highfives

It’s usually a good sign when they have actual product shots and not just mockups. It’s pretty rare these days. It’s also kind of surprising given this band is dormant, they only did 500, and it’s a first time pressing.

Good luck! I'm hoping for represses because the secondary market for these is bonkers.

I had one loaded in my cart with Media Mail selected, went back and it forced me to choose shipping with UPS Ground being the cheapest at $15.

Did MerchNow just remove Media Mail as a shipping option?

Listing for purple/white says /250

We just need Hell Below!

It’s gonna be interesting to hear the Robinson Terry Date influence on this one. I’m in for whatever versions they’ve got in store. Same for Black Stallion.

Nabbed an unopened first press of Pearl Jam Ten for $25 a few years ago. Got a copy of NIN The Slip from my local shop for $15 about 2 years ago. Got a complete copy of Mars Volta Noctourniquet for $25 about a year ago (going for over $100). Got a new copy of one of the more recent White Album reissues for $1. Bought one of the 3xLP Nirvana In Utero Anniversary reissues and they sent me two, so I sold the second one.

Represses of Down Through and Anymore drop tomorrow.

The black Popaganda is down to $25. Decadence is $15. Probably the lowest we'll see buying them new. https://merchnow.com/catalogs/head-automatica

At this point, I really feel for anyone who dropped $100+ on Migrant. Goddamn.

Not to sound elitist or however it might come off, but people who've been following the band knew a new album was incoming. The release was a surprise, but between the recent reunion shows and Matt's living room shows, we knew they were finalizing the record for a while. That being said, I was super surprised to see them drop it unannounced.

I'm surprised they didn't try to do the original off-white/creme idea since the original is a factory mistake. Also bummed they skipped out on the Annex. It's all I need.

I need to sit down with this and listen all the way through.

Blindly ordered this and will dive in in the morning when I get to a reasonable listening spot. But it’s awesome to hear initial positive takes on it.

If this is the “Definitive” version of the score, I really, really hope they drop Year Zero at the same time. I’m all for a Social Network reissue, surprise drops, and all that, but that shit has been “coming soon” on the store for years...

Just got the cancel email as well. Hopefully we’ll see it pop up on the NIN store.

Available on milky clear w/ pink splatter or orange w/ turquoise splatter (both out of 150). Shipping in August. https://athousandarms.store/products/the-american-dollar-lofi-dimensions-lp?variant=32387485761617

Gonna be all over whatever deluxe reissue they release.

https://thiswilldestroyyou.bandcamp.com/album/vespertine Surprisingly ambient, but given the context, I get it. So far, I dig it.

It doesn't even make sense conceptually. Part 1 has the tape sprawled out and it goes onto the reel more in Part 2 and is almost fully on the reel for Part 3. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

I think Act IV is stronger than Act III, but V definitely suffers from story telling fatigue and what seems like trying to finish the story rather than making a great record. There are great moments on it, but the pacing suffers and as a musical album is takes a backseat to the storytelling. Act I & II were the best blend of awesome songs and creating a world with storytelling. Act III, for me, suffers the same fate as Act V. I think it’s weird as hell these are all black and white. TCR said something like “we only had CD art for I and II, they’ve never been LPs” but that still isn’t a good excuse for marketing them as the original artwork when it’s not the original artwork.

Is there anywhere to listen to this?

Looks like the PO is coming soon. Due out 6/23 - 2 x LP. This Will Destroy You “Vespertine:” available on all digital service providers and compact disc on June 9, 2020. 2xLP vinyl available June 23, 2020.

Dude from the label said they’re working on a repress of Anymore.
