My local store posted they’ve been getting inundated with calls every day from Swifties asking about her release. I think I’m just gonna sleep in and find an online drop somewhere. 

Same here. The only RSD release I've ever wanted that I couldn't grab online the next day for retail price was Slave to the Grind. I've gotten everything else I've wanted without the hassle of waiting in line, dealing with flippers, or spending money on gas. 

Do you store your records inside the walls? That's the only logical reason that termites would get to them..

If you have termites inside your home eating your shit, then you need to move immediately. Not that you will be able to sell your house in those conditions.

If the first single is any indication, it won't. But each of the last couple albums have varied stylistically song-to-song somewhat. So who knows. This song gave me instant "In Your Honor" vibes. Which is my fav FF album

I haven't listened to the track yet, but In Your Honor is the last Foo Fighters album I really enjoyed. So this gives me some optimism. 

Fuck this. Give me Age of Adz Part 2!

Got the indie exclusive, and it is one of the best sounding records I own. Also the Iridescent color is very cool

 

I also got the indie exclusive, and it looks very cool. Doesn't sound like anything special to me though. Just sounds like a typical pressing.

pumped this is finally getting a repress after i (somewhat regrettably) sold my first pressing years ago.  but really really hoping there's an anniversary tour like there was for Manners.

I sold my original as well. Got over $200 for it. I don't regret it at all now that this is coming out!

Public sale had seat ticket prices through the roof...  like minimum fan to fan resale was at least $250.  Pit seats were $2000...  Somehow I don't believe that's how much they were on Wednesday.

Ended up grabbing a few lawn tickets.

Was this on Ticketmaster? My tickets say I can only list them for what I paid for them. 

Got in, got a great seat for myself. Excited for this show even if I'm doing it alone. 

Best list in a long time for me. I will try to grab:

Scott Weiland

The Cure

Our Lady Peace

Sigur Ros

Wilco

Pearl Jam

Diiv

Poe

Verve Pipe

Releasing on Record Store Day

Then I might have to go to Record Store Day for the first time in 10 years!

I’m the weirdo who prefers Manic, I just like the songs better. I’ll see myself out….

Same here. 

They played three new songs when I saw them this summer, and they were all great. Much better than anything from the last album, which I also found quite underwhelming. 

I was hoping CT would have a better variant. I went with the green Spotify version.

If you want to go the budget route, I recommend this set - https://amzn.to/3CRUnNA

If you have a bit more money to spend, go with this - https://amzn.to/3XBPqAE

It also depends on how dirty your records are.

I actually forgot this release existed.  To those who dropped ~$70 on it; how many times have you actually played this one?

It was closer to $50, but mine is still sealed and I have no intention of listening to it. Do you want to buy it?

yep that sounds like the hold steady alright

There are three certainties in life - death, taxes, and the hold steady always sounding exactly like the hold steady.

I'm so happy about this!  I thought I was going to have to pay out the ass, now I might even get a return 

I mean, you're still supposed to pay taxes on any earnings whether you receive a 1099 form or not. The new tax law wasn't setting new limits for taxpayers - just new minimums for tax forms to be provided to taxpayers. You're still supposed to report everything you earn. But I won't tell anyone if you don't.

Wow. Someone spent $2,222 on this one.

I'm actually more amazed that people spent an extra $250 on a single piece of paper from Gavin's journal. Makes $2000 for a puppet seem quite reasonable!

Huh, got mine today and Magnified is a 2LP now. Never owned a previous pressing so I can’t compare, but I’m sure one of you will end up with both and comment on it.

The 2LP pressing from the box set is way better than the old single LP. I assume this new issue is the same. 

Am I listening to a different album? I didn't find this boring or repetitive at all. The whole thing is excellent in my opinion. I will be spinning this a lot.

Three color pressings w demos on the 3rd LP. 

 

Anyone know the pressing numbers for each color? 

I haven't heard anything about pressing numbers, but every other site (including Amazon) lists this as random color. I think all 3 options are cool, so I placed an order with Bullmoose and another with Amazon to try my luck. 

These can't be very limited. I would guess at least a few thousand of each color.

like most people, a spin clean. however, I took a gamble and backed an "ultrasonic record cleaner" kickstarter, for $150US I'm not expecting much but it's not much to risk so why not. we'll see if they actually ship on time and if it works.

I considered this, but I couldn't pull the trigger after watching the video of the super warped record on their turntable and the graphic that shows the label fully submersed in the cleaning machine. 

How am I supposed to trust a company that can't even find a flat record to use as a demo? This looks like amateur hour.

Has anyone got a notice of shipping on the Box Set yet?

Nothing here, but the original description said it would ship around end of October, so I'm not expecting anything yet. 

I have spun the Walmart red and the black versions, and I don't notice anything odd about the opening of Them Bones. I will listen harder tonight.

I can't believe people are describing the second half of this album as a slog. I can't imagine skipping side C. This album is about as flawless as they come for me.
