who needs MORE 'beautiful metaphor driven'? yughk. when i listen to music i wanna hear some unique narrative, detail, reality, opinion, originality, etc. i appreciate music that grows along side me and challenges me as a listener. what if Kozelek was comin' over to your house? you start cookin' him dinner, you bust your ass to make dude some blue crab cakes just cause you wanna make sure he likes the food. then he shows up sulking, and starts gnawing your ear off about girls. you gonna sit there and cry with him at the dinner table? HELL NO! dude, he's an old fuckin' man! i don't wanna hear that shit anymore! i'd kick that fool outta my house! i value his complaints, gripes and even his gossip infinitely more. it makes him truthful, textural and gives him dynamics -- coincidentally i feel the same about his last two records musically. that's something, as a post-19-year-old, i can get behind. 
 
also, all this 'ah, he half-assed it,' and 'he probably wrote it in a week'. are you fucking insane? YOU write something this good in a week, ya flippin' joker! 
 
someone made a good point about Benji being the point of polarization. i think that's right on the money; these last two records challenge the listener wayyy more than any of his past work. he takes way more risks(successfully in my view), his influences are way less obvious and therefore it's way less contrived to my ears. Benji and now Universal are easily my favorites to date. both are completely unique listening experiences. doesn't mean i don't like the old stuff. i just don't think they compare. it's hard think of another artist that's progressed this much at this age; not usually how it works.
 
we're currently living through the dividing line and that is very exciting to me. i love that people don't understand how fuckin' incredible his new records are and i genuinely look forward to someone trashing what i just wrote.

Does every person on this board have ADD?
Jesus fucking Christ you guys.
OP, I can't help you as I have no idea what it's truly worth. If it was mine, I'd hope to get between $500-$1000 for it but obviously that's a big range. I agree with everyone else who said to put it up on eBay and see what it sells for.
It's a shitty thing to do, but you could always let an auction run its case and then cancel the transaction if you just want to know what someone would be willing to pay for it without actually selling it.
An MJ fan board may be a good place to ask too.
Good luck! Keep us updated.

The best part about this thread is that the only person who's able to cut through all the bullshit and post a relevant response is the OP.

I can't even make it halfway through that track. All these overdubbed vocals running unevenly is just a mess

It's funny because you know everyone who doesn't like the new album is going to be showing off their vinyl copies when they come out.

The crazy part is his friend got it in his VNYL package.

You should know that you are probably the first ever poster to so soundly disarm the VC ruff-n-tuff crew of their shit-talkin' with one single post.
 
You could get some serious cash for that. Or, your friend could. Or you could, if you tell him it's not worth shit and then sell it for yourself.

^^^^
Holy shit. This is like a white whale of threads.

This may be better than Benji wow

gawd i luv when people announce their unsubscribing. it's like a retirement press conference that no one cares about. it's been a great run, filthyrich. big hand for filthyrich!

Literally why I no longer support Code Orange Kids and my local scene.

Fuck all you guys who got a copy.

Don't worry, the Hot Topic splatter is coming soon

....independent brick and mortar stores aren't forced to buy any of this stuff....if they think their customers will bite, they'll bring in that product....if they don't think their customers will buy the product they won't bring it in.
Additionally, saying that RSD is squeezing out independent artists/distributors might not be accurate....if the major label releases are what have been selling then they're going to continue working with majors, I'm certain they get a decent amount of revenue from majors as well. So where RSD began as a way to get customers back into independent Brick and Morter stores they succeeded...and now that customer base has changed. I think it's fare to say that despite how large "The Bubble"/"The Hobby" has grown this is still a niche market over all....and Majors have been watching any of their sales decline over the past few decades, they saw a trend and eventually got on board with it....they're smart about their releases, they repress tried an true...what sucks is they have the money and money talks. So from RSD stand point, this is how RSD continues on and continues to grow, sadly it's in an ugly way which bloats the entire vinyl market with unnessisary represses of easy to obtain records and from our standpoint (or maybe just my standpoint?) we don't want 50 fucking colors of a Fleetwood Mac record nor 50,000 new copies of Aerosmith and The Boss. Essentially independent labels and distributors are being squeezed out because they don't have money. This isn't a new trend nor is it the first time in the history of recorded music this has happened.
For the record, I'm not jazzed on what RSD has becoming nor the direction it's heading...every year there are fewer and fewer releases I'm excited about, but as mentioned by someone previously in this thread, my reaction is pretty fcking simple....if I don't want it or if I think it's too expensive I simply don't buy it...
As with all things Major Label, it's taken them 15 + years to work on adjusting things to combat piracy effectively.....they were a bit sluggish to jump on board with this small vinyl resurgence and truthfully, the only reason you see tried and true artist/catalogs getting repressed is because they still think this vinyl trend will come to a close soon and just like independent labels, they can't afford to sit on product, so they're attempting to be cautious as well.
Long and the short, can't we all just get along? Can the people queuing up for the next Taylor Swift record stand beside somebody looking for the most obscure band you've never heard of? Can we not let Majors be the Majors and let the Independents still be the a place for real art to emerge? Idependent brick and Morter stores aren't going to start ONLY carrying major label releases any time soon, that much I can guarantee you.
