I'm sorry for what I've done.

Doesn't that make you the one doing all the "virtue signaling" here?  You don't care... yet here you are, compelled to lecture people you disagree with.

Find better uses for your time, friend.  Also, prancing around the internet complaining about "virtue signaling" is a major dogwhistle.  Just so you know.

What a shit take. This could also be considered "virtue signaling", friend. 

I'm not lecturing, or compelled to do anything and I haven't disagreed with anyone. 

Prancing around the internet? you have any other examples of this or just thought it made you sound good? give me a break. 

Find a better use for my time? You are aware this is a sub for collecting vinyl records right? Every post here could be considered a waste of time.

Would you rather talk about what I'm doing with my life? Would that make for better convo on a vinyl site? What a joke.

I own a few Burzum albums, so I guess it’s pretty hypocritical for me to be a dick about people listening to this band. 

This is the thing for me.  

People still listen to MJ, Bowie, Aerosmith, and they all get radio play despite doing some pretty disgusting stuff. 

People just gotta empathize with people more and not think cause you listen to band you support pedophilia or something.

I dunno, the main person in the band being a sex offender is a pretty reasonable reason to stop listening and supporting them. 

It 100% is.

I stopped listening because I feel gross when I hear the songs. I don't begrudge anyone for whom that isn't true if they want to keep listening, though I may question their judgment a bit. That's it.

Thats fair. I still listen occasionally, but I'm not supporting the shit he did.

I like to think I'm the same way but when a chorus starts "what difference does this difference in age make" and I'm singing along with a known pedophile it feels kinda weird.

This is for sure a fair point for sure. Hearing something in the songs that brings the person into it, makes it much less enjoyable. 

I'm also not going to stop listening to a band I liked in some attempt to pat myself on the back and seem woke online. People who feel the need to tell strangers on the internet that they stopped listening to a band cause "bad man" are just virtue signaling.

I dont give a shit about the members of this band, or any band. 

I only have the picture disk of this, so will likely be grabbing it. 

Wish I had got that 20th anniversary opposite of December a few years back. 

I hate spontaneous pre orders. Would have really liked this. 

I swear they release this record strictly around the times I cant afford it.

I actually really think this album is a cool time capsule, and totally rips.
But also I am flabbergasted every time it gets another and another and another repress. 
Continually surprised at the demand for these.

I agree. 

I love this album, but I didn't know so many people cared about it. I think its their best album... Although I only like their first 3.

I realize it was a hassle but some of these comments make me think you guys haven't had any real struggle in life. 

yes, because a Norma Jean vinyl pre order forum page is where we all go to talk about our real struggles. 

Wonder what the other 11 hidden items are...

I got through with a different browser (brave) fyi. prob just a coincidence but could give it a try.

Somehow got through somehow.

But can we talk about how these are 40$

Nothing working for me...

The solid state store (say that 3 times fast) is through merchnow.

Oh is it, guess it doesnt matter then. 

Shit, merchnow would be a cheaper option... but i dont wanna chance it.

Yeah it's brutal. I usually try to tack something else on and hope shipping doesn't go up much.

 

So much for saving for my wedding eh?

Yup I tried the same thing. I'm glad all 3 of these lps from the festival didn't drop at the same time. The shipping would've been more than the records. 

 

I remember when I ordered Showbread last year it was about $90 CDN

You guys near london, Ontario lol?

25$ is steep for 5 songs. Hoping its a large pressing so I can get it cheaper down the line  

Isn't bless the martyr an analog recording off the floor? Would LOVE to see this album get an true analog pressing. But also just hoping I can own this one day.

Buy @wiscodeman ‘s clear MOV copy. It has the worst packaging of any pressing, but the best sound of any pressing. I have a black MOV as my playing copy and it’s worth its weight in gold. 

This is very true. 

Does anyone know if there is a difference in the pressings? I have the original press and the Mondo press, but Ive heard that the RSD press sounds excellent, can anyone verify any of this? Id like to get the best sounding press available. 

I wish the bled would just make a come back album. Heat Fetish is highly underrated imo. Its no PTF or FITF, but I do enjoy it more then silent treatment. I have all their releases, so don't really need the repress, unless they do something fancy.

I mean it's more of a history piece. It affected an entire year of protests basically. I wanted one of those Bernie Sanders flexi-discs with Thurston Moore, but flippers got their hands on those too lol.

Chappelle is pretty out of touch imo. He is a fantastic comedian but to make speeches like this while also supporting people like Kamala Harris is not it for me.

But aside from peoples thoughts on the content, who cares if people want it. I literally have a 7 inch for fucking bug snacks lol.
