Can't decide if I want to cancel my order from the band's store and get the deluxe through vinylmnky. Is no hassle and a t-shirt worth $33 to me?

You're welcome to try the 10% off code I already used. 6MQZXKSH

Picked up the cokebottle deluxe and a shirt. I submitted a different email for the code and I finally got one... for 10% off instead of 15%? Also, once I checked out it gave me a popup to buy a digital copy of the album for a discounted price of $5... I laughed, then went and looked at the product page for the vinyl copy and it didn't say anything about a digital copy included. Plus I realized the store is run by Second City Prints, who just did Manchester Orchestra's latest record and screwed me out of a digital copy. So I went ahead and paid $5 more like a chump, but at least I know I won't have to pay $15 after the fact just for something that should have been included. Fortunately, pre-ordering the digital includes instant download of Damn Excuses, which I expected, and Hallelujah, which to my knowledge is as of yet unreleased?

Brother, Sister is my new white whale.

I got an email subject line "You made it official." but it doesn't appear to have a code anywhere in it, it just thanks me for subscribing?

I'm just sitting over here with no webcam waiting for a pre-order and an actual single.

Got my black AB today! Much sooner after All Crazy than I expected. Haven't listened yet, but I am, once again, stoked about the little ways they find to make the packaging so unique. Also, I was shocked when I saw how colorful the cover is. In my mind, AB has always had really monochromatic cover art, but upon closer inspection the color is there and it really pops on this packaging.

I never picked up the Ten Stories deluxe, so I'm super down for the inevitable new box set.

Ugh, I love the care and attention to detail this band puts into these releases. Just got my black copy in today and the packaging is another knockout. Gave the album a once-through and it sounds great (the bass on Every Thought is spectacular) but I'll give it a detailed listen soon. Also, did anyone else notice something special on the shipping label underneath the tracking barcode?

They got delayed (again) but they're supposed to all be shipped out this month. Whether or not that happens is another question, and I don't think anybody here has reported receiving one since the first round when they were sent out with misprinted slipbands and then shipping stopped abruptly while they got new slipbands (thus the delay).

Fun fact: The "Want to watch?" button on the email they sent out leads to an unlisted, unavailable video on Fearless Records' YouTube titled "Nightmares NEW MIX FINAL"... I assume this was an accident, and it may not even be an UO song, but I am curious now.

I agree that this isn't the most exciting UO song, but it is decent enough. It's got some chugging guitars and a bit of grunge that I don't associate with these guys, so it's interesting to see them trying out something different again. I'm curious to see where the rest of the album goes, but so far I'm on board, albeit not extremely enthusiastically. Unpopular opinion: On My Teeth is in the bottom 3 or 4 songs off Erase Me.

Agreed, it's one of the more beautiful mockups I've seen. I have an original black pressing, though, and mine sounds mostly great, aside from some minor IGD and some inherent fuzziness in the production.

Deluxe 10th anniversary reissue of Wye Oak's "Civilian" on the first LP with a newly unearthed collection of B-Sides, Demos, and Live Versions dubbed "Cut All The Wires" on the second LP. Gatefold sleeve with dual front cover and obi spine strip. Full-color printed dust sleeves with lyrics. Green Swirl vinyl. Out October 22, 2021. $29.98 at Merge Records w/ bonus exclusive poster & button. Jenn Wasner also released a rather eloquent and fascinating statement about the release on their website. New (Old) Song: Electricity I for one was hoping for a 2x45 anniversary reissue but this is also excellent and unexpected.

Just found this email in my spam folder: "This is a shipping update for our recent vinyl re-issue for [A-->B] Life that went on-sale on this past June. These albums were not for pre-order but shipping times for them has slipped into July. Originally we had hoped to have these orders in the mail the week after they went up for sale, but we are still processing orders for the re-issue of It's All Crazy! It’s All False! It’s All a Dream! It’s Alright, which went up for pre-order almost 8 months ago. The product for that re-issue had been delayed and only arrived to us at the end of May so those orders must to be fulfilled first. Once completed we will immediately begin to fulfill the orders for the [A—>B] Life re-issue. Orders containing the "Pyrite," "Clay," and "Audiophile Black" variants of the standard vinyl as well as the "Audiophile Black" variants of the collector’s edition should all be fulfilled by the end of July. The "Warmth & Whisper" variant of the collector’s edition was listed as "Shipping later this Summer" and is still on track for that time. The manufacturer has not been able to give us anything more than that estimate, but once we have more concrete information we will send out another update." Which presumably also means It's All Crazy should all be fulfilled in the next few weeks? One can hope?

Not sure how I feel about the album as a whole on the first listen, but Back to the Middle is hands down the best track.

Same. It haunts me.

Ordered that black deluxe. I bought the Sugar Into Tea variant on the last big repress and it looks super cool but the last time I was listening I was wishing I had bought black for the sound quality. So this works out perfectly. I do find it interesting that it says the black ships right away... It would be ironic if this shows up before my black All Crazy does.

Got mine in today, sadly no flexi. Guess they already ran out.

Wow, that's pretty crappy. I also emailed them earlier today, I suppose I'll hear the same thing. I feel pretty strongly that if I pay $36 for a first run record I should probably not have to pay another $10 for a digital copy.

My deluxe copy came in, looks great and sounds a touch noisy at times but otherwise great. However, I couldn't find any download card in the packaging nor did I see anything on my online order page?

"Shipment received" since Friday, but yes, I too seem to be getting Cope in the shipment as well.

Walking back into this thread like

This song is an absolute joy to listen to. Looking forward to hearing this on wax.

Okay, I'm back onboard after that single. Really working for me.
