My Eggdrop showed up today without warning. Never received shipping notification and it wasn't on my USPS informed delivery this morning either. 

I emailed their merch team and go a response saying my order had shipped (similar to yours without notification) and tracking number was provided. Should be here tomorrow

Nice!

My deluxe has not shipped. Gotta agree it's ironic.

Same. Ordered a deluxe copy as well as the egg drop variant through their Observatory website like 10 minutes after it dropped. Still no shipping notification. Yet both variants showed to have arrived last week...so....

I'll say this, i get everyone is behind, backed up, short-staffed, low supply, etc et. I get it, i work in supply chain, so i'm front and center with the industry wide issues. But, with the vinyl delays as they are currently, you'd think the point of posting pictures of in-stock vinyl, would be to infer that there would be no such delays for this release. Yet, here we are. 

Finally got my silver countertop/alt cover bundle in last week and was able to give this a proper spin over the weekend: wow. Keith an Co. really did pull off not only their most ambitious album to date, but their heaviest. Some of these songs, parts, breakdowns, lyrics will for sure be ETID Hall of Famers. 

I will say, I wasn't as enthralled with the second half of the record (after track 11 "The Whip") other than "Distress Rehearsal" (that panic chord breakdown is yummy and then the final breakdown with Keith screaming "all sins absolved" - 🤘). I enjoyed  the last song but it wasn't anything special for me. I think my hopes were high for the album closer because of just how amazing "Map Change" was from Low Teens, so to be fair, I might have been being a bit unrealistic. 

All in all though, a solid 9/10 overall for me. This band seems to do no wrong 🙌

In and out with /100 and PGR /300. Easy peasy. 

Got the /100 and the Smartpunk Exclusive /300 (really liked the blue marble and black splatter look the best out of all the variants)

Do we have pressing numbers? 

Not sure, but I know there's only 69 of the "golden-nugget" variant and 466 of the white left...

Grabbed a copy of the "golden-nugget". Thought that color will look cool with the new alternative album art

All the deets just announced: 

https://www.takethistoheartrecords.com/products/717329-the-swellers-my-everest

Pressing Information

Color in Color (Coke Bottle Clear & White) w/ Black + White Splatter / 100 (PGR + Smartpunk Exclusive)
Blue Marble w/ Black Splatter / 300 (Smartpunk Exclusive)
Half Black/Half Baby Blue w/ White Splatter / 300 (PGR Exclusive)
Ghostly Lemonade / 1500 (VNYL Exclusive)
Half Brown/Half Coke Bottle Clear / 400

Here's the 2 exclusives to PGR & Smartpunk mentioned in tweet: 

Smartpunk has tweeted a few cryptic tweets over the past couple weeks hinting at something "swell" happening soon. Then Nick Diener posted on his Oneder Effects IG story him playing the repress. I messaged him and asked if he had any idea when it would be dropping and he mentioned it should be first week of January when announced. 

So get stoked Swellers fans!! Great album!

True on the offers part. lol @ the deciding they want something after purchase. That's most stores.

Exactly. Some people try and treat Discogs like FB Marketplace. Which as a seller, I'm all for community and being friendly with people. But at the end of the day, sellers are paying income tax in some cases and going through all the work to properly package stuff, ship it out, update orders, leave feedback, etc. It can get to be a damn full-time job. So it's a bit frustrating when someone order something and then puts in a note "Hi - anyway you'd take less and refund me some of the money cuz I need it for bills". Freakin get your money right before placing order bud. 

Sorry for the rant 😅

Did this band just cancel themselves?

It’s all just so crazy. While I agree Keith is irreplaceable within ETID, I’d make a strong argument that each member has their strengths and make up a very unique part of ETIDs sound, with the only exception being the drummer as that’s obviously changed through the years. 
 

Really sad if this is, after their unrelenting 20+ year journey, truly the end…
 

Radical would be a glorious Finale indeed though..

I've been eyeing something like this for that purpose. Front record could even be "now playing."

https://www.etsy.com/listing/859995105/four-piece-vinyl-album-display-rack

Bingo! Exactly what i was thinking. There's several different versions out there, this one seems like good/sturdy choice too. 

My main problem is my entire setup though. I have a couple different 2x4 kallax units across the room, while the TT is in my entertainment center, as I use my Denon amp, speakers, sub, etc as my surround sound setup too...

So not sure exactly where I'd put something like this, but I do like it. Thanks!

None. I listen to everything. I have a separate cube on my shelf of "new records I haven't listened to yet." and work through those first. Eventually everything gets some love.

Same. But that quickly got out of hand when the collection continued to expand.

So I've been mulling around getting a completely separate little stand or something to display new arrivals

Single is great.

it's probably because of covid/ his accident, but damn i'm so glad the single is not full band. The album cover and vibe indicates the full album will be the same which is just perfect. 

It's really really great. Great melody and vocal performance by Chris too. Sometimes his more recent acoustic stuff can sound somewhat raspy/strained. This seemed a bit polished and the backup vocals sounded great. All around great song, hoping for more of this on the rest of the record. 

I'm thinking I'll just get the indie when it comes out in Feb. IMO that's the variant that went best with the cover

New album announced: All The Truth That I Can Tell. February 25, 2022 release date. Pre-order links:

I love when discog comments are like old man ramblings.

 

Anyone getting distortion? Radiohead came to my school, back then I used to like milk warmed up on the radiator, but my friend became lactose intolerant and we always thought he lacked toast and was being tolerant of that. He  went on to become a famous drag queen and my record sounds scratchy towards the end of one track because I have a shonky 1940s tuba attached to a diamond my ex girlfriend gave to me when she ran off with Marc Bolan.

This may be one of the funniest things I've read here in my 8 years on VC

4 songs in but we have to wait until January 14th for the album.

I was VERY concerned about this song due to the feature. But I actually enjoyed it a lot. Dug that final breakdown more than anything so far they've released from the album actually.

Cobra Starship's Hot Mess is the November release.

Hahahaha. The fact that this isn't Viva la Cobra or While the City Sleeps, We Rule the Streets is quite laughable

Sure did - not complaining, rather really stoked they changed it the way they did 

Yea that’s awesome. Means they really took it into consideration instead of jus a sharp cutoff at the lead in part.

Anyone else notice they changed the ending to colossal wreck on the vinyl version to where it doesn’t flow into desperate pleasures like on the digital version?

Didn’t they split the two songs? One on side a the other at beginning of side b?

got my Neon Green copy today.

Got an email late last night that CDs and Splatter variant were slightly delayed but “in-transit” to them. 
 

the “Countertop Silver” variant (the one I pre-ordered) is not even in-transit to them yet but “is expected to depart soon”. Said itd be shipping within the next couple weeks. 😪

unpopular opinion probably but this record is just tooo long. They should have cut a few songs, cause there are bangers on it obviously.

Can definitely see where you’re coming from, and the band has said many times they could’ve and normally would have done that. But after a 5+ year gap they just wanted to give it all to the fans

You know how typical ETIDiots are trying to compare new/current songs to Hot Damn! as some imaginary bar that's set? Well, "Distress Rehearsal" straight up went back to Last Night In Town vibes....jus wowwwwwwwwwwww

The album really is running the gambit of everything we've come to know from them
