Your Private Sky and Southside Life were released on a 7" for RSD. I think it was 2012. Others have been released as digital bonus tracks - I know Broken China and Electric Rainbow have, but I'm not sure about the others.

I'm not saying MCIS and TAFH shouldn't have been cheaper, because they should have. But $100 for a 5 x LP box set that had never been on vinyl before isn't out of this world. Christ, the reissue of Superunknown was half that for a 2 x LP. Still, I think it wil be on par with the other 2 x LP records that have been reissued. I shudder to think what Machina will be though.

It should be similar to Siamese Dream and Pisces Iscariot since it will only be a 2 x LP.

Wow dude.

Contacted them again. I told them that some people were getting $15 gift cards or even allowed to purchase from the Marketplace with reimbursement from Amazon. While I was completely polite and understanding, all I could get was a guarantee that if and when Amazon gets some in, I will be notified and allowed to purchase it for $5.99. Better than nothing, I guess.

Anyone else notice that all of the deluxe box sets are sold out on the Zuzu store? It'd be nice if they posted pricing for everything else.

I don't really prefer the rough mixes because they sound flat as shit. That one little guitar effect in People Forget should've stayed though. Honestly, I love the songs. I wasn't expecting Volta, especially after hearing the rough mixes. I think the record is a solid 70s pop-tinged rock record and it's pretty rad to hear those guys venture off into this style of music. But I completely agree that the whole thing is a giant mass of unprofessional bullshit. They promised an early release for people who preordered. Some got it, most didn't. Then they said the record would release on the 15th, it didn't. That's fine, but you should explain why it didn't even if you can indulge in all of the details. Say "guys, we've got some great things in store for you, sit tight!" Instead we get Cedric saying "people are asking about the Antemasque record, you should go outside instead" or whatever. In the time it took to tweet that, he could've said something fucking productive. Rather than hype the record up a little more, people are just pissed off and the press has forgotten about it already. That's weak shit.

Yeah, sorry about this thread...

I say Ipecac only because Le Butcherettes were just picked up by them. It would explain the complete radio silence though. Nice point about Juan/Deltron, but apparently there's some drama between him and Omar, so most people (Comatorium people) are saying it's not Juan. I hope it is though. And yeah, that "final" mix was blown the fuck out. It's so noticeably loud I don't think I want to hear it on vinyl to be honest. Matt, the guy who mixed it, was making excuses about, specifically, the flubs in People Forget and how crazy gate/limiter issues were a trade off to having "huge toms" but I don't buy it. I think it was pretty sloppy and I hope it's being remixed because those bizarre cuts and releases of cymbals is amateur hour shit.

The only thing we've heard from any official source was earlier this week when the drummer said to "be patient, something was in the works" Some people think they were scooped up by a bigger label (Ipecac) and everything is on hold until they can release the album. A lot of people were complaining about the final mix, so there's speculation that the mix is being redone as well.

Now the order has disappeared from my history and doesn't even show up in the Canceled Orders section. A CS rep said that even if they start selling the record through Amazon, they can't guarantee the $5.99 price, but can upgrade to free 1 day shipping... like I give a fuck about that.

Edit: Fuck. Got the email.

It's strange that a bunch of people got cancellation emails today after I spoke with a rep that said they'd be getting more in. I'm wondering if I'm going to get one of those emails now?

Clutch just posted this to their Facebook. $15 is a damn good price. http://www.emeticrecords.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CLU-JR-LP

It looks like this is back up for preorder on SRC. http://www.shopradiocast.com/products/Minus-The-Bear-%252d-Planet-of-Ice-2XLP.html

I just chatted with Amazon and I was told that the LP would ship out to me on August 22. So it sounds like they'll be getting more in.

Triple Crown just posted a video to their Instagram of the test press playing. They did that with the Dear Hunter represses and it couldn't have been a week until they went up for preorder. Hopefully we'll see this soon.

Goddamn, that was amazing.

Looks like the preorders will be through PledgeMusic. http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/weezer They're offering a new Fan Club with annual physical releases, personalized prints, and a bunch of other stuff.

The page is still up though. http://www.shopradiocast.com/products/Minus-The-Bear-%252d-Planet-of-Ice-2XLP.html

Pretend You're Alive is being pressed. According to their Facebook, it should be out fairly soon.

It really wasn't meant to be. I knew they only listed the 1,000 purple and not the other 2 variants. SRC also blew through about 900 copies of Deloused in the Comatorium in less than two days, so it's not entirely out of the question.

Right now on SRC it says it's unavailable and to check back later.

I just thought they sold out really fast.

I agree. I know they're doing it all on their own, but I really can't justify doubling the cost due to shipping. I really want to support these dudes, but the prices are killing me.
