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

I haven't, but I emailed Randy about the scratch on mine and he's sending a replacement. If it's affecting playback I don't think they'll hesitate to send you another one.

Good for them for making sure people still get MMOG upon release, that would have been really lame.

Proofing TOCS and it sounds pretty good, definitely more treble than my Rebirth copy, but I can't decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Wish I still had my 2012 copy to compare. I did notice something that I can't believe I haven't seen anybody talking about: The tracklisting is split 5/5 on this pressing, rather than 6/4 on the others or 6/5 on the OP. Dangerous Business finally gets out from the curse of IGD and gets room to breathe at the top of side B. Definitely an improvement in my book.

Finally got my box set in today... only to open up Lost in the Sound and find a massive chunk of plastic chilling on the disc. Scratched side A all to hell. The rest of the discs were also incredibly dirty, but I won't be sure about additional damage until I get a chance to listen. Super disappointed in Gold Rush, do they not know how to blow off debris before they package a record?

Oof.

Have they tried doing less drugs?

Was bummed I slept on the original pressing, will definitely pick this up on black!

Sorry to bump and oldie, but I was just listening to my deluxe smoke copy and mourning how awful it sounds. Super noisy, especially on The Maze and The Gold, and pretty annoying IGD on the last track of each side. Did I get a QC fluke or is the smoke pressing just terrible? I'd love to replace it eventually with a black copy if those turned out better.

I have clear w/ colored smoke copies of both of those albums (third pressings) and they sound better than I expected them to. A bit of surface noise and IGD, but overall very enjoyable listens. Great clarity and dynamic range. I just looked for identifiers and didn't recognize any, but it's definitely not PP.

Wish we knew if a Simple Math/Sinful Math deluxe pressing was on the horizon like they've been talking about on their Patreon, but I'm gonna snap up a copy of this pressing regardless. Was just wishing yesterday that I had Simple Math and Cope, so this is a very welcome surprise!

New song is pretty rad. Not the best thing they've ever written but I'm definitely in. STOKED about the represses, that's honestly an A+ thing to do for both themselves ($$$) and the fans (I myself was just lamenting yesterday that I never picked up Cope and missed out on the recent Simple Math repress). I like books, and I might have considered it were it a different variant, but I'm not big on white vinyl (especially at that price point). Gonna have to go with the deluxe clear with pink and blue smoke.

Update directly from Underoath, too. Much more specific: "We know that you're patiently waiting your vinyl and more updates from us so we wanted to share an update from Gold Rush (the pressing plant) that we received today. The first batch of vinyl (which includes some but not all of the box set orders) was packed and ready to go to the fulfillment center, based in Austin as is Gold Rush, last Thursday but was unable to go out before the storm hit. Once it's safe to do so and power is restored, it will be sent out -- From Gold Rush: As you have seen in the news, Austin and Texas have been devastated this week by the unprecedented snow storm, bringing record low temperatures, dangerous ice, and massive and extreme power outages. Our staff and the factory are safe, but 100% of our staff has been without power since Monday morning, freezing. Austin expects it will be Friday at the earliest, before power is restored. The factory seems to be in good shape thanks to the many preparations we made, however Austin Energy is forcing shut downs, you can read more about it here. The team had been running around the clock to get records out the door before this happened, we are committed to putting in the extra hours when we can get back into the factory, to put your project back on track. The wonderful vinyl community has offered support, but they are already at full capacity and can not take on any of our projects. We appreciate your support and understanding, and can't wait to be working with you again shortly." TL;DR - If you ordered directly from UO, you might actually get something this month??

Now that's more like it.

Great, now I have to go find my PWNED hat and wear it all day.

Ahh gotcha, that's midnight Thursday morning EST.

Wait did I miss something? The teaser video said 2.18.21

Thanks for the heads up, I went ahead and signed up!

Live stream was way better than I expected. I tuned in about 1/3 of the way through and expected to just dip in and check it out, but it blew me away pretty much immediately. I hope they at least release the audio for a digital download, I think the energy and tweaks of the live performance made it at least twice as good as the studio album (though The Maze and The Parts are still better on the album). Looking forward to seeing what they do with the new record, I've got my calendar marked for Thursday.

Grabbed a white earlier from Milan but might have to take a shot at that Mondo red as I'm not generally stoked on the idea of white for this release.

Been waiting years for this!

I have their first two albums, but I'm having trouble engaging with the EP and this new single. They're fine, but I don't feel like I need to own them. But maybe I just haven't listened to them enough yet or in the right headspace.

But a Fleeting Illness (under the influence) was on the 7" included in the 10" set. You might be able to hunt down someone willing to part with theirs.

I will probably have to bite for the sake of Trust Fall and Bleach Bath being two of their best songs. Would love this to either be a 45 or include the 4 latest singles.
