That Rough Trade TSIR variant tho...👌

Very nice, definitely some deep cuts on there. I just want them to re-record all of their older records haha those tracks on the first redux record just sound so damn crisp

Hard Times got this merch out before Touché Amoré could...

Spoken like someone who hasn’t seen family members reveal themselves as unrepentant pieces of subhuman shit over the last four years.

 

album is great

Seeing your aunt and uncle defend the cop that killed George Floyd hits a little different than when they say they're anti-abortion.

Lament definitely exceeded my expectations, there are no "skippable" tracks, imo

I think it looks great. A Side looks good, B Side is what’s expected. Some are going to be better than others. 

Jokes aside, I'm pretty happy with it. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I woulda been okay with just the black/white mix, so the rainbow was just an interesting little garnish. It looks nice on the table on both sides, even if they're not identical or what I initially expected.

“Mom, can we get Guilty of Everything w/ rainbow splatter?”

”We have GOE w/ rainbow splatter at home.”

I didn't get shipping notification on the Deluxe, but I checked the KRM site and it said it shipped out yesterday. No tracking info tho

Same for my gold/beer from KRM. The below message was on the same page:
"There was an error pulling your tracking number from the system. Please contact customer service for further details. We apologize for the inconvenience."

Invisible Variant (Urban Outfitters Exclusive) /500?

Signed by the whole band with invisible ink

It's a little bit of a bummer, not gonna lie, but as long as the finished product is quality, I'll forget all about this wait once it arrives. Very stoked.

That could potentially be really cool looking or a disaster. I trust it'll be cool though, curious to see it.

I would have been okay with just black/white merge without the rainbow splatter, less of a chance it being a disaster. But I just got the notification that mine is shipped, so I'll be sure to keep everyone updated on which of the two it ends up being if someone else doesn't first.

I was waiting for medium guy

Aye

Yeah, the band responded via e-mail around 4 AM this morning, saying 7+ should be just fine.  But they encouraged me to place an order quickly.  It was actually just brought to my attention, too, that 5 is the cart limit on Bandcamp.  Splitting the order completely defeats the purpose of the savings.  I'm going to respond to their e-mail but due to timezone differences, I'm not sure if they'll be able to get back to me anytime soon.  Oof.  If they can't fulfill all of us, I think the first 5 to show interest in this thread should probably get them.  (I know Shelby would give up his spot, I'm 99% certain, since he has an OG and doesn't need this reissue.  I had to twist his arm with the $35 price tag.  I'm sure someone could take his place.)

 

Going to send the band an e-mail and get this figured out shortly.  Sit tight.

Thanks for handling this, Derek. As I've expressed to you, no harm no foul if I can't get in on this. I'm sure someone who has been pining after this release for longer than literally this month would be happy to take that fifth spot if Shelby is indeed okay giving it up and we are limited to five.

Here’s where it gets interesting.  I’m going to try to order for all 8 of us.  We initially shot for 7, which is $35 each.  If MyEnemy and Equinox both pay before noon, then that means Media Mail will be even cheaper for everyone in a month or so, whenever these show up.  But we technically only need 1 more payment – so, let the battle commence for the “final” (required) spot.  High noon.  Be quick.

If you need one more payment still, I volunteer as tribute.

Not proud of myself, but pulled the trigger on that Revolver copy. Hopefully someone will want the gold/beer split down the road.

At least offers can be accepted.

My favorite part is where he says "A must have for any Coheed and Cambria fan." If you are a true COTF, you'll take out  that second mortgage like Claudio would want you to.

Happy Friday, yinz. Found a little joke that made me chuckle this morning, thought I'd share:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Good-Apollo-I-m-Burning-Star-IV-Vol-1-From-Fear-Through-the-Eyes-of-Madness/192371332344?pageci=f7dd1880-1924-46a5-8fd3-0a15a0b29ac0&epid=237532701&fbclid=IwAR2NvwBLp8Y8ctY7gVFA8Nw_QcP3triNsCRo5t2Vkd1nnjR8WFbkS0q8BKw

Considered bumping the OG GAIBSIV thread for this but didn't want to get anyone's hopes up unnecessarily.

I'm still happy with my gold, but that's not a bad fallback for anyone who wasn't able to snag one.

I think it's too late for me, I ordered the gold/beer from KR and I'm already getting digital dowloads (literally just got the latest one a few minutes ago). I think it should turn out nice, but I'm definitely on the fence about ordering this and finding a good home for the other one.

For those interested, just from Discogs

TOUCHÉ AMORÉ ‘LAMENT’ LIMITED-EDITION BLACK INSIDE AQUA VINYL— ONLY 500 MADE

Dammit, that’s the perfect variant. I wish I had waited.

One listen and I know I need this, and that /350 on Translation Loss looks like it might be pretty sexy. Is that the only place to get a copy that ships from the US?

Just got my copy yesterday and the jacket is falling apart, it's not even glued together...wtf?

I love Sumac, but Turner's approach to the packaging of their records leaves a lot to be desired....

Yeah, pretty much the only negative thing I can say about this release, thankfully.
