I definitely need to add this to my collection since I've all the other book editions and I love this album. The price is definitely going to hurt my budget, but I honestly don't think it's that much of an unreasonable price considering they re-recorded the whole album, even with guest features for just this one release (At least what we know of).

Amazon has the fireworks variant up if any prime members want that free shipping...

 

Stranger Things 3 Vinyl (2x LP Fireworks Splatter)

 

Cheers! Loved this season. ST didn't disappoint. That Fireworks variant looks good so I'm glad amazon has it as well.

Damn the new track is sick. Can't wait to hear the full album. Definitely looking forward to experience it live at Roadburn as well.

Sound Pollution is 5 minutes away.

True. Now that I look at the pictures of the stores, then I can see that Sound Pollution was actually the one I had in mind. Great store, both are worth a visit

Video for "I Can Tell You About the Pain"

http://www.npr.org/event/music/539049982/converge-tells-you-about-terror-in-video-for-i-can-tell-you-about-pain

I don't think the album PO will be up today, but I'm definitely stoked about some new Converge music. It's already been five years since AWLWLB, so I am definitely excited.

Edit: Oh, 7" PO up...1000 Converge exclusive. I guess that's the tour variant.

Hallo. A dane here. I don't live in Copenhagen, but I've been there a lot of times. As mentioned above then Route 66 is definitely worth a visit. You should definitely also visit Christiania when you're here. There is also dinner place which called spiseloppen as far I recall, they should have some vegan food for sure. Copenhagen Street Food is definitely also worth a visit. They have their own website, where you can read more about it If you're interesting in going for a concert while here then Vega is a nice place to visit. If you want to do some tourist stuff in CPH then I would recommend to go to Nyhavn. Lovely place where you easily can get something to drink and eat. There should also be some canal tours nearby nyhavn. It's a good way to see Copenhagen and the canal tours are not that expensive, you can check that out here http://www.havnerundfart.dk/canaltours/index.php?page=forside.php 

I've been in Stockholm a few times as well, but I don't know that much about Stockholm compared to CPH. Anyways, in Stockholm be sure to visit Gamla Stan. There is a record store in Gamla Stan called Plugged Records which is worth a visit, and there is definitely a few good places to eat and drink there as well. 

Also general advice. None of these countries use euro as currency. For the scandinavian countries, if you're out late at night there might not be any busses or trains going to your hotel, be sure to check the schedules. In denmark we got an app and webpage called rejseplanen. It's so easy to use and very handy if you want to use public transportation.

Definitely.

 

There are a few people in this thread that aren't necessarily hyped, but are still optimistic that Linkin Park will be worth checking out 12+ years after they had their moment in the spotlight.  That's fine.  The part I'm curious about - without trying to sound too condescending here - is... why?  Hybrid Theory was basically the coolest new thing in junior high, for me.  Of course.  And I spent a good bit of time with Meteora when it was released, I'll admit it.  But that shit is behind me, personally, and to me it feels like good riddance.  I've also never worn denim shorts or collected Magic: The Gathering cards since then.  There's just so much good music out there that I don't see why you'd hope a band will rehash their glory days for your nostalgia when they're clearly more interested in writing radio butt-rock for Transformer soundtracks.  I'm not preaching what anyone should or shouldn't listen to, but I am saying that some things are definitely better left in the past.

 

 

 

I think you're getting people wrong in this thread. I don't see anyone in this thread even hinting they want a new HT/Meteora record, or that Nu-metal sound. Well, I certainly don't. That music is in the past for me and doesn't really resonate with me anymore. But Linkin Park has always managed to make some decent pop-rock songs that I enjoyed to sing along to. Songs like Shadow of the Day, Waiting for the End, Powerless, Final Masquerade etc...I think they're good at making these pop-rock songs, where you can still hear it's Linkin Park. I agree on there is a ton of music out there which is far better, no doubt about it, but stuff like Converge or Deafheaven ain't exactly the music you can walk around and sing along to in your apartment, or well, I can't

Anyways, what is disappointing with this song, in particular, is that you can't really hear it's Linkin Park anymore. I know they can do better than this at least, it seems like not much effort went into it.

I'm just befuddled that anyone in this thread was expecting anything other than pure trash from Linkin Park in 2017.  Like it's blowing my mind right now.

 

If that really blows your mind then you should have a look at the comment section on Facebook and Youtube, oh man that is amusing. There is still some people who compare their nowadays music to Hybrid Theory and Meteora, some people still expect that one day they will go back to Nu-metal sound. That blows my mind. 

Anyways, this track must be really boring to play live. Half of the members will have to leave the stage or just sit and stare. It actually sounds like a song that should have been on a Kiiara album and not the other way around. 
 

I ordered the splatter version as well from Uncle M. Shame that poison city records doesn't ship to Denmark. If they had then I would have grabbed the tri-color variant instead. Anyways, really looking forward to hearing this record. Everything they have done so far has been solid. 

