Weird, because I'm watching him unbox the VERY limited vinyl. 

I'm willing to bet the list prices will be more than enough to temper my excitement for it. 

Really taking their love of The Mats way too far. 

Hey Toby while you're here answering questions, what color is the Menzingers RSD and how many were pressed? I have an eBay listing ready for a sealed copy but can't find the info. Thanks.

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. 

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? 

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.

They're going to mail out a physical copy of the mp3 in 10 years. 

These songs are fun as hell, as usual.

I dig supporting NYC punk, but are all this band's songs just Misfits songs with different lyrics?

Clearly nobody here is punk and no one gets it.
 
Nitro has gone retro and is giving fans that treasured experience of ordering merch from those insert catalogs that came with their CDs in the 90s. You send your money and then who the hell knows after that?? Any true punk is glad to have this system back in place.

He didn't say he was confused. He said he was nutty. Which I think is actually worse than upset.
 
"They're selling more recooooords! I am insaaaaaane!"

This album is still awesome and both the splatter and the pic disc arrived in perfect shape.
That said, I'm really bummed to hear about those who ended up with shitty copies through the mail and the lack of response from Infinite Merch to rectify the problems. For a band that very clearly cares about its fan base, it's bewildering that they stick with a merch company that screws the fans over every chance it gets. I'm curious where the miscommunication lies.

Yeah definitely, and Rumours-era Fleetwood Mac for sure. I'm digging this album so much. Best thing he's put out since 29.

Which is exactly what happened with the fan club, right? "We know you're still waiting on the product we didn't deliver, but for double the price, you can sign up next year for the same quality service."
 
Deleted a longer rant because I didn't even order this so why bother. But it's a shame there isn't more of a value placed on the fans of this band. Not sure where that is coming from, but it's pretty obvious there's an issue here that needs to be sorted quickly. Can't think of many other major (or smaller) releases that consistently get so weird and messed up.
 
Brand New POs aside, of course.

Here's the video of the Vintage Vinyl show. Audio's kind of buried, but you get the idea. I like the record a lot and thought the songs came across really well live for the most part. I'm sure after a few more nights playing them out, they'll sound really awesome. A couple nice surprises in the set too. Definitely glad I made it to this one, especially since I can't bring myself to sit through seeing them at the other Jersey date on the tour. Hate that venue.
