What happened to the board for the past 4-5 days?

Right? I get that it was the weekend and all, but it was fully down for 3 days.

Not surprising, but according to Discogs, the album portion is the same as the recent 2xLP pressings. Just updated labels with the XXV logos.

Anyone looking for a black copy of the 2xLP version for cheap?

 

What's cheap look like? I'm interested.

You obviously know where the for sale section of the forum is since you posted there already. Keep this shit over there.

Wonder if CDs will become popular again…

A while back I was having some issues with my Bluetooth in my car, so I started picking up a bunch of cds for cheap from thrift stores...I have a pretty sweet collection going now of mostly 90s alt rock stuff.

I mean, obviously people on this forum are more likely to collect whatever physical format already, but yeah, I could see it happening. I'm about that bluray/4k life too.

Have Igor and Flower Boy on black already, so i likely wont grab those again...waiting for another Wolf restock though.

I've noticed a lot of splatter releases of late have thicker splatter lines, and less overall "splatter". I don't care for splatters in general and try to avoid them, but I will say the splatter on the yellow and orange variants looks very nice in person for this particular release. 

I still like a good splatter, but im also an outlier in that I go for a crystal clear whenever they're available. Love a nice clear record. Loooove a blob in clear.

This is bullshit.  Describing meticulously placed mics, tuned drums and guitars, amps, preamps, all insinuate actual music.  The easy swap of the band name stylized in all lowercase letters with the actual word “nothing” is also deceptive.

 

They knew what they were doing and it was sneaky as fuck.  It has absolutely ruined me taking any chances on this band’s releases now.

 

The moment I spun this and found out what it was I listed it on eBay and luckily recouped my money.   

Yeah, they were definitely playing on FOMO and misdirection with this.

The overlap of fans with this band and Whirr who had in the past years also done incredibly limited pressings of an excellent album really pushed this over the edge too.

Y'all act like we knew what we were buying and had more than an hour to decide lol.

This right here.

I took a gamble on a historically pretty baller band and it unfortunately didn't pan out the way I would have hoped. I've certainly wasted $50 on dumber shit in the past and likely will at some point in the future.

I actually forgot this release existed.  To those who dropped ~$70 on it; how many times have you actually played this one?

Zero.

Edit: was it really that much at release?

Edit 2: was closer to $50 for me.

its probably been said before but i'd love a pressing of a static lullaby - and don't forget to breathe

Absolutely forgot this band existed, but I'd go in for this album for sure.

So am I correct that after shipping this is a $56 single LP?

Get the fuck out of here.

Would love to see Spartan do a reissue of The Jealous Sound's first album too...

Ughhhhhh. Didn't realize these have a bonus track that mine don't. Now I feel like I have to get them.

F yeah. Already have the first press of the box but really wanted that 2xLP of it. Thanks.

Was thinking the same thing.

agreed, would’ve missed it otherwise tbh, so thank you

Yeah, this is why I don't always like those catch-all threads. Like...I'm not interested in a vast majority of punk/hardcore releases anymore, so I don't really frequent that thread, but sometimes stuff like this gets put in there and no one makes a post for it.

The only place where I think it really worked well was the stoner/doom thread because its narrow and niche enough that if you see that thread and you're into it you click it.

Didn't realize someone had posted this in the hardcore/punk catchall thread until after I posted this, but deserving of its own thread imho.

First repress since 1994 - 30th anniversary edition.

So now, TS is releasing 4 digital versions of Midnights with different artwork and a different "behind the song" on each. This has just gone beyond stupid. I know I don't have to buy it, but this seems predatory on her obsessive fans who might actually buy all 4 of these digital "limited" versions. Sorry if you are one of them. This kind of stuff is just turning me off to even listening to the new album. Carry on.

If it's any consolation the albumnis only ok and really same-y in my opinion. My wife loves it though, but she does say the "bonus" tracks are some of her favorites.

Too high of a price point to take on a small amount of releases IMO. I’m sure the packaging and quality is enough for some people to swing it. 

Seriously.

$150 for 4 records? Yikes. And I'll be honest, I've only even heard of one of the artists from the hip-hop sub and have no idea what they actually sound like.

Cue up Grandpa Simpson "I used to be with 'it'" rant.

The right choice. That album suuuuucks.

