well, we couldn't do a 1000 pressing, the rights holders have a minimum (which needs to be paid 100% up front or they won't release the rights to the pressing plant) so it would be a very large "need to fund" cost. The plus side is, once the deal of splitting the pressing was worked out, the turnaround time was about 2.5-3 months. so if we did a crowd funding thing with a set amount, if people's cards or whatever are charged, the turnaround would be more like a normal pre-order. We won't hold up new material, have a new album before end of year and a double early next year. no worries there.

Was bumping three old threads for this neccessary my dude?

LOL at knowing ~36 people IRL who care about underoath. i would have to reevaluate my relationships if that ever happened.

“A Dance Gavin Dance fan and his money are soon parted” - Rise Records

But it makes sense for DGD fans

It's all conjecture. I'm just saying it's far more probable you'll hear from the dissenters than the people who liked it. It's just a general trait of people to invest time in complaining as opposed to taking the time to express a positive opinion. A quick scan of Spotify's top streams shows 3 of their top 10 are from Erase Me and another two are random one-off singles they did with other artists in 2018 & 2019. Again, there's really no way to know but I suspect their recent output has been an overall positive move/net gain for the band.

I guess some things just weren't meant to be. That bust is your life partner now.

180 gram 7 inch records. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Someone somewhere decided it would be a good idea to release an expanded version of it.

Pretty sure that Storf has explained some of these new releases as being open orders that they'll produce tons of that won't go out of stock anytime soon, hence the missing pressing qty label.

this album was easily the hottest garbage of 2018.

Got damn that’s a beautiful mock-up. https://www.bullmoose.com/p/31265073/m83-dsvii-pink-galaxy-vinyl

They just must hate you.

Official video!

2019 is the year of paying-for-shit-you've-already heard. TA re-release, Atari's demos, Tiny Moving Parts releasing the exact same album for a third time in a row, etc.

I may be biased since I went through all the hassle of having the new master done, but I think it sounds great. We had to have this pressed at GZ in the czech republic which I am not a fan of. I have never liked the Direct to Metal cutting they do there and while they DO accept lacquers we had 2 different lacquer cutters refuse to do it if GZ was pressing, so... it was a bit stressful for us. This record is technically about 4 minutes too long to comfortably put on one piece of vinyl without some fidelity problems. we lucked out in that the song that was going to suffer the most "lesser lights of heaven" being at the end of side 1 has almost no low end in it anyway and is KIND of blown out a bit on the original album. so inner groove distortion on any song, THAT was the one to have it happen, so without even shifting songs around, the song that would have suffered the most from a long cut is the song that kind of didn't matter if it did because, it kind of sounds like that anyway. the irony is, the very things we don't like about what the DMM cutting process were already built into the record anyway (mostly the lack of Bass frequencies and a little to much brightness on the top end) . So we didn't lose anything by using this process, there is a distinct lack of low end on the record and the high end is bright, so nothing changed. DMM DOES allow a longer/louder cut which can be more forgiving on the Inner Grooves, and that was what we needed more. overall (and i can say this objectively since i am not ON the album) i think this master sounds WAY better than the CD/Digital versions, there is actually a lot more clarity to everything without sounding drastically different, and when it matters, the quiet parts really get quiet to allow the loud parts to jump out more. -- the rest of the guys all commented on this when they heard the vinyl so it's not just me.

Rise Records has repress all of Dance Gavin Dance's albums on black vinyl. It's an "UNLIMITED PRESSING" so no limit on the number of copies. https://dgd.merchnow.com/

The album still rules. It’s different and that’s OK. Watch the documentary and listen to it again. “New” song is definitely more like their older material which is always appreciated.

I had Sparta-Wiretap Scars in my car for a solid 3 years. Nothing like getting off work later in the night and blasting Air!

I usually just have a few mix CD’s I’ve ripped.

I've had Minus the Bear's Menos el Oso in my CD player for years now. They're my drive music. Third Eye Blind's S/t is definitely a solid choice as well. Other than that I'd probably say Glassjaw - Worship & Tribute, Jimmy Eat World - Futures, and Say Anything - ... is a Real Boy.

Yeah this sounds awesome, I gave it a spin and listened wearing my headphones. Very little surface noise that I could tell and no pops. Also I have to say that it's very cool to hear something new in an album that you've listened to continuously for about 15 years. I was blown away when I heard some snare ghost notes I hadn't heard before. I had a big dumb grin on my face. I'm so glad this project came to fruition.

