in Florida, but this is a universal problem and it's infuriating.

LOL, i'm jewish...

Can't wait to hear it. There are shops from the EU that are posting the LP today on ebay, so some have it in hand, but you're right, I'm also surprised PO's didnt pop up at any of the usual spots. I'll check in at Amoeba Hollywood today to see whats what.

NIN probably brought along stock of all the represses from the store which at this point is the only place to get them. I feel like I should try to go to this.

Truth, and while we can't blame Yip for Circa writing music that all sounds the same, maybe another producer would point it out and steer them differently.

Bought last yellow. #Imlivinontheedge

I'ma pass on that UO variant, like all UO variants---that company is trash and even if it's a band i love, I rather not support any UO release. They're notorious for stealing art from small illustrators and designers and are relentless about it. Obviously this isn't entirely relevant to this thread or vinyl and y'all can do whatever you want with your money but I figured i'd point it out for anyone that's in that field and takes offense to that sort of thing

Seeing him on stage with them at High and Low was incredible. He added to every song.

Is Hot Topic... not Hot anymore...? (sound off in the comments below)

Hide yo wife

Haven't spun it in a bit, but IIRC, the 2xLP sounds great. If I had power, I'd check.

Ok took a bunch of pic of my collection so I could catolog what I have figured I'd share it. Some shots comparing the OG presses vs the new ones. Hit me up if you have any questions.

Yeah the color came out super strange, sorry about that. We were confused as well.

Gonna be tough to make that stick here... A place where a number of members prefer to flip their purchases for a wad of stranger's money, over reselling at cost to dedicated fans.

I've been using Kiwi shoe polish for years with no issue. They have a few different colors but I prefer black so I don't compromise the integrity of the vinyl

I really didn't think I'd be listening to this album as much as I am.
