I'd actually wager to guess it's just lazy coding, where that dropdown is present on all products, and only the relevant choices are active or present for the record you're viewing. I peeked at a Tool bootleg and the dropdown list was identical. Plus, I mean, if there were 16 prior bootleg variants... I'd like to believe someone, somewhere, would've posted about it before. Probably. Maybe. I'm on a bit of a roll with getting to the bottom of the confusion in this thread using basic context. What's the next question?

Let's keep cool heads here ladies and gentlemen, also if you're gonna dish it out but can't take it try logging off instead of reporting people.

I wish he'd release Machina/Machina II already so I can complete my collection.

Got my copy of the new pressing of the first release, the splatter is better than I could have even imagined https://ibb.co/FwswCw4

I can see this working well if you're US based, but unfortunately in Canada (and lots of other countries) shipping rates can vary wildly and change constantly. A problem with setting a flat rate high enough to cover that variance is that puts you lower down in the list when sellers sort by Price: Lowest compared to others who have a properly set rate. The problem is that it's only a half-step. Every other place on the internet you enter your address and it figures out the shipping cost. Discogs isn't doing this, instead making the sellers figure out the rates themselves. It seems like the majority of people are just going with the flat rate option, which actually hurts the buyers since most will be paying more for shipping now. If they had ACTUALLY implemented a solution instead of just forcing sellers to figure it out on their own this would be great. Unfortunately it's just a step further AWAY from being able to compete with every other marketplace.

Four /100 variants have went up and since sold out while you locked this thread. My entire collection is ruined.

Yeah it was clear with splatter.

Third pressing. Limited to 1,200. https://merchnow.com/products/v2/317945/a-different-shade-of-blue-baby-blue-and-cyan-blue-asidebside

All jokes aside, I really hope so. I hung onto the single LP version from years back but there’s definitely room for improvement on that press. A 2xLP reissue would be tremendous.

Are these Zia preorders an indication of an official SSTB reissue?

Im pretty much just checking this thread for that.

All I said was Canadians were a race, and the superior one. You didn't miss much. But these ads are mutating and fucking up the board more than ever, at least on mobile. Hope its temporary.

The person you're talking to has "all cops are bastards" as their username. They do not want any sort of meaningful discourse, they just want to yell their opinion as loudly as possible.

Yup. "Different strokes for different folks" and all that, but I'm of a similar mindset. I've even convinced normie verse-chorus-verse friends who listen to pop, indie, or hardcore - exclusively - to attend a GY!BE show with me, and they always leave stunned and smiling after the show concludes. Post-rock is an acquired taste but between the visuals and dynamics of their live show, I feel like it's not hard to get something out of their performances, regardless. Call it pretentious, but seeing them live has always kind of struck me as an "art experience"... just as much (if not more) than a traditional band playing a set. Not arguing that music by itself isn't art. But hopefully you get what I mean. Anyways. Being that this isn't a GY!BE thread – I will say the new Sumac is pretty monstrous. I see what NoWorthyIcons meant about the record taking its time to start up, a bit. On first listen it feels like the outright riffy or crunchy guitar sections and breakdowns are maybe a little more sparse, but they're absolutely there, and it's a Sumac record through and through. I feel like the more ambient and experimental passages are a little tighter, too – not that I disliked them on Love In Shadow, but I can think of several moments of that record that feel very free-form. No doubt a product of those Haino collaborations recorded around the same timeframe. Overall pretty pleased with it on the first go-around. It's sitting exactly where every other Sumac record has sat on first listen, so far. Which is really impressive when you consider that it's the third time they've managed to stay consistent with a followup, giving me what I wanted or needed to hear, but also subverting expectations enough to stay fresh and "challenging" in a fun manner. Makes for tremendous replay value and I can't wait to sink my teeth into additional play-throughs.

Whining about vinyl-only songs not being vinyl-only songs anymore is annoying af and worthy of being called out on. Shelby can stay. You're welcome to follow your own advice; lead by example?

This. The lack of the pregap hidden track (One Last Regret) is a bummer as well. But at least there’s a few DTMB demo tracks to make up for it.

I feel like you've cried about it being released digitally more than anyone cried about getting the songs to begin with.

That’s 100% clear with white blob and green splatter. They are high if they think that’s a pinwheel variant lol

I have a couple, they're actually pretty well done. The only complaint I have, as with any bootlegs, are the jackets for the double LP's never being big enough haha. Never understood why boots have awesome (and typically heavy) variants but the worst jackets ever which is the easiest part

Reading this board, I think it’s a lot of people’s top target ( mine too). I think it’s going to be tough to get.

Don't make your way into the Nothing thread. 😂

Predictably, that is also my top target

It seems like the picture disc is the "standard" NA variant of this. It's the cheapest, it's featured in the Rot video, it's the only one being sold by both US and Canadian retailers as far as I can tell. I'm guessing there's a fair amount of these.

Yeah I'm not following this reasoning

I can live with $40 for a double LP but $50 is really pushing it. I like that web store pinkish one but I don’t know if I have it in me. You know this is going to be widely available and discounted at some point.