I've liked LP since HT.  I'm one of those who actually really liked A Thousand Suns, but I do think things have been going downhill since that. The song-writing has become more and more sloppy, and this new song is, in my opinion, one of the worst songs they have ever made. A generic pop song that sounds like everything else on the radio. I'm definitely not gonna pre-order this record. I will check out when it's released, but that is about it. Thanks, but no thanks Linkin Pop.

Grabbed the /150 as well. Glad I had put some money aside for this release  The new song is quite beautiful, same goes for the music video. Definitely looking forward to hearing the whole album.

...um, ok. Let's play a gig. Hype it, record it, and then let's press it on vinyl and release it with 5 different covers so every variant looks like a different album.  This way our most faithful fans will be so confused about which variant to buy and most likely end up buying all variants and pay us 100$ for one record(ing). And the best part is that we will sell out even faster! What you guys think? Yeah, great idea! Service the account, George Carlin style.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Blood Moon project gets a similar treatment.

Very mixed feelings here from a long time fan. I think I'm gonna quit supporting Converge...

"Thanks."

 

Really, a long time fan quit supporting because of this? Ridiculous. All the dudes in Converge are hard-working people who are committed to music. They deserve every penny they get. 

Blood Moon could get the same treatment and I would honestly be glad if it did! First of all, it's cool that they played these shows at all. Special concerts like these should be recorded and released. It's a shame if they didn't. Most live releases are quite boring to be fair, so I'm glad they did something special like this. 

I just don't agree with your logic. If they were really looking to make some money then there would have been 5 different variants with only one artwork piece for the record. There would still be lots of collectors buying all the variants. So this is a special service for the fans imo and a cool project for both the band and artists to be a part of. Also, they will only repress the Ashley Couture edition (If the demand is there). None of the other variants will be repressed and they're limited to 500 each. So even if there weren't any variant collectors among Converge fans those would still easily have sold out. Oh, and hey not to mention that it's more expensive to have so many artists involved rather than just one artist making the artwork for the record. 

I've seen people bitching about lots of things, but this is just silly.

Really glad they released this. This is one of the best shows I've been at, so I'm glad that I in someway can relive that moment. The different artworks are super dope. I couldn't decide between Hooper and Couture, so I went with both. 

(Also, I'm sorry if I'm gonna ruin the enjoyment of homewrecker for anyone. I hope Kurt mixed it well haha )

I haven't received my vinyl yet, but I have already listened to the digital release of the record...and oh my, what a record. Definitely their best release, such a breath-taking album. My favorite release from this year so far.

seems like impericon has more blue vinyl lps again.. not sure how since it was 200 worldwide and they sold out

 

Cheers for the info! I manage to grab one now. I guess someone cancelled their order, or maybe they'll receive more variants than expected. Who knows. The approx 200 copies worldwide could still be the case. Impericon is the only place that's selling them right?

I would like a copy if anyone is going and could grab me one. Would be appreciated 

 

I would really like this too. I would be so appreciative if one of you people overseas could help out! I would pay you a bit extra for your trouble. 

Regarding the new record. I wasn't too impress the first time I heard it, but it's a steady grower and it's definitely another great release by them. Makes me a bit more sad about I missed out on the Grey Marble/Smoke variant, but oh well, I'm really happy about they're back from their hiatus.

wtf, waking up to this and sold out

 

hate it when they dont think about the other side of the world

This! I just woke up and saw the record was up for PO and already sold out. Such a bummer! But seriously, only 1000 copies? That's a joke. 

Oh well. Congrats to all those who manage to grab a copy.

The National cover is awesome and I always appreciate some new stuff from Touché Amoré, but with that being said then I'm gonna skip this release because it being a flexi, and well, krm is handling it. I guess I will have to settle with a digital version of the songs for now.

I was really in doubt about ordering this with that price tag, but I did cave in. I ordered it from DW despite it being a lot more expensive than ordering it from KRM eu. I think the vinyl variant from DW goes better with the artwork and I've just had a horrible experience with KRM eu customer service, so I don't feel like buying anything from them again. So expensive, but looking foward to have this release in my hands.

Well $50 was my very optimistic guess, since DW usually have quite low prices. It's most likely gonna cost way more I fear. Also, being from mainland europe then I'm even more afraid of the shipping price and customs xD I really hope throatruiner would get this for us european people otherwise this will end up being super expensive. Oh well, prices aside then I'm super excited for this release

Anyone have a guess how much the deluxe edition will cost?

Or well maybe around $50. That would be my guess at least.

Really stoked about hearing new music from MM. I hope this won't be the last thing they do. Anyways, really looking foward to hear the whole split, I went for a splatter copy as well.

Just gave it my first listen. This album is way more amazing than I expected.

I'm sure they should have spent more money on transfers. 

Arsenal should have for sure, seems like all of us Arsenal fans are mad about that. We have no real back up for Coq if he gets injured. Also the striker position....Also the CB position. If we get two injuries in that position (Which we seem to do every season) it means Chambers or Monreal will have to play CB, dear oh dear. Well, the other top teams in England did spend a lot of money and is still doing poorly in Europe xD Oh dear, I fear that man united will slaughter Arsenal this weekend. Arsenal definitely have to step up their game to have a chance.
