Billy FUCKING Breathes
 
Guess I'm lining the fuck up

I already have one on preorder but if I can get the price down, I'm in to cancel mine

But the question is... should we wait for the clear pressing that comes right after?

Ways this is a problem:
 
1. They used the “one-time” pressing line as a selling point, then released a new one which is identical save for color and edition size (both of which are arguably better on the second). Several people on the board debated buying it because of the possibility it would be available cheaper elsewhere, or without international shipping, but ended up going through with the purchase for fear they wouldn’t have another chance. 
2. They weren’t upfront about the possibility of other variants until the first one already sold out, and even then they just gave a vague hint until this morning when it went up for sale. 
3. The new variant is more limited (and objectively nicer looking) than the first, a big “screw you” to the people that made the first one sell out in the first place. How many of those 300 buyers would have preferred this one instead?
4. Because it was announced and put up for sale shortly after the first one shipped, those loyal preorder people didn’t have a chance to ask for an exchange if they would have preferred this one, or even first dibs if they wanted one of each.
5. The label clearly sees this as somewhat scummy, which is why they’re pulling out the “It’s being sold on eBay! We’re just trying to meet demand!” excuse, but addressed it by releasing an even rarer variant which at best won’t do squat to eBay sales and at worst will cause a whole new run for the clear vinyl version.
6. Nitpicking, but they also used the “we made this pressing more expensive so you should be happy you got in early” excuse  when the difference is only a few bucks and for that you get colored vinyl (we’ll, clear...) and a run of one-third fewer copies.
 
Just my opinion. I see the people who don’t think it’s a big deal and get what they’re saying, but personally these things bug me. 

"Hopefully it'll become clear"
 
I'm dead hahahahaha

Would consider it if it were the other two. These were eh. 

dead @ that shipping LOL

Somebody just reissue VV:2 for fucks sake.

Hammock just put up more copies of Oblivion Hymns: http://shop.hammockmusic.com/album/oblivion-hymns

Kess is the worst flipper on here. Remember in 2013 when he flipped that Brand New record? He should be fucking KILLED and ragged on for years to come LOL

Awww, is this your first time using the electronic bay?

in my fucking cart and it sold out 

Also got mine this morning - looking forward to listening tonight. 

It's extremely charming to take pleasure in other people's misfortune. 

I'm confused. Are we allowed to like this album again?

Ah, so you're just here to take shots at someone else's music tastes. Carry on.