That's a thick fucking 7"

I say do a kick starter and see how that goes. We all stuck thru the wait on this one and if the funding can be there in full via kick starter I think us fans would definitely contribute into making it work, even if it's a smaller run of 1000 if possible. But honestly... focus on new material first because I'm loving everything that's coming out right now. Can't wait for the new album.

after what we learned on this one, don't know how it's possible without a repeat of this fiasco. the only thing we can think of is a kickstarter type deal for the full amount of the license where if it doesn't fund, it doesn't happen, and nobody is charged until we know the full amount can be handed to the rights owners (which when people see what that amount is will maybe stop giving tragic hero a hard time and realize that they were absolutely bonkers to put their necks on the line to even do funeral in the first place) - hint, the license (not the pressing, the license) is more than was spent to actually make either record in the first place.

I went back and ordered it. What is wrong with me?

Since these are unlimited, I’m going to wait until they have a sale. I really hope the box set isn’t just these in a box.

Why did we buy those damn Jonas Brothers records?!?!?!?!

New 180 gram black variant. Unlimited pressing. https://merchnow.com/products/v2/296019/summertime-gladnesspussy-vulture-180gr-black-7inch

man....Relapse really is milking that Death discography...I wonder if Schuldiner's mom is actually seeing any of the profit(s)... that colorway looks great, but not at 70+ shipped. My wife would probably divorce me if I put that bust in our living room next to the stereo 😂

The album probably did better than we all think. I'd bet for every person who disliked it there were five people who had the opposite reaction.

In for this. Sold off all my variants anyway.

I will forever defend it as "not THAT bad" though

"collectors item that will move fast, these are STRICTLY limited to infinity and beyond" -merchnow, probably

The wait was terrible on this release, but I will 100% make sure you get your order. Just send me an email. I have a *very* small stack of orders that are pending shipment and if yours is in there, I can let you know. If yours isn’t in there, I can figure out what’s happening and still get you squared away. [email protected] Never again will i do a preorder thanks to how poorly this went down. Lesson learned. That said, this NWBD 7” is in hand and also shipping immediately!

Hoping for pre orders today

How convenient that it wasn't available to add as a track for $23 but now it's available in store at $34. It's getting harder and harder to support their shenanigans.

Showed up today, more of a frosted color than clear. Spinning now, really actually loving the female vocals, I'd listened to Tycho a number of times before but it usually just makes me want to listen to Boards of Canada Production/mix and vinyl mastering are all really good, it's a treat to the ears.

Full length from .gif from god. Pretty sure it's being released by Prosthetic but right now it's only been made available through the band's bandcamp. These guys aren't death metal but for lack of a better thread I'm posting in here... https://giffromgod.bandcamp.com/album/approximation-of-a-human

They can probably do a 2xLP of b-sides and demos. A 3xLP for the Alexandria Palace show (or another live show). Couple that with the main album for a 7xLP super deluxe edition. Alex was on the radio a few months back talking about how they were trying to work with the BBC to put out a full BBC Sessions release. This might be a teaser to that release as well.

I gotta say that artwork is fucking great. The tracklisting in the teaser shows A, B, C, D sections but the preorder on Mute doesn't indicate it as a 2xLP. I hope it is, if it means a longer album length. Edit: I've been corrected below. That big paragraph on Mute's preorder page was too much for my attention span so I didn't bother to read the first two sentences lol

Nice! Thank you! Had to snatch up that Mailorder Boxset!

Heartthrob >

This is the most least entertaining troll VC has ever had. 0/10. Let this thread die.

yeah, I don't think its a crazy endeavour. Its a bit cringy when they say they'll buy more copies of Lover. I like supporting artists, but super weird to buy multiple copies of a record to support a multi millionaire sticking it to another multi millionaire

Dope. I'll have to wait to see how Amazon JP comes through since I've never done that before.

I woke up this morning to a shipping notification from beatnick stating my order had shipped. I Came home from work and this was waiting for me. I don't know why I can't submit the image directly, here it is: https://imgur.com/tmh22BF Very minimum packaging. Black vinyl, heavy weight. It sounds pretty damn good. second edit: some noticable sibilance on side a

Hopefully although I want a regular version none of that 4 disc madness they did the first time

This gives me hope for a reissue of Finally We Are No One! Green Grass of Tunnel is my jaaaaam.

after I got this email from rise: I sent them this email: and I wasn't expecting anything to come of it, but today when I got the mail I was surprised to find that they did send me the blue one, but they also sent me an autographed copy of DGD-self titled cd. Big time kudos to Rise Records. Way above and beyond if you ask me.
