https://www.plaidroomrecords.com/ An early shout for these guys, who are displaying their stock levels although they don't go online until tomorrow at 8am EST. Plenty of copies of The Crow.

I got 4 out of 5 wants so I consider myself lucky since I was so far back in line. Just gotta find a Weezer Dusty Gems. Oh and the manager of my shop said he didn’t order any of the 3”s. He said “they require buying the little player. Fuck that.” Kudos to him.

This happens every year. People can’t control themselves and panic buy. Almost all RSD titles will be available for MSRP in a few hours. I’ve never missed out on something I really wanted. Patience is the name of the game.

FYI....The Crow is a really good pressing to my ears. (Turntable is a Project Debut Carbon and is the weakest part of my setup). First thing ive played so far. Im no audiophile expert but no pops whatsoever. Rocks like hell. Dead quiet in between songs. Really happy with it.

Leftovers will be up at http://1234gorecords.com/recordstoreday at 5am EST on Sunday the 14th. We are no running this out of a squarespace store instead of our janky old webstore so you can use credit cards or paypal if you like. We tested this out on Black Friday and it worked like a dream. Processing time on the orders was greatly reduced as well so we're faster than ever!

EVERYBODY PILE ON BARONESS!! AKA Nickelback lite hurr durrr! Are people seriously preordering this band's albums and complaining over the new singles 7 YEARS after Yellow & Green came out?? That's rich! Also, suckers! Or maybe flippers... Hah. Haters coming out the woodwork to blast a band that has only gotten more popular with every release. Love it, and I guess that's to be expected. Baroness rules. Comparing them to the Foo Fighters is hilarious btw. Also, I don't think the band has lost anything with regards to complexity ('Seasons' for example). The rhythm section is tight as a mug, and the new female guitarist shreds. Bring on the hate.

only bought one this year - lost in translation OST. had to wait two hours for it but very pleased to have gotten it.

Thread title updated to match the color of the vinyl.

The original way i listened to it in my 88 firebird driving to school

Snagged Anderson East, Office Space & found Thrice at the 4th & last store I went to. Also picked up Lily & Madeleine and American Football as non-RSD purchases. Found The Crow soundtrack on cassette for $5 so I grabbed that haha

I'm working today which goes well with my philosophy that "making money is better than spending money." Nonetheless, I'll be looking for The Crow and Bone Thugs online tomorrow.

Don’t give a damn about the naysayers… I’m excited for this record and if anyone is surprised about the direction that Baroness has taken - that’s their own fault. The band has continuously moved away from their earlier sound and are now into more of a progressive territory. If you don’t like it, go away. Thousands of other people have bought this one and it will likely keep selling, keep getting press and ultimately be a good addition to their catalog. There are still 15 songs to hear and I’m looking forward to each one.

A non-pic disc of Art Damage would be sweet too

Got everything I wanted except Depreciation Guild. I did help three people get stuff they would’ve missed out on otherwise, though, so I’m hoping good karma will hit me back and I’ll secure a copy by the end of the day.

What a turd: https://www.discogs.com/sell/item/928408206

I mean it is only a limited number they have with them n I didnt want to double dip n then go through the hassle of then trying to find a buyer when my yellow gets here. Did grab one for someone here n sent it out this morning so i didnt wanna take two from the table. Patience is the one thing this hobby has taught me.

i just talked to the guys in the band and they said that the Max Payne 3 soundtrack is coming out on vinyl later this year, they’re just waiting on Rockstar to get things finalized.

Was about 25th in line this morning and batted 1000%. Green Day, High On Fire, Bill Hicks, The Ramones, The Rolling Stones, The Crow.

I stand by what I said. My wife enjoys Crack the Skye. I shoot her the stink eye every time she puts it on...

Wh what what? Crack the Skye is solid, and I actually enjoyed Emperor of Sand a decent bit. Seemed like a bit of a return to form for Mastodon. Still not amazing, but pretty good. Leviathan will still forever be the high point of their career though

Tons of great points (down to your take on Mastodon) that I totally agree with. Blue's flow is kinda' weird at moments, I'd agree with that. I think there are cool components to each of the singles so far but maybe my disappointment should be channeled towards Friedman more than anything or anyone else at this point. I dread the idea of being wowed by a handful of the 15 new songs but forever wondering how good they could sound.

Gumbo, do you work for A1KA?

