Why don't bands do what poster companies do? Have a specific time when you can reserve a copy then make that exact amount of the people who requested one so everyone can get one? There are always people who are always going to resell just like everything else in the world, can't really fight against it.. It's probably not feasible to make 1000s of boxsets but making an even more limited boxset seems backwards to me.. What am I even talking about, madness prevails always!

Surprised it actually didn't sell out before lunch time. Unlike other groups of fans I've interacted with or observed (too creepy?), the hardcore MM fans are pretty hardcore...and that's coming from a huge fan. I didn't buy bc that's definitely too expensive for me..it's also coming out in the last month of the year when my record budget is already blown. Wish I could buy it and support these dudes and there families. Having met them, I'm always happy to buy their tunes, go to a show or two and chat with them. That's why, although pricey, I can't imagine them making a cash grab. I think some fans seeing it as a really personal album or it's the only album they really like. Bands sell VIP tickets to shows, or have special VIP merch...in this case, it just happened to be their most popular album AND it's treated as a "VIP item". I'm kinda salty about the price but when I think about how it "could" have happened, maybe it's a classic "Cartel Chroma Situation" but in reverse? Maybe they could have added some random recordings to essentially add value without having to create some physical? Maybe WB was so disinterested in Mutemath's attempt to press the record that did in fact milk it and charge more for what they saw was WB losing money? There could have been a "point of no return" where MM (who I believe is independent) spent so much of their own money trying to make everything work, they had to release it this way? Wish we could have some more info about the whole ordeal but these are my hot takes. Bummed that it could really be the final press though but as I finish a post that's too long, I just need to move on and put on a record and smile.

Woah, just looked it up...holy cow!

Of all the "injustices", this bugs me the most. I know it's their prerogative to frame a record on a wall but that essentially cuts down the number down of records in the market (and for people who actually listen to music on vinyl)

I do love mutemath. Vitals was a high point for 2015 and the tour they put on was phenomenal...but like I said, oof..

I'm part of the Mutemath group on Facebook and their manager commented and gave us the details.

Just the record will be $75 oof... and is the Teleprompt version

Very cool! Love that 7". Colors and the songs are on point. Their B-sides are top notch Sorry about the splits for everyone who has them, seriously sucks.

In for the Mutemath LP

I really am so glad to have these...but...minorly disappointed in the covers and lack of color. That's all I'll say but I'm so excited to have these albums, cleaning and spinning right away!

Wow, great video and song. Love the build and the ending, sounds massive.

Still says "processing" on my order *No it doesn't, shipped baby! Oh boy!

Makes sense when you see the pictures of the record next to the song they're related to..kind of..

Looks like two songs? https://onkyomusic.com/DE/releases/5823655#t58262340

For anyone curious in artwork for the demo tapes, I've been using this:

Three variants..... • "Anything" (LP1: Rainbow Starburst | LP2: Purple/Yellow/White Starburst) (1000) • "Suspension" (Yellow/Pink/Green Starburst) (1000) • "Breakdown" (LP1: Purple Marble | LP2: Yellow Marble) (500)

SOLD OUT! We did it dudes. Also, supposed to be shipping this week.

These demo tapes are going to get played. out. They are seriously so great

Asked and they said, "nope, we used the original masters"

Pretty cool! Original post updated

Per Spartan, " This pressing will not be as limited as those! 2500 copies. 3 different variants. Hold onto your butts "

According to Modern Vinyl (no source I can find), " The pressing will be limited to 2,500 copies and will go up for pre-order Oct. 19 at 12 p.m. PST"
