Not me someone in the PNW also helped me there with a green copy but I'll take the credit since I sold someone my gold copy for cost after that person who got the green copy taxed me AFTER saying he'd grab one 🙄 But yeah I'm trying not to freak out since he says all his lyrics don't mean anything (cop out haha) but they're sooooo in your face here.

UAW is top 3 thoughhhhh So I mentioned it with the last album but here's yet another song about not remembering anything and losing your mind. I hope Dug is ok. Album writeup has me hella hyped to hear the rest though.

Labels almost always undersell preorders and put more up once they're in hand and completely quantifiable.

It's my fucking dream to have all 5 albums in this format

My copy was missing disc 3 and had two copies if disc 4 so make sure you check these when you get them sooner than later.

I agree. Might even be better once it grows on me.

I bet he waits til they're in hand after this S/T disaster haha

Up now yay. I was expecting another 20 min LP but it's 40+!

Yeah I'm literally here just cuz I like Sleep. Making fun of this pressing is weird no matter what the reason is my main point since it's not a record that's even currently in print. There's just a circle jerk of opinions that have no reason behind them and I couldn't let it go 😅

This thread can't handle their weed at all. Buncha really bad takes from clouded judgement and an extreme lack of critical thinking because Jack White bad man.

Yeah that's how I see it. You don't remaster the tapes themselves ever you create a master from the tapes. And if that isn't acceptable you remaster, again, from the tapes not the tapes themself. The Third Man writeup is totally a jab at them I think by specifically saying the original tapes haven't been used before.

I said "everywhere" and I'm not getting bent out of shape I just don't type like I'm fluffing someone up my bad. I think Third Man fans might actually be soft shelled crab Jesus christ.

Lol I was trying not to point that out and pretend it was an actual somewhat intelligent being trying to argue with me but I doubt there's anything he has to say about the subject that isn't Jack White bias.

The writeup is really corny but they have a dedicated paragraph for each "feature" and mention specifics about that bonus stuff too entirely separate from the original tapes claim aimed at the original album part of the writeup. To me that Southern Lord writeup is super fucking weird by comparison. Like, if that's the way the band wanted it on purpose why do they have such a good relationship with Third Man and are now doing it this way? Why did the original need to be louder aka brickwalled? Why did they transfer the entire rights to Third Man which will be evident when the LP comes back to streaming platforms? I wouldn't be surprised if Third Man / Sleep now bought the original tapes with full album rights and Southern Lord couldn't actually get access to them despite licensing the album for vinyl ten years ago. Labels that license something for vinyl rarely have that kind of access and love calling shit remastered when they actually had to start from scratch to master from a digital source. I dunno, just seems like everywhere I see this mentioned it's just man babies complaining about yet another variant of this. If anything y'all should be annoyed at Southern Lord for the copious small run variants and alternate packaging over and over.

Y'all really hate Jack White lol I think his music sucks sure but it sounds like he personally hurt you 😂

Nah if you read the whole third man description that point is specifically referring to the 60 minute album. To me the way Southern Lord worded that is far more tricksy.

Where? This is a bold statement if that's true

I feel like none of you realize this is the first time it's been mastered from the original tapes. Plus it's not in print so... weird take either way.

I don't see why that's annoying. If they don't announce any vinyl I just won't expect any and it's cool when it finally hits. Earl Sweatshirts Feet of Clay for instance. What's my other option if they don't say anything?

Copped mine as soon as it dropped. This is one of a couple artists you don't sit around and wait for a variant from or you'll eventually end up with nothing. International preorder is Apr 15th

Yeah lol a couple pages back I figured you were talking to me saying 8. I've just got a $130 Amazon copy on order.

I had no idea what that was and a Google search brought up neon blue wine for $5. I miss being shitty enough to try stuff like that

I wasn't being serious and figured 8 was absurd enough to not have to spell it out but I guess not. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Florida is weird I agree. I'm sure a lot of people that have moved here for muh freedom the past year are missing them 40s though haha

40oz haven't been legal around here since I was a teenager haha
