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.

Just noticed some Unofficial Buckethead pressings have emerged over the past month or so.  So far I've seen the following:
Colma
Electric Sea
Giant Robot
Crime Slunk Scene
 
Colma and Electric Sea were instant snags for me, not very familiar with the other two.  I sure hope A Real Diamond in the Rough becomes available because that's probably my favorite of all the albums I've heard.  Granted... I've not been able to absorb all 800+ albums he's released.  I wonder if anyone has.

I'm surprised they only pressed 150 of the fly version. Could have gotten at least 500 idiots to buy that.

Looks like my order for all 4 on black will be delivered to me tomorrow.  Super excited to spin these.

for convenience, sure.  for sound quality, absolutely not.  and sound quality is going to win each and every time from my perspective.  especially knowing how meticulous Matt and company are when it comes to putting out top notch quality and the music as it's intended to be listened to.

looks like only Electra and YPAA are 45rpm?  Regardless, went with the 4 album black bundle.  Can't wait to get these!

Well I gotta say, aside from a few plastic shavings from the spindle hole, this is an excellent pressing. Both records are flat as can be. Admittedly i only listened to the Omega. But it's pretty Dope.
I'm still a bit confused as to the drama behind this release. But I'm glad I finally have some MM in my collection. Now we need to go backward. I want Antichrist, children and portrait. Let's do this!

Damn, Must have pulled it... It was there this morning

sigh.. waiting for eventual refund

Life is Killing Me is my most played record of theirs. To me it’s certainly the easiest to listen to start to finish and the most consistent as well. To do that it sacrifices a bit of character(it’s their most straightforward album), but I don’t mind. 
 
I didn’t click on the links, but I’ve pretty much stopped buying everything but my favorite bands new albums and even then I’m usually listening to as much as I can of it before buying. Prices are just too much. And forget about variants, represses, or these days even recuts. I’m good with what I have.

i may have to reconsider my hobby choices. these prices are just astronomical and wanton! Look at me and big words...

…and I’m out
 

Not that it needs to be said since iDealélan already confirmed it himself, but mine showed up today.  Proper LP mailer inside of an oversized Amazon box.  (Phew.)  Quality jacket.  Big ol' hype sticker with "Vinyl Made in France" sticker on the back.
Personally, I'm probably gonna' keep this one sealed for at least a week or two, just to see what shakes out for other variants.  Something tells me that if the band or EVR have one, we'll see it announced soon.  But this is a great backup option if you ask me, especially at $25.  If a nicer variant gets released, I figure it wouldn't be hard to sell this one for $30 PPD... especially brand new / sealed.  And if nothing better comes along, I'll gladly be spinning this black copy over my 2014 tour press [which leaves a lot to be desired both sonically and visually].
Fingers crossed that someone somewhere decided on at least one half-decent idea for these 2023 variants. 🤞

lol it's already unsealed and on my cleaning machine!

Euclid Records in New Orleans got this in. $72.99 😬

Wow. cant believe wal-mart came thru. just received my copy. split seam on the omega. but whom do i complain to, UMG? lol

that's what's up.  Thanks for the info, going to pull the trigger on it.

Bought it in the last few weeks, what I received is the 2023 EU pressing (“Made in France” sticker on the back). I don’t have the 2014 pressing to compare - but this sounds pretty good.

I just can't imagine them spontaneously finding and listing a shit-ton of 2014 stock, especially after Discogs reviews are flooding in to discuss a new press.  But I've been wrong before.  I think there are some pretty clear tells that it's a newer press without even opening the record up.  I'll know tomorrow and get back to you.
Oh yeah, I've been over splatters and zany variants for years now.  Huge sucker for "simple" monochrome variants.  But I still want them to make sense.  Orange to match the font.  "Blood Red Summer" red.  A translucent amber or cream to match the clouds.  Purple and green just ain't it.
