Same, though I ordered from NB EU.

Got shipping notice from Nuclear Blast for the Green in Bottle Green w/ Black Splatter Dead Again 3xLP. Anyone else? 

We already are. A record that’s been OOP for 6+ years is going to be, at least, $8-$15 more than it was when it was last pressed. There are exceptions. Supply and demand are making it easy to make these things happen. Labels/bands need to survive too. Albeit to a certain extreme that hurts us. But even then you can have an “endless” pressing, $50 is still decent. 
 
Again, we’re talking about a band that was charging $50 for a double LP 10 years ago.
 
Mentioning/complaining about the rise in prices for records is one of the craziest things to me. Especially with what the fuck is going on and the world we’re all living in. Ramen used to be $.25, now it’s two for a $1. FUCK! I’m done!
 
Instead of voicing an opinion that doesn’t matter, bow out of “the hobby” gracefully.

nah, you completely misread my comment.  I was just reminiscing.  And the hashtag is just funny to me, not a blast on the band whatsoever...

Are you not familiar with Fantastic Planet??
 
A universally loved record that wasn’t pressed until 14 years after it was released, has had only two pressings and is insanely rare to come by for cheaper than 4-5 times what they’re charging. A record that’s only gotten more popular in the 26 years since it’s release and will continue to.
 
You may bitch and moan about it, but not bad for what it is, if you ask me.
 
Its also Failure. 

Thankful that I've already got good pressings of all their albums.  $50 for the FP 2LP ok... but $50 for Comfort and Magnified for a single disc?  yikes... that's a little steep for sure.

If it ends up being 1/2 speed master of 10,000 Days on 10 discs, in an obsidian box with white gold etching artwork, and a collection of 4 tiny bottles each of them containing a fart from a band member for $10,000, i'll definitely pass on it.  I'll wait a few months for the half-priced basic version, ain't falling for that shit again like i did with the 5LP FI box.

This right here. 
I have a few boots shirts that are way better quality and price than these. 

There’s so many bootleggers that put out these shirts all the time for a fraction of the price and they look better than the originals

excited but i know its gonna be $600

…For the initial scramble.  Some autographed or lenticular tomfoolery with no mention that a more reasonable version is a week or two away from preordering.  And perhaps even then a modest, no-frill version some months down the road.
Or it could be a DVD with a new music video, for a song off an album that’s 16 years old.  Fully prepared for either.

Definitive Edition $50 a pop t-shirts are up on the nin site.  "Limited production heavyweight tee is garment-dyed, washed and specially treated for a soft, subtle worn-in vintage 90s feel and fit"  it better suck my dick too for 50 bones.  Jesus christ on a cracker.  Was totally going to get a Sin Era and Salt and Teeth TDS to replace my worn out ones until i saw the price tag.

Never heard of this until i stumbled across it today.  And it's fantastic.  Stupid price for the vinyl but the music is actually really enjoyable.  The song titles kill me.

I mean, the last 10" single, I *really* liked those songs.

I played this game last time, buying each of the three EPs that made up the first album, and then buying the full album when it dropped.

It's kind shitty, but honestly I didn't loose any money, I sold the EPs when the album dropped without even being scummy about the price I was ahead money.  And I didn't feel bad because if all you cared about was the music, a new fan could buy the album.  If you were a collector and wanted the EPs just cause, then fine, I was selling mine.


It'll probably be the same deal as last time, but I like the songs enough that if it turns out for each of these only one of two of the songs ends up on the album then great, I have the B-Side on vinyl.  If not and it's all on the album, then great, I can just sell these.

New double single on 10” :

they really gonna milk the hell out of this upcoming album huh 

Nah, these $80 versions appear to be only the base 33-song album.  The 10 extra songs on the 7"s are only included with the premiere holy shit box set package on the Zuzu site for $250.

Listed on RSD website now, I was able to pre-order indie exclusive 4LP from my local store for $80 plus tax.  Also see it's popped up on Amazon, though the listing is not ready to take pre-orders.

I’ve listen to it a couple of times now, and while I don’t love it, I like it enough to keep it in rotation. It is very different overall. Yes, there are textures, motifs, rhythms, guitar licks, and of course, Cedric’s vocals that sound familiar, it really doesn’t bear any substantial resemblance to past TMV albums.
 
Playing the Atmos stream forced into my 2 channel setup it sounds very clean, detailed, punchy but still laid back enough to not blow out the experience.  

I’ll prob get it on vinyl eventually.

Well it's TMV release day. 
 
My vinyl pre-order shipped out yesterday.  I guess I accidentally ordered from the Europe Clouds Hill site instead of US so it'll be a hot minute before I get my copy. 
 
Listening to the album this morning though and I've got to say I'm pretty satisfied so far.  To me, it doesn't sound like anything TMV has ever done.  Definitely doesn't have the energy of Deloused, Frances and Bedlam.  I would say it's most closely resembling of Octahedron and Noctourniquet.  I'm a big fan of those albums just as much as the high-energy TMV so it works out fine for me.

Oh me too! That should sound amazing! 

Hopefully it’s not too long between them fixing the test presses and the preorder.  I cannot wait to have a legit copy of YPAA.
