I got shipment notification, so there's like a 50% chance these are actually shipping now.

Somewhere in the 99% range. And yet, I ordered a red.

I mean, obviously I bought it, but my expectations for quality are pretty low. Tired of SS/T&N's shoddy pressings of albums that deserve better, but what can ya do? Besides, obviously, not buying them, which we all know isn't an option. The Hobby!

Saw them a couple of days ago and honestly it was one of the best performances I've seen in my life. They all have so much fun and Fran's voice is absolutely unreal. If they're going anywhere near you, don't miss them.

Hop Along "Bark Your Head Off, Dog"

The good news is the 7" set is 45 RPM and 1A sounds excellent and full. Also, first time hearing the opener and it's actually quite good.

Here to say the packaging for this record looks amazing.

Both variants are en route. Very excited.

I dig how the second one came out. PM me if you're serious about this and I'll order a second press copy and we can make arrangements for you to get my first press.

Had to track mine down, but I have it now and am almost done listening. Not quite up to the pressing standard of their last record, which sounded fantastic, but it's still enjoyable. Not their strongest album, either, but a solid entry into the discography. Worth it for having Money in the Walls on vinyl alone.

Did anybody actually get this? Mine has showed as "shipped" in the order info for weeks but there's no tracking and nothing has come to me.

Cool, getting a $10 refund. Not sure how this affects the folks who paid less than $45, but hope it turns out okay for them.

I am a garbage person and spent $103.22 on the deluxe black (presumably a heavy smoke or a translucent dark gray) and the 7" box set. Not a fan of the cover but I am a fan of the whole acid green theme.

New song: It Was Not Natural Was just going to pick up the black from Amazon because I have black copies of their other albums, but that colored vinyl goes so perfectly with the artwork and general vibe of the album. And that Merge free shipping! So I just put in an order, oops.

So apparently I missed all the hullabaloo and didn't even realize I had one of the coveted first press copies ordered. Just now seeing the second press variant and I could really go either way on the colors.

Got my red copy yesterday, packaging is super cool. Only listened to side A because I was semi-busy and didn't want to listen to new songs while distracted, but Floodplains sounded awesome. Definitely pick this up if you haven't already.

I picked up the Volume I 7" back when it dropped and the sound quality was pretty atrocious (also they billed it as a 45 but it apparently got mispressed as a 33) but really hoping this is up to par with their other releases, which are stellar. Just picked up the splatter. That being said, if anyone wants Volume I for collection purposes, I'd be happy to part with it.

A while back someone posted Sufjan Stevens' "Illinois" and I had never really given the full album a chance so I downloaded it. Time to pay it forward, as I just picked up the record. vnce-u9fr

Daughter "If You Leave" 12_22416_z21410 And let's see if this works now... Hundred Suns "The Prestaliis" L667SU9ESE

Hoo boy...

Commenting so this stays on my radar. Used to love this album but can't decide if I would actually get my money's worth out of this now.
