Man, I listened to Stage Four for the first time in a good long while cause it’s an exhausting listen, and I just don’t see how they’re gonna ever top it. I mean I am excited for Lament but SF is just bottled lightning. few albums make me feel like this. I miss my Mimi. Fuck cancer.

Thanks bud. Definitely overdue for both of those. Rest in paradise, Erik.

That looks awesome!

It is on sale again.

Actually... Would much rather trade than pay the $50. If there are two people bummed enough of these, hit me up too.

Yep! I'm in Kitchener Ontario and I just got both today!

That’s that shit I do like! Too bad I went with every other variant. I did almost come close to greatness and got #665 of the clear mono. And yes, mine was thrashed too.

Hell yeah, I’d already picked up Pilot Talk for pretty cheap, but got The Danger Zone and shipped too. Definitely didn’t want to drive all the way to Long Beach to save $25-$30.

Asked Matt and he confirmed it's a new variant. It's being called Clear with "Heavy Halloween" orange and silver splatter. 3rd press, limited to 1000.

you’re forgetting what hobby you’re in

My 13 copy shipped today. So excited.

Just wanted to let the world, here, in general, know that this is back in print for a while and can be bought here: https://squareofopposition.limitedrun.com/products/570596-mischief-brew-bacchanal-n-philadelphia-lp Some talk about SFUTS coming up next, maybe...

It did, apparently. https://www.amazon.com/Tickets-Downfall-Machine-Gun-Kelly/dp/B08FP6F6R2/ref=tmm_vnl_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

Yea, the album is perfect but I never listen because it’s just too heavy. Reminds me of losing my dad. “...Is Survived By” was also integral in my coping with his loss, so this band will always just feel like a best friend that’s always been there for me. Can’t wait for Lament.

MGK's Tickets to My Downfall.

Long are the days where variants were random, unless you bought 2 copies.

Appreciate it. That means whenever mine ships, it'll be here within 2 days. Sweet.

Where did you see that?

10/12 live stream and Record Release Variant.

Thanks for asking, man. I love dissecting this shit. So overall, my issues with the album are all like you said, minor qualms. Its really nothing drastic at all. So, I first want to say that I get your hang up on the Error chorus. And yes, that song in its totality is Goddess-level gorgeous. Literally the entire second half is like a free jazz full band explosive flourish filtered through the style of Deftones at their most spacey/psychedelic but modern. Like, I can't believe how much that didn't register in my first 15 listens to the album. When I finally took the time to realize what a gem of pure musical bliss that passage is, it just floored me and totally floored me that I couldn't recognize it until message board communities hit me over the head with it. I love your assessment of "sugary" as a potentially negative overage in music. I completely identify with that sentiment. And so its interesting that that phrase perfectly encapsulates my hangup with so much of the "mood" of Urantia. It feels fuckin' "sugary" but not just that, it has the gross misfortune of not just being sugary but also recalling some of the cheesy tonality of 80's rock/pop "sugar" like Huey Lewis or Eddie Money and I know that LITERALLY, that is a fucking stretch and I woudln't really expect ANYONE else to understand it and feel that way like I do. Its just something in that melodic structure overall that taints some aspect of the whole song for me but I DO want to ensure you that I actually do really feel myself getting over that hang up and really seeing it differently. Now I completely get your assessment of the sugary aspect to the chorus of Error and I honestly feel that too, it just so happens that its particular flavor of sugar is one that almost always really works for me. Again its something about the melodic and harmonic structure that comes from the combination of all the timbres involved. I think what it also is, is that Urantia feels way more like a Crosses song to me, and I only really liked about 2 or 3 tracks from that project and it was a certain type of "sugary" that just hit me all the wrong ways. For me Palms has its own types of sugar in it but it still feels more like... I don't know.. "big boy sugar" or "wise learned man sugar." The kind of sweetness that doesn't fall into your "guilty pleasure" category. Crosses felt more "guilty" and something about Urantia recalls that feeling for me. But I have to say that as a song structurally and with all the bells and whistles of those odd female voice playback samples it really does create a seriously cool atmosphere in parallel with the meat of the song which I find less favorable. The last thing I want to say about Urantia is that I'm quite certain the lyrics tell the tale of a homicidal stalker describing his exploits in crossing some major boundaries with the subject of their predation. Seems like it ends in a murder/suicide as well. So the lyrical tale holds all of this juicy, psychotic Lynchian noir intrigue which I find very interesting but there are still those hangups about the "melodic sugar" problem which for me feels like a consistent melodicism throughout the entirety of the track with little to no resolution away from the melody structure that doesn't sit well. Thanks for asking. I really feel like it helped me to articulate even for myself what the problem is for me. Oh and with The Spell of Mathematics, I totally understand where you're coming from on the outro but I actually love it. In fact, with that track in particular, knowing how long it was supposed to be I was hoping that those keys were going to lead to one more round of the more aggressive motifs of the song coming back to take us out but when it was just the keys leading to This Link Is Dead, I was a bit disappointed. That said, re-listening to the song repeatedly has had me just appreciating all of the magnificent passages of it that are there and the extent to which they are repeated in the structure and I've totally resolved my need to hear them restate an aggressive passage after the keys but before it ends. Now I just really appreciate the atmosphere the keys add to the album overall. This album is amazing and it took me a while to realize I was in love with it, but it really has taught me to stop anticipating the flow of the structures of each song by simply knowing the track lengths ahead of time and hoping they'll give me more of the part I want before I can see tracks coming to a close and I'm instead just learning to appreciate the payoff parts while they're actually happening and not trying to rewrite/restructure in my head what could have been that I was hoping for. Does that make any sense? Also, The Spell of Mathematics is pure bliss in every single part of the structure. It might be a perfect song for me.

Scarlet - This Was Always Meant To Fall Apart

This is not the salem I was hoping for

500 copies on blue.

“This Link Is Dead”

They are extremely fickle sometimes. I'd had obscure releases or listings go without album art for months – to the point where I get sick of seeing the grey placeholder and just upload the album art – and it'll immediately get removed because it's not an "actual photo" of the record. Fuck off with that.

I'll say Anberlin's Lost Songs. I know it's a b-sides and random acoustic/demos comp, but I think it'd be a cool opportunity to do a 2xLP and update with more of the more recent b-sides. It didn't even get included with the boxsets.

Im pretty much just checking this thread for that.

Some more detailed pressing info:

Just had notification from Deftones' UK store that the Silver + Zine edition has been delayed. ------ "Dear, Thanks for your recent order. Unfortunately, we have been informed by our supplier that stock for your order has been delayed. As soon as your order does leave our warehouse, you will receive a dispatch confirmation.

Very limited? ..... but why ?
