Damn I'm just seeing this. 

This is actually the only protest the hero album I really care for. But this could have been a damn 7" for 15$ lol. 

Don't think I care enough to spend that much. 

Yes it is me, FBI, we stole your vinyl because we hate the used.

The first two were lots fun. City of Evil was listenable, but everything after than has been pretty bad imo. 

Nailed it.

This band hasn't made a good song in almost 20 years.

Virtually everything I’ve read has suggested that the Euro indie blue marble is the way to go.  It also happens to look a lot more interesting than the US equivalent (which reportedly sounds like butt).

Yea that seems to be what I'm hearing too. Prob what I'll go with. 

I'm somewhat in the middle of those 2 opinions. I am enjoying this album quite a bit, but I also enjoy most of their other work better. Haven't picked up the vinyl yet. I'll prob wait until there is a consensus on the best sounding version. 

Prob put it in this order rn. And it likely could compete with Saturdays,  but I think Morgan kibby is sorely missed. I'm not sure the new woman's name, but she has more of a whimsical voice. (Likely part of the reason why she was chosen for junk). Where as Morgan's voice was used in a more haunting way and I think that was beautiful on her run with the band. 

Dead cities

Before the dawn

HUWD

Saturdays

Fantasy

DSVII

M83

DSVI

Junk

80$ CAD.

Everyday I get closer and closer to giving this hobby up lol.

but caved, this is an all time want.

This album honestly just gets better with each passing year. I still think Discovery is my fav of theirs, but man this album is just beautiful. 

Received portal 2 today. Don't know when I'm ever going to sit through 10 sides of portal OST, but super cool packaging for one of the greatest games of all time. 

Excited to own this one. I don't buy mondo stuff much anymore as it's all pretty junk now. But this looks awesome. 

However I'm not excited to see what this will cost shipped to Canada.

Heard back from the label. They sent me a return label to send the splatter back and are going to be sending me the right now so I guess they had a few more sitting around. Solid customer service

Same thing happened to me, I am not sure If I care enough to contact them. Usually I'm not a big splatter fan either but this one turned out ok. 

EDIT

it's also odd that only 35 people have this in their collection and 144 have the splatter on discogs. 

26$ USD shipping to Canada. Comes out to 58 USD or 80CAD. 

Wild. 

52CAD. Joke. 

What a joke. I just wanted to see a repress of what it is to burn.

Sadly, this is accurate. I heard not great things about the wheel of time series as well so I never even started that one.

Wheel of time was alright to me, but I don't know anything about the world or source material. It had that "made for TV vibe" but I want invested in it enough to care. 

But LOTR should not have that vibe and it sadly does. The trailers have looked like they could be perfume commercials or something. 

That show looks like doodoo. 

damn, sold out. 

ETR has to have the worst Records Bought to Records Played ratio of all time. Who wakes up and wants to listen to the Cube. 

Nice, I will be grabbing that when I see a US/CAN link. My least fav bled album I think, but the remaster was pretty cool. 

Was so-so on the first single.  This one however, crushes.

First impression was also not very good. I’ll listen again but I am not in a rush to spin again. 

I think it fits in that Crisis/Old Crows area, unfortunately I am not that into those albums. 

But I didn't have high expectations because of that.

I recall the album notes stating that "no computers were used in the recording of the album," or something like that, which, maybe because i'd been working in a studio almost exclusively with tape at the time, i always felt was a stupid and needlessly pretentious piece of info to provide...

Yea its all perspective. That's not a common practice anymore. Of all my records, maybe 2 are actually a full analog  experience, which is unfortunate. 

Just got mine as well. Haven't been this excited for a record in a while.

This album was recorded analog to the floor correct? Wish we could get a true analog cut, that would be amazing.
