in short, they created a cult instead of paying for advertising, hahaha.

I've been involved in the ARG leading up to this, it's been fun. Gerard Butler screamed at us until he was hoarse the other night.

It's important to remember not to spew willfully ignorant bullshit.

Opinions do, science doesn't. Zero tolerance for anyone not taking this seriously.

I really like the early stuff he did with Reznor, and Pale Emperor, payed to see him live before. but fuck him.

IIRC they've said Constance is on the new album, Holy Roller may or may not be, but Rule of Nines and Blessed Be will not be.

I wouldn't be surprised if it included Blessed Be and Rule of Nines at least.

really looking forward to that, personally I dig the tri-colour more

loved this and Puzzle, so down

BUMP

dang, that wasn't there earlier

Source?

I've never had a problem

Would have been nice if there was a bundle option for another press of the EP, but I still snagged that Marble

Yeah I'm into it

huh? You can clearly see in the picture the hole is notably larger than the spindle. if the vinyl itself shrinks/retracts it would make the hole bigger.

I'm guessing without the label as the record cooled it shrunk a little, whereas the label would have helped it hold it's shape better.

Except that no one is on the hook if it doesn't work out. If not enough people buy it, everyone gets a refund, that's handled by Bandcamp automatically. Ala Kickstarter. The shitty thing about Kickstarter for records is that it was always a situation where the album isn't recorded yet, and Kickstarter doesn't do anything except provide the sales platform. So it was up to the artists to arrange everything, price it out, and deal with delays or problems. On top of that it was usually a pre-order of a pre-order, so sometimes people would wait years to receive their product. You give Bandcamp the audio and artwork, they literally handle the rest. It's a much better setup. I'm not super familiar with Qrates but it sounds like it's a similar platform, however Bandcamp has the added advantage of being a music listening/discovery platform that people are already using. It definitely will result in some overpriced LPs, but presumably of albums that wouldn't have otherwise have been pressed. So whatever?

Nah I'm super down for this. I'm really hoping that a lot of back catalogues get pressed because of this service. I get you pay a premium and the quality isn't the best, but it's FINE especially if you just get black vinyl. Out of any other crowd funded pressing options this seems to be the smoothest and most sustainable for everyone involved.

They mentioned why they did it. They pressed it last year but the regular pressing wasn't going to be ready in time for tour, so they got 100 tests to sell at the merch booth. Then regular press ended up arriving in time after all so they didn't need it and they were shelved.

I mean, it's a test pressing, it's expensive for sure but I don't think you understand the definition of the word 'scam'

Since it doesn't list any of the bonus tracks I would assume it's not a 2xLP, but it could just be a lazy description (which judging from their other items is very possible).

DEP is probably the only band that makes me want to double dip every time they repress. I got these years ago and the copies I have sound and look great, but each repress is gorgeous

I think you meant to say pre-?
