Definitely makes sense. I ended up biting when it was 'Sold Out' but I'm impatient I guess so I wanted to nab one when they came back in stock. The new hour of music is fantastic and I have been listening to the download quite a bit - it is really good. It sounds like the quality of this release for $80 is better than the Deviations 4LP so that's good. Now that I put the money down I'm just excited about getting the Bird Box box set in the mail. Anticipating a shipping notice sooner than later! 

Nice.  I wouldn't call mine unlistenable, but it sounds like you may've erred on the side of lucky with your press.  I guess I'd just like to see a little more love and care go into the sound quality over a mega-glossy jacket and packaging, at that price point.

Just got mine in the mail yesterday. There was no tracking number but they did send an email to say it had shipped. I know they are going out in waves so maybe yours either just recently shipped or just hasn't gone out yet? I don't know about it getting marked complete, though, as I never checked the status on the website. Good luck

Bout time someone made a Muslimgauze thread - thx. So crazy this guy died in 1999 and they are still finding stuff to release. 
 
I need a copy of Uzi Mahmood But I think that’s probably the most common. What’s your favorite stuff by him?

It doesn't specify that it's the exclusive but this is the listing I found

It doesn't say purple or colored on the website but the UPC code matches with the bar code on the sticker. Pretty sure it is purple as I haven't seen a black run as far as I'm aware. Even Amazon is going to have purple at some point:

I like this. I like the sax solo. I will order this based on these two songs. Fight me. But I do wish the LP was orange. 

Saw on the socials that Profound Lore is putting out a 4 LP remastered version of Leviathan - Verrater

Hi everyone,
LPs are finally in! Planning on getting all our preorders out this week. Thank you to everyone who already ordered for your support and patience.  Took a few quick pics but I plan to take nicer ones this week as well.  
 
Die cut cover / spot UV sleeve / 3 color variants! $18 +shipping. 
Thanks!

Looks like there's only 21 copies of magenta left at Thrill Jockey (also still available at Bandcamp). 

Wonderful Rainbow reissue sold out on both sites.

They have a festival going on right now  so I’m sure they’re quite busy. I’ve ordered from them lots of times with no problems. 

They are most definitely not gonna scam you, ordered countless times and never had a problem. I'd say just be patient.

There’s not a weak song on there, that’s for sure.  Culling Voices is maybe holding up the rear but there’s no denying how infectious that “don’t you dare point that at me” line is, again and again.  No moment quite like that on the album.  An aggressively fun song compared to some of the more sprawling epics.
 
Maynard’s voice and delivery choices were my weakest link on first listen.  At the same time it’s tough to fault the dude for sounding different and being eager to try new things after 14 years.  I never got into APC but I’ve read that comparison a good bit.  It just takes a little getting used-to, and then you’re set.
 
Isis with Chanellor subbing in like he does for Panopticon, maybe?  That’d be wild.

I do like the idea of a catch-all shitshow for album impressions, redundant jokes, and general tomfuckery... but I’m all for keeping this thread clean and relevant with actual PO info, since a lot of folks are probably looking for just that while trudging through the other thread and regretting the use of their free time as a result.

Also, the Deluxe orange (bottom) is a slightly different shade of orange than the indie retail (top).
 
 

My biggest pet peeve in record collecting is 45 rpm records with 2 songs per side.
 
I’d totally opt for a yellow if it meant the 40min LP was on a single record!

Lateralus up!

I think at the end of this countdown we’re gonna have new album details but also vinyl reissues...

These songs come off so much better live.
 
Baroness still put on one hell of a show.

I love love LOVE the new Abyssal. Got an email earlier this week saying the vinyl might be delayed, but I got my copy today. Kind of disappointed that it's just blue instead of blue/black merge, but what a fucking great album. Weird-ass daaark, blackened, death metal. I thought it would feel like a dreadfully long album too based on the tracklist (one of my gripes with the newest Inter Arma album, which is kinda similar), but it flies by. Maybe my AOTY so far.

OK so I got the clear splatter in today and gave it a spin.  The artwork for this thing is just gorgeous, and the records themselves are beautiful as well.  As for the music...it's fucking great.  I already like it more than either Purple or Y&G.  The production is perfectly fine after listening to it in full IMO.  Speaking of which I love the cheeky little phrases on the labels themselves e.g. 'frequency overload' & 'brickwall sounds' .

I know it's hip to hate on Baroness now, but I genuinely like the music on this album. I think it's a big progression from Purple. It's much more Yellow/Green in scope and direction (which I love). The production however is far worse than Purple, so it's heartbreaking to listen to. It just boggles my mind that someone could listen to this and say "yep" on the quality.
