Re: Downward Spral reissue. 

I'm finally getting around to getting around to spinning this and gotta say I'm disappointed. There are multiple skips, and looking at the album while playing it's obviously warped like a frisbee on the outside.

Anyone else experience getting a warped copy. I guess I'll see how good Interscope's customer service is.

Customer service was awesome. My first copy had a giant seam split. I sent a picture and they had a new copy in my hands within a week. And they didn't even ask for the old one back.

New record is good, probably my favorite from them since the Big Business guys were in the band. 

Agreed. It's their best in awhile. Really good.

Anyone know how much Malkfunkshun was retailing for?

Between 30 and 33 depending on the store. I got mine for 32 plus shipping. 

Got everything on my list except Death Cab and Collective Soul.

Pearl Jam variant is sick 

Yeah, wish I had gotten the RSD instead of the Ten Club version, but this one is way too expensive to double dip on.

Grabbed Team Sleep pretty easily. Zia got a bunch.

I expect Team Sleep will be easy to find online tomorrow. 

The tough one will be finding Death Cab.

Nah, the most Googled words every day are always porn words.

Year Zero is still coming soon.  I think it's been about 7 years at this point.  Maybe i'll go drop a bunch of money on an OG so the reissue can move forward.

I could sell you mine which would then guarantee a repress never happens because I would only sell it if I knew a repress was coming since I fully expect a repress will sound as good or better just like the With Teeth one (which I still regret selling).

dude, what?!  That's insane to hear.  That's one of THE most screamed-about albums people want on vinyl in all the message board forums everywhere. 

This has to be the overstatement of the year. I'm in tons of boards and lots of Facebook groups and have literally never heard of this band until you dropped them in this thread. I just checked them out. Sounds like pretty good post-rock, so thanks for introducing them.

They will all be back up before the record comes out. She does it every time with the limited covers and editions

You are a prophet.

A friend of mine's arrived yesterday with a hole punched into the box and through the record sleeve. 

Mine was also damaged. I sent them an email and they have a new one on the way already.

Did they just cross out Definitive Edition and crudely write "IVC Exclusive" directly on top of it?

Nope, doesn't say Definitive Edition anywhere on it. Just IVC on the spine with a number stamped on the back. 

My copy of TDS arrived today. That was the fastest preorder to delivery ever.

Shipping notification for NIN already?!?!? I will take it!

 

Same here.

Blink-182

Got it.

By the numbers on Spotify, Blink is about 5x more popular than NIN. So this isn't surprising.

So if there's a 3000 limit on production, does that mean that only 3000 subscribers will be on this subscription service? Is that right? What about the following months? If they meet the production limit, will there be no more subs admitted for the rest of the IVC year? I'm confused how it's gonna work. I'm only interested in the upcoming Helmet. Afraid if i don't subscribe now I won't be able to get my hands on that Betty 

That's how I understand it, but people will drop off each month. So even if they have 3,000 this month, you will likely still get on for Betty if you subscribe within the first couple days of its announcement.

This NIN is available. Apparently they are not as popular as blonk.

What the hell is blonk?

Anyone with the MOV and 30th want to weigh in on which one is better?  I’m tempted to buy this one but don’t need a second copy.  Or do I?

I have an original but not an MOV. It's a toss-up. Bass is better on the new press, but the highs are slightly distorted in some spots. 

Of course you need a second copy.

Oh it'll happen, just not how we want it (2LP's in a fucking gatefold for $30)
Well, it will but not until after they drop it in reverse order of desirability so they can get the suckers to buy each format.
Flash Drive, then Mini Disc, then CD, then Blu-Ray, then Flexi book, then 12 LP box set, and only after that will the 2LP $30 "sane edition" drop.

Sign me up for the 12 LP box set.

I hope that song with the baby crying is pressed on its own side for maximum fidelity.

So there are some people getting shipping notifications. I ordered the tri-color but haven't seen a notification yet. I'm also seeing possible delays? Anyone seen this? Supposed to be shipping 3-22

The Dirt box set shipped about 4 months late, so I will be shocked if these are shipped on time.

Higher prices and more releases that aren't even out of print....yay

Betty has been out of print for a long time, so at least there's that.

Did you even read it? It's not the same recycled vinyl you're thinking about. I have several of their recent releases using that plant and they all sound great.

Yes, I read every word. It doesn't explain how this process sounds better than other recycled vinyl. I appreciate your input on the sound quality of the other recycled releases and will trust these sound good. 

Here's a dumb question - how does one actually sign up for this? I don't see the option to sign up anywhere. I just see the tiers listed..

Funny to talk about how important sound quality is and then press on recycled vinyl. All of the recycled vinyl I have sounds terrible.

After looking up reviews, I ended up buying the AP Core! This will be my third copy, I have black MOV and that Walmart splatter already. 

You made a good choice! I have eight copies now. This is the last one I will buy, I promise.
