Lowered is one of my favorite songs to come out this year. As for the rest of the record I liked some songs, but I didn't like the ones where Greg is singing and sounds like Ozzy. Maybe that's just me but I wasn't a fan of that vocal style.

My Target is closed because someone started a fire that caused $3-4M in damages

No idea how I found this unlisted and early but enjoy! The song is streaming everywhere today.

This is shipping

Revolver dropped theirs from $41 to $40. Now it's a bargain.

I don't like any of the variants 🤷‍♂️Might wait to see if Zia's looks good. A black smoke in clear would have been fitting.

I was looking forward to this album being I liked the singles and I really liked Oliver Appropriate so I was hoping he'd be back on a streak after how bad Hebrews and IDTIS were. Max is a great artist and I won't question his reasons to his approach but this album is one that could have and should have been good and it's not. My main gripes are the vocal effects that seemed overdone and unnecessary, the child blabbering for over a minute on Jawbreaker (that was insufferable but I also hate kids), and the weirdest inserts and transitions with vocals. A lot of it didn't flow and felt careless. Half the time I couldn't tell what he was going for. If these songs were reworked I think it could be a good album but that isn't happening. At least I didn't preorder it. In perspective I can't see people going back to this down the road.

Double posting for anyone only following this thread: Cowboys Don't Cry by Oliver Tree releases on vinyl next Friday. Baby blue is limited to 5,000.

A waste of our time and money

Dirt Femme looks great but I'm over these long preorders. I can wait. MUNA is fantastic.

I got an email that Walmart is shipping between 8/16-8/26.

^^^ I was in disbelief when I heard The Greatest Fear today. Maybe the worst song I've heard this year.

Records were made to be opened and listened to. Records can be opened and mint especially considering shrink wrap can rot.

Soon enough we'll be those people that say "things were better back in my day!" Haha. But for fun, if you haven't already, run an inflation calculator on what you paid then and see how it matches the market today. I think it's interesting. And depressing! All things aside it's really sick that 18V is doing this and I look forward streaming it soon.

I got an email that Chapter .5 should be shipping July 22nd. Which means AHIG is delayed and .5 is early. It doesn't make sense to me but time will tell. These waits are much shorter than the average pre-order.

One could argue you're getting 2 albums at $20 each but I understand where you're coming from. I've had to say no to more releases lately than ever before. As someone collecting since 2010 it's a bit depressing lol. I ran an inflation calculator with prices I paid back then versus now and it's not just inflation's fault that's for sure.

They couldn't just...put the gold up when they announced it an hour prior? 🤦‍♂️

https://goodfightmusic.com/ July 1-July 5 25% off site wide except pre-orders and END. Free domestic shipping over $75 (exclusions apply).

https://foxyshazam.bigcartel.com/product/flamingo-trigger-remastered-lp-presale Black (quantity unknown) (Sold out) Gold /180 (Sold out) Teal colored vinyl /200 Estimated ship date: March 2023 Pricing is ridiculous and you have to buy a $70 bundle to get a colored copy. It's streaming now as well.

This got weird and unprovoked.

Some of you might think this will be petty so I'll start with that. Qrates. I'll keep the artist's name out of it since none of this is their fault. I crowdfunded 2 records that both hit the goal of 200 pressed. First of all, Qrates refuses to combine shipping. Both are completed and in-hand and have been for about a month. The artist got their copies a month before anyone who crowdfunded it. They did not care about shipping to customers whatsoever. It took them a month of having it in hand to finally ship one of the two to me. No idea when the other will ship. Since both are done and in hand, I emailed again asking #1 what's up with the month long delay even though the artist got their copies and #2 can they please combine shipping. They charged $10 priority shipping for both. A huge waste of money for the customer imo. Their response: we're dispatching soon and no they can't combine shipping (they can but they don't want to). Here's the part that frustrated me the most: they shipped it media mail. For $10 domestic AND advertising as priority! I checked my receipt and it says "Shipping Method Priority shipping from Michigan/US (With tracking)." I sent another email asking for a refund due to the error in shipping method. Their response was "Sorry for the confusion because as a friendly reminder, we only have two types of shipping option, first is the Standard shipping with no Tracking and the other is called Priority shipping which is with Tracking details, but uses USPS media Mail." That's literally not what I paid for and not what was advertised. And if they're saying it has priority as a timeliness issue to ship sooner, well clearly it's not because they waited a month to ship them after being in hand. I'm curious what you all think if you can please be serious in replies. Am I out of line for wanting a refund for $10 for media mail that was advertised as priority shipping? We're talking $3.82 for media mail and maybe $1-2 for the mailer, tape and label. So if they're pocketing an extra $4 per record, we're talking over $1,000 being pocketed for the copies they're mailing on their own. That's just for 2 records, not to mention all the other artists they work with. Whenever they ship the second record and if it comes as media mail as well I'm thinking I'll file a credit card dispute. Either way, I think it's bad business.