Kingside Dec 21, 2022

When you first start collecting vinyl, as your wallet bleeds and you run out of space in your home to keep your records, every collector soon realizes that while what a sweet dream it would be if you were so privileged, that this journey is not simply about replacing your old CD collection and owning every single title you want… When we hit this point, we all have the same epiphany… quit buying EVERYTHING “just because you could”, and start making decisions with surgical precision and purpose… only buy what you’re ACTUALLY going to listen to, or perhaps some really rare exclusive limited shit when the opportunity strikes, but no more… we start to buy with “PURPOSE”. For me, when I experienced this epiphany, I quickly drafted a list of anything I felt I absolutely MUST have, sorta stranded on a deserted island style. This was over 10 years ago… and the number ONE release at the absolute top of my precious list I’ve been picking away at all these years since that fills my heart with so much pride and joy as I inch closer to fulfilling it, was THIS RELEASE… You can all imagine the heartache and extreme dismay I went through at the time when I learned it didn’t exist… Especially with Anthony Green no longer being in the band at the time, the potential that this may NEVER come to exist was quite grim, and I suffered through a hard grief and mourning as I slowly and very painfully came to accept this… it was much like the pain I originally felt after learning Anthony Green left the band before they even recorded a single full length album for us.

SO, imagine the giant nut I burst and extreme enthusiasm everyone around experienced with me as I just couldn’t contain myself, standing in the Las Vegas Festival Fairgrounds at When We Were Young watching Saosin play from right up at the very front, as Anthony just ever so slightly out of no where drops this HUGE BOMB!! They’ve pressed their original EP on vinyl, and IT’S AVAILABLE NOW!! 🤯

Talk about feeling like the need to cry… I’m entirely unsure in every way what it’s going to take to ever feel so happy and satisfied in my life ever again… maybe my first born child? Who knows, we’ll have to see… kids got some big shoes to fill!!

What SHOULD have been my next greatest moments of joy however, securing a copy ✔️, receiving said copy ✔️, opening it up and basking in all the glory of it’s beauty (in one of my favorite colors no less!) ✔️, and then sitting to have the most joyous listening experience of my life, for which all the highest grade expensive audiophile shit I’ve collected over the years felt that no dollar had ever been wasted because THIS right HERE and NOW in this moment is was what it was all for… 🚨🚫🚨‼️

NOPE!! 🥺 …felt absolutely DESTROYED by numerous skips throughout the listen… 😭

I cleaned the already brand new record with extreme detail and care, made sure my needle was as pristine as the day I bought it, recalibrated my turntable, used an anti-static gun 6 times (once in the center and over the grooves in 5 points like a star) on the turntable, one EACH side of the record, and then on the record AGAIN after I had placed it on the turn table… I was DETERMINED to prove that this couldn’t be happening, and that it was all MY fault some how… that it could FIXED… particularly since I typically archive all my most valuable records in DSD 5.6 and then usually never actually spin them again, so I just HAD to figure out how to get ONE. SINGLE. SOLITARY. FLAWLESS. PLAY…

However, the best I came was a limit to ONE skip that I just can’t seem to make NOT happen in “They Perched On Their Stilts, Pointing And Daring Me To Break Custom” …my FAVORITE track no less, and right near where it starts to get the most righteous!

Then I come here, and look around other places in the internet, confirming my worst fear… it wasn’t me… I have a BAD COPY 😭😭😭

This was my white whale… the most anticipated vinyl release I’ve EVER yearned for… for well over a DECADE…

and what do I get?? A BAD copy 💔

EDIT: I’m on an iPad and can’t seem to locate where/how to set a star rating… It’s showing as 5 currently, which clearly does not vibe with my extreme level of dissatisfaction…

I would rate it 3 stars if I could figure it out

1 star for being one of the best damn recorded releases this century
1 star for being an absolutely gorgeous pressing
1 star for the fact that I got 4 out of 5 tracks playing smoothly
-1 star for the sheer emotional distress and robbing me of what should have been one of the best listening experiences of my life 😢
-1 star for the skip happening on my absolute favorite track that I was most looking forward to recording and archiving in Hi-Res DSD 😭

Wowwwwwww. I feel bad for that poor, poor loser.

How does this thread exist with not even one mention of our resident macho man who’s actual username I can’t think of to tag?

The Macho Man never gave licensing rights to these jokers, Brother.

I thought about posting this a while back but even days before this went up it seemed sold out everywhere.

Edit: also I forgot I changed my username a while back.

Semi-related to this thread, Brooklyn Vegan allegedly has a couple Fugazi titles available that have been OOS on the Dischord site for a while and they're the same price (or less than) Dischord charges.

Y'know. If anybody still needs them.

hey guys, someone here recommended an album some time back and i can't recall what it was.  The album was all very pink, and it had a female in the band.  Not slowcrush...  and songs on the shorter side of things if i recall.  The album is not their most recent IIRC.......  Blush something maybe? 

i thought i bookmarked it but i can't find it

Probably Blushing

Yup, I'm going with Blushing. All their albums pretty prominently feature pink on the covers.
