Wow, this rules. Definitely need to pick it up.

I really don't think the abundance of clean vocals should be surprising. They've been going that way for the last 12+ years. The greater problem, in my mind, is the music itself. Without Jesper, the music just feels uninspired. Not to mention that Niclas' riffs make this sound like the Passenger album he did with Anders, or his other band Engel. They've really lost even the shell of what they used to be. Edit: Also, I'm not saying his clean vocals are well executed either. They're definitely excessively whiny, as many reviews have pointed out.

Same here. It sucks, because the pressings easiest to track down are picture discs. For some albums (Clayman), that's all that exists.

They do. Even if you place separate orders, it seems. Given the free shipping, it's hard to complain though.

They had the 2014 version up a couple weeks back. I placed an order for it on 8/25. But yeah, I believe the only other pressing is the original from '98.

Definitely going to jump on this soon as well. I really enjoy this album and will gladly support Shels in all their incarnations/label's projects.

It's actually cheaper to get the starburst from SRC as well, given the 2.99 pre-order shipping discount.

Both of those companies are pretty easy with returns, and you can tell what version you have without opening it up to check. Wouldn't hurt to try.

Apparently Heiress will be releasing their sophomore album Of Great Sorrow through Mylene on November 18th. The band features the vocalist of Himsa as well as several other hardcore/metalcore alum. There's a new song track posted over at Noisey; it sounds pretty great. http://noisey.vice.com/blog/heiress-get-epic-with-new-streaming-track-hover

So, have these begun shipping/will they ship soon? Or will KingsRoad be giving us another long-winded explanation of why they don't have something?

They seem to take items down after they're out of stock. They might have more slightly after the release date though. The same thing happened with Glassjaw; although I think a lot of their stock was replenished from people canceling orders after the whole Amazon fiasco.

Also, I ordered Glassjaw - W&T a week ago and haven't heard anything. It might be because they're waiting to ship it with Follow the Leader, but they were ordered a few days apart.

They had Follow the Leader up a few weeks ago. I placed an order for it. But yeah, it looks to be down now and it's not released until next Monday, the 15th.

Didn't want to post this on the main forum since there isn't any PO information -- and likely won't be for awhile, but this album is finally getting pressed early next year! Looks like they're now signed to Spinefarm. http://spinefarmrecords.com/gb/newsitem/sikth-announce-uk-tour-promo-vid From the link:

Once I selected a shipping address it dropped the item cost to £16.66.

Yep, I'd save $10 importing these. Total comes to $61.02 for both.

For some reason I was thinking this originally went up for PO in March; nope. Just checked my receipt, January 16th. This is some Mightier Than Sword shit.

Well, the $80 is to Canada. Either way, the combined shipping for these two is ridiculous.

To me, it's the shipping that's more ridiculously priced than anything. Hoping the price is comparable on Amazon so it'll even out with the free shipping.

Totally not seeing the pressing numbers. I'm probably blind, but where are you guys seeing those? The only number I'm seeing is for the 2x10" set. Edit: Nevermind, I am blind. It's on the image. I was looking everywhere on the listing page and that totally went over my head.

I'd swap my white for the green/black if you'd like. Not sure if you're getting it shipped internationally though; it probably wouldn't be worth it on either of our ends to trade overseas.

Yeah, Daytrader unfortunately disbanded. Tym (their vocalist) is in Some Stranger. Their EP is pretty fantastic; you can grab it for free at Bandcamp. http://somestranger.bandcamp.com/ Heartless Breakers is Matt's (their guitarist's) new band. Also pretty solid. The main reason I loved Daytrader was Tym's voice, so I'm obviously more sold on Some Stranger.

Yeah, totally thought this was going up at 10:00 CST, not EST. Oh well, glad I was still able to get the "3D" variant. I was hesitant about the cost of the glow-in-the-dark one anyways.

Love this band! Really hope this goes up on the US Season of Mist shop.

That's double the PPD cost, which is pretty terrible. I don't condone that at all. I'll still gladly offer my white up for a trade to anyone with a green/black.
