Correct, correct and correct. I spent a fair amount of time with NFG during my AP days; I even wrote a cover story on the band in 2011. I considered some members of that band to be friends of mine, though that number has dwindled over the years. I do believe Steve showed poor judgment and got absolutely railroaded for it due to the public perception of the scene at large at that time (this all happened shortly after Ian Watkins from Lostprophets was arrested for being an actual pedophile who was abusing an infant).
Remember, there is always more to the story than what makes it out to the internet.

I don't think you actually know what happened, but okay.

It's crazy to me how on these recent reissues they've completely erased Steve from the artwork/liner notes/song credits. Like, if you didn't know the band's history and just bought one of these records, you'd assume they were a four-piece when in actuality the guy who wrote 99% of the songs on these reissues has been Thanos-snapped out of existence.

Looks like another variant exists...no idea where though

I genuinely appreciate your profile pic/username update significantly more than this record.

Apparently they’re just arriving.  My buddy got his in today too.  Hoping mine isn’t far behind.

Swirl variant just came. Press looks really nice, glow in the dark cover is very cool, artwork treatment throughout is nice and high quality. Wish it was a gatefold but otherwise very satisfied with this one. 

Release date is 11/05 and they’ve posted actual photos (no mockups) so hopefully the NFG store orders ship soon!

band announced Catalyst is getting a vinyl release finally

Soulseek

I kinda like the artwork.  Has a 60s Italian b-movie vibe.

Just when I think we've reached the peak of vinyl, a $30 two song 7" drops.

NFG FTSTYS Part II tomorrow at 11am EST.  Updated artwork and bundles.  Definitely will pick up.  Love the OG artwork more though.
 
I know everyone’s feelings about 10” records, but a double 10” would have been cool to shelve alongside 1 + 3!

Looks like something being announced on Drive-Thru at 1pm EST time today

Song rocks. Cant wait for the whole album

oh it’s tangible alright

These are going up at 10am PST tomorrow with an 11/07 street date.  Pillar members get first dibs two hours prior.
 
LTTW is a double LP w/ Forget December, I Want To Save You (Acoustic) and Konstantine on Side D.  Clear w/ white splatter.
 
North is a single LP and bonus 10” w/ Watch The Sky, This Broken Heart, Unravel (Björk cover) and Space (Live Acoustic).  Red w/ white splatter.
 
Pillar members get a signed lyric booklet for each release.  I signed up for Pillar so I’d nab copies.  I’d rather just standard black for both and no signed booklet, but these things are going to sell like hotcakes.  So 🤷🏻‍♂️

It took seven years for the album.  I think I could get a couple days to update my profile

From Andrew’s Pillar group:
UMG was not supposed to post this yet! They've taken it down for us so as not to compete with Andrew's drop (that was going to be announced to Camp wilderness before anywhere else). We'll be posting again about this (and more) soon!
 

Time to update my username

This! When will the ugly-ass splatter mania dies off?

I cannot tell a lie I wish this was not a silly PN variant release. Still bought a copy to see what’s up.

Will update topic when there is more info, as of now... Holy shit.