This back and forth regarding how much Baroness sucks/doesn't suck is way over the top. In general, I've liked recent Baroness (not loved). I've hated the production on this and Purple (seriously Fridmann, I'm done with your bullshit), but I would in no way categorize anything Baroness does as butt-rock or compare them to the Foo Fighters, who, since The Colour and Shape, have gone from meh to "even my dad is bored as fuck." I love me some roaring Baizley, but I think the band has been fairly successful at exploring sonic areas outside of thrash/sludge metal. They've been way more successful at exploring prog/rock than contemporaries like Mastodon (imo: fuck everything after Blood Mountain). I honestly love Yellow & Green - I think it's an honest and interesting record both compositionally and in terms of production. Purple had some moments, but the production killed it for me. The singles released so far from Gold & Grey have been fine. They're fine... Not great, but by no means bad. I really hope there is something more interesting on the record, but I'm not going to regret pre-ordering. If I were to rank all things Baroness, this would be my order: Red Yellow & Green First/Second Blue Purple A Grey Sigh in a Flower Husk Sorry, Blue lovers. That album has some of my favorite songs, but I think the flow kind of sucks as an album.

.... Wait, wait, wait. What's wrong with Foo Fighters???

Do any online stores put up leftovers tonight? I thought 1234go used to but last year it took them forever to get them up.

Snagged: Twin Peaks Erykah Badu - tempted Courtney Barnett Death Grips Robyn Jeff Tweedy The Crow Lost in Translation Gorillaz

Pmd

Store has Bingo hand Job 32 99 My Chemical Romance for 3499

Dang. Thanks for checking - Plaid Room says $20.99 so I’ll wait for their leftovers.

I don't believe this! The creator of The Crow comic book, James O'barr, is gonna be at my store today at 4 pm. But they only ordered 5 fuckin records!!! WTflyingF!!!

I went to 4 st petersburg record stores and just barely got only 1 copy of the used ep that I wanted...close call! but woohoo!

I got lucky this year and was able to get the only copy of Justin Courtney Pierre's 4-Track 12" EP that my store got in. I didn't even think to request for my store to get it in, I just thought it was going to be exclusive to Minneapolis stores for some reason. It was the only thing that interested me this year and I am glad I was able to get it.

Bullmoose will most likely have plenty monday morning.

A friend of mine got one, and another tried to grab one for me but the store only got one.

I watch EBay every year rather than go out and stand in line. FYI there is much much less frenzied buying there this year. Ebay limited the amount of pre-sales they allowed. Last year there were many titles selling for $100+ at this hour of RSD. Today there are only a handful (Devo Box, Jerry Garcia, Skip Spence). Lost of $50 records but very little at high high prices.

Body talk got a fucking reissue?!?

My RSD2019 haul, except for on the far left, which came in the mail today and the far right, which were 3 for 10 bucks. Still missing a bunch of UK exclusives like Suede, Elastica & Sol Seppy. I'll either order online from a UK retailer or try to buy them when I'm in Athens at the beginning of May. P.S. Any Greek users know if any stores in Athens carry RSD titles, especially the UK ones? This would save me shipping costs/possibility of parcel damage or loss. P.P.S. No, that's not some The Lonely Island vinyl you're correct to think you've never heard of. It's a Canadian modern-classical record for bassoon. Lol too weird to not grab for free.

thx! Actually I think the only places that got it were the ones close to venues for the Ministry shows.

@dollarsandcents

Did RSD at Newbury Comics in Boston again. Was maybe 10th in line, got pretty much everything I was after. Just missed the Hockey Dad 12" which I don't know if NC even got any copies in. Quick in and out today. Hope everyone's getting what they're after.

You passed up on having this 2 months early because you ordered a yellow? That is crazy and patient all in one

EVERYBODY STOP THE NEGATIVITY!! AKA no discussion or opinions hurr durr! Are people seriously preordering this band's album in hopes that they'll stop being mediocre after 7 YEARS?? That's rich! Also, delusional! Or maybe gluttons for disappointment... Hah. Longtime fans participating in the thread to blast a band that has only gotten more watered down and radio accessible with every release. Love it, and I guess that's to be expected. Baroness are okay. Comparing them to the Foo Fights is hilarious btw. Also, I can't seem to grasp that a single's technical riff ≠ complex or interesting songwriting ('Birthing' for example). The production is kinda' balls, but at least the new female guitarist shreds. Bring on the hate.

Black also a hype sticker stating only 1500 pressed. I asked for a clear but was given a black, didn't realise till I got home as I put it in my bag without checking. Ah well, rookie mistake. Will pass it along once my grey arrives. Also, the show was incredible!!

I stand corrected. I’m still annoyed by Grohl though.

Ya know. That same thought crossed my mind. Why all of a sudden is he an expert witness on everything music?!?! In this case, what ties does he have to Chicago and Wax Trax and industrial music? “Oh! Ministry were on Lollapalooza. Nirvana were offered to be on Lollapalooza at one time. I ran into Al Jourgensen once and we talked.”

Don't need this but I have the Mussolini Headkick record and its great. I've been banned twice from Insta for posting when I play it.

That cash grab box set is awesome! May go for that. I love some classic Wax Trax music and bands. I know everyone likes to be more into the Ministry and offshoots and side projects when it comes to WT releases (and I am!), but I was always even more into Sister Machine Gun and My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult.
