    Has anyone ever ordered from Target? They've got both of The Bled's albums for ~$16 each. I know I've ordered some artbooks from them and the packaging was absolute shit, so I dunno if they ship in actual mailers or what. 

    I've ordered from Target quite a few times. If you order something that's popular and coming from a store, it will be shipped in a big box with very little protection. If you order something that isn't available in stores, it will usually come in a mailer. Oddly enough, the stuff that comes in mailers is often more damaged than the stuff in the big boxes.

    Saw it confirmed on his IG - this is the only purchase option, no US seller

    So, it's $500 for the box set + $100 shipping

    Love his work, want these albums on vinyl, but no. That's obscene for just 7 albums.

    Agreed. Most I could justify is $250 for this box, which would be $30 per album plus an extra $40 for the packaging/book.

     

    I will wait to see if these are released individually.

    This is a band whose first album is a favorite album of all time for me and they’ve never been able to completely match that magic.  Doesn’t appear they will on this new LP either

    Are you talking about Von? Because that's by far my least favorite album of theirs. Very little magic there for me. Everything since has has infinitely more magic.

    Given that most of these albums are $20 to $25 on Amazon, that ends up being a pretty expensive slipmat!

    No insert, just a white paper sleeve.  

    The cover art is pixelated and seems like a CD upscale.  Spine text is blurry.  Even the barcode on the back is fuzzy.

     

    My split is wobbly but I haven’t dropped the needle yet, so I don’t know if it affects the sound.  Probably won’t but you hate to see it.

    Based on this review, I will pass on this pressing and stick with by gatefold SRC copy.

    How Matt did the blue DiH was perfect where anyone who wanted one had the chance to purchase it.  Really hope it's the same way for the upcoming represses.

    I was a little annoyed that they did a super limited black press in 2018 and acted like it was the only press, and then a year later did a much wider blue press. But at least I have a great-sounding copy!

    Who all copped this?  I see copies surfacing in the wild and they honestly look so good.  I’m not imagining that the mock-up was a fail that marbled grey… but someone must’ve spent the last 8 months getting the perfect amount of pellets in the mix, because the pics I’ve seen have all been right on the money.

    Also it’s cool to see them match the doodle font with the “20th Anniversary” text on the cover.  I’m sure a lot of folks would prefer no mention of the anniversary on their cover art, but at least it’s not egregious.  Anyone remember those Underoath represses that had the giant gold bar on the top (bottom?) of the art?  Good times.

    I got my shipping notification today.

     

    I'm so glad they added the anniversary logo. Makes my original press more unique!

    Just keep in mind that they don't revise stock numbers until after today has ended -- the numbers you see are definitely not what is "currently" in stock. Indeed, if you see anything other than "more than 20/30/50" in stock, there's a high probably the item has already sold out. But you never know, so worth checking. Better be logged in a quick to the trigger -- remaining overstock on that site (as well as Bullmoose) typically sells out fast.

    Plaidroom has been updating stock all day. I'm sure you're right that it's not perfectly accurate, but I've been tracking everything I want closely. For example, Our Lady Peace was at 25 copies at 9am and now it's at 14.
