    had a mini heart attack seeing my PTH band variant arrive with two A/B label stickers. turns out all 4 sides are there music-wise though :D anyone else have this "issue?"

    I got the Solid State webstore version instead of from the band (moon phase brown/white with green splatter in the white) and it's the same with the labels. The most embarrassing part is how it's not a gatefold jacket. They charge more money than anyone else, have so much pride in how hard they work on it, and this is the result. AOTWK sounds pretty subpar, I'd go as far as saying bad for vinyl. PTH sounds good at least. I'm glad I don't have interest in most of these releases from UO and Solid State.

    Not trying to downplay your experience, but I've ordered a bunch of records from Revolver's shop (which I think is essentially the same as BrooklynVegan) the past 2ish years, and I've never had an issue.

    I've also never had any problems with any of these related sites. They're a little slow to ship, but that's it.

    It's more of a recent issue. Also The Hard Times broke off from Project M and went independent again so I think there's internal problems that aren't public.

    It's probably my least favorite. I saw them on the LIYGW headline tour and they seemed so tired and burned out. The 2 new members were full of energy, the originals looked dead. I left early which is coming from someone who has gone to see them for every album since Youth. This album feels pretty lifeless and cookie cutter to me. No standout songs or moments, just going through the motions. I hope they know it's okay to take a break.

    For $26 this record is proof other bands and labels are ripping us off. It's a gatefold, partially glossy for certain parts of the art, came with a massive heavyweight book, a poster, and the variant I bought looks so good. The sound is very clear with no pops or skips. Meanwhile we're getting bare bones for $25-35 from others.

     

    I haven't listened to the digital and I can tell this is going to take a few listens for me to get a solid opinion. I have to ask, does it sound like it was recorded, mixed and mastered well digitally? Because the music on the vinyl is not impressive. The mix is not dynamic and it's kind of rough, but maybe that's what they're going for.
