  1. I'm willing to bet the list prices will be more than enough to temper my excitement for it.
  2. I only like the first song on the first EP. Everything after that is contrived and overdone. jk, new album is great. They kept the sound (which is still awesome) and managed to find a different angle at the same time. Still a really exciting band in my opinion.
  3. It's a reference to Tom Waits' "Jersey Girl," also done by Bruce. "Sha la la I'm in love with a Jersey Girl..." Love this one, can't wait for the new record.
  4. Banquet has the other /200 variant up now: http://www.banquetrecords.com/ALBOTF
  5. Curious if the polyvinyl green is the same as the "neon green" in the band's store. Also wish buying stuff from Australia wasn't ridiculous, because that yellow looks awesome.
  6. Wow, that's pretty nuts. I'd be super bummed if this band broke up. Easily the first band I've cared so much about in a long time. Saw them in Brooklyn the first night of this tour and they were fantastic. Seemed to be having a great time, too.
  7. "Is it me, or does the sticker look like it's glued onto the jacket itself?"
  8. While not my favorite (that will always be reserved for SOS), I think Get Hurt was their best work since 59 Sound. Some odd parts for sure, but by far the most impassioned they'd been since 2008, in my opinion.
  9. I only ever bought the red US second pressing of this. Kind of wish I had jumped on the last S1D pressing, that looked pretty cool. Definitely into a black 180g copy. Thanks for the heads up!
  10. I don't get what people are upset about. Everyone wanted this to come out on vinyl. It's coming out on vinyl. Is it because you're not given the option of spending way too much on a t shirt and a poster as well?
  11. His Welcome to NY cover sounds like a Born In The USA outtake. So great.
  12. Considering the likelihood of Blackhole being released any time soon, I don't think there's really any cause for concern that the potential release of a "novelty" record will hold that up.
  13. At the NJ show they said songs would be released August 5. Assuming they're still on track with that, since they put up the mailing list note on social today. Definitely psyched for this one.
  14. Do they really put out an abnormal amount of material? The last 7" came out in January and before that I think was the second LP sometime in late 2013? Unless you're collecting every repress/variant, that's not a ton of stuff.
  15. They played three new songs when I saw them last week, and all of them were just as good if not better than everything they have out right now. This band's gonna blow up with this record.
  16. But they already are, right? I see the black in almost every store I go into, and as mentioned, the red is still available too.
  17. Agreed, if this is just a different color, that's an easy pass.
  18. Sink or Swim (and really, the Senor EP after) will forever be my favorite, but there's no question that 59 Sound is the better album. Such a cool feel to it, and ridiculously good songwriting. It also just feels like summer, so I've been playing it a lot recently.
  19. Or maybe she really loves the album and Brand New, and this was the first time in nearly ten years that it's been right in front of her and available for under $200. I personally wouldn't pay $60 for it, but I sure wouldn't get judgmental and chastise a fan for doing so. I mean it's not uncommon to see people on here brag about blowing $60 or more on FAR less desirable items. And I agree it sucks that the record store fleeced her, but at this point, the "unlimited" nature of this pressing has yet to be proven, especially to retailers. Based on the rate at which it's selling out and getting back-ordered everywhere, I wouldn't be surprised if most stores think it's a limited press. That's not an excuse for them to up-charge their customers, but unfortunately many owners suck, and if this is truly unlimited, then I think TC should probably send that notice around again. Right now, it's sure looking like the opposite is true.
