Where can I get a cheap one-off shirt printed? Haven't been into any of the ones posted, but I want this:

Any news? I'm tired of checking this thread

the conversation is that charging $35 for a repress of a record is gross.

haha guys user "highfives" LOVES paying $35 for a repressed record. His downvote told me so

Your comment added nothing to the conversation. 

I'm hoping for a sound more like the Diamond Eyes "raw" sound as opposed to the more "produced" sound on KNY.
No matter what though, it'll slay.

You're wasting your time, people on this board love to shit on bands who have the nerve to try and make money. This happens whenever an album is crowdfunded, even though the basic idea is to put money directly into the pockets of creators and artists, because it is an imperfect system they come out of the woodwork to shit all over it. Because even though this board is practically the functional definition of consumerism, for some reason people here look at the idea of the very people who make the things they love living comfortably and it brings bile to the tips of their throats. I call it being, "aggressively retarded."

Both, but more the price than anything.

i'm surprised to see that nobody favors alaska. i'll never forget how face melting that album was when it first came out. i had heard silent circus and thought it was crazy but it was like night and day with alaska. i like how it's not as grand an affair as their later stuff, how excellent Laser Speed is as a closing track, and how well every song stands on its own. 
 
and even though everyone rightfully cites Selkies for an example of guitar heroics, the entire album is just packed to the brim with weird and original guitar riffs, plus perfect tone/production that they've never really had quite as good since. out of all the tech death bands who play proggy btbam esque riffs and even the rest of btbams catalogue songs like Roboturner, All bodies, and ofc the ridiculous title track are still basically unmatched in my eyes. plus the breakdowns- especially the one that closes the insanity of Autodidact- are just wild.
 
Colors I feel was their last 10/10 masterpiece but their later stuff rules too. if any other band then BTBAM had released parallax they would've instantly been considered one of the best bands in metal. The great misdirect is also really good, although i'd probably say it's their worst album. i like to think of it as their "jammy" album, it's kind of hard to explain why i feel that way but it really comes out in Swim to the Moon i think. it's just a fun album that sounds like it came together quickly and organically, the solos have a more improvised feel.... Fossil Genera and desert of song don't hold up well as tracks on their own though, IMO.

I feel like Colors is their best record, although The Silent Circus is my favorite. I find The Great Misdirect and everything since borderline unlistenable.
 
Every album from their self titled to Colors was a massive progression in their songwriting, and raw abilities, but I feel like they're just rehashing the same general ideas now, although, really, where else could they go after Colors?
 
I'd love to see them go back to something like The Silent Circus/Alaska, where they favor individual songs over a giant, over-arching album-long epic.

Uhh guys Mumford and Sons are terrible, why would you not want them to change it up? They started this whole faux-authentic earnest-core mason jar folk shit trend, it's up to them to right their wrongs and try to have a net-positive impact on the world.

Man the world was so much better when these guys weren't active.

There's a thread for cheap vinyl on Amazon. It's even on the first page right now.

Your right, free shipping is free, I don't usually shop hot topic much, these are for my daughter. I have been in retail my entire life and there just seems to be some systemic issues with the company as an outsider taking a look. 9 days past the order to ship is excessive even for free shipping. I had a horrible customer service experience when my order was canceled. I was told they were completely sold out, then the night of release they were back on the site and the next day too. At the end of the day I am happy to get them for her.

My shipped to store order, just shipped this morning. I thought it was lost in oblivion. Hate to complain, but 9 days to ship? FIFO , first orders in,= first orders out.

FSIF free shipping is free.

I forgot to mention I'm also a pathological liar

FYI, Satan Worshipping Doom repress is online now. And the split w/ Conan.

While normally I would agree, I don't think this is the case in this situation, I personally have signed up UPS MyChoice and when I get an email alert saying a package is arriving on a certain day, it comes on that day. In this case though, the UPS will hand off to the USPS which could take another day. 
This same type of thing happened with my Guardians of the Galaxy 2LP & Poster pre-order from MyPlayDirect, I got the UPS MyChoice email and I received the package on time.
