I would not ever bet money that a Kickstarter product will exist within 12 months but I agree with the sentiment. "Limited to one copy" Back to CDs I go

The more you know! I kind of prefer the cover variants....

I have the Era Vulgaris 10" and it is complete garbage. I've always skipped the "Rated X" pressing of R because word has always been that it's even worse.

I wonder if these are all Bernie Grundman masters like VMP? Cautiously optimistic on sound quality

I very recently decided to buy fewer records to save money, so for this and Songs for the Deaf you are all welcome. Black retail version for sure. Hope it’s a good master

Century Media had a smoke variant but it looks like it's gone now. I don't know about you other 12 Leprous fans in the world but this new Celine Dion single has really been growing on me throughout the day. What kind of masochist writes vocal lines like this and From the Flame?

I’d like to wait for a US preorder but iirc that never happened for Malina. Oh well white it is! I love that they include CDs too

So there’s a new album by this old band Tool coming out tomorrow with a $45 cd I can’t wait to laugh at the 4LP price. I wonder if it will have a 10x10 screen in the gatefold?

You’ll have to set your turntable’s speed to the Fibonacci Sequence to properly play this back

been thinking about this for the past year or so. Between moving all the time and the insane prices, it's hard to keep up with it all. I've also been rebuilding my CD collection for dirt cheap since I sold most of them years ago. I basically cut back to getting things that are either A. mastered well or B. super important to me. One day maybe the industry will wise up and release dynamic masters digitally ($50 box set each I'm sure) but I'm not interested in waiting for that. "Hi res" digital audio 24/96 etc is more of a scam than digital vinyl masters (except the HDTracks release of Deftone's Koi No Yokan!). At the end of the day, being a music collector is suffering. The big hipster vinyl resurgence is also cool because regular old folks are interested in music again for the first time since Guitar Hero 2 came out.

Brand New fans merely adopted the Tool posting; Tool fans were born in it, moulded by it. I didn't see a positive comment until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding

I have been anticipating this complaining for 13 years! The nostalgia begins! Thank you

I hope they don’t split Asleep/Awake on a Train like the reissue version I have. I’d buy it for that transition alone

The Fever 333 made nu metal acceptable again because Prophets of Rage turned RATM into "dad rock". Synthpop revival is getting tired, people are constantly angry (an election year no less!). You'll be seeing Supreme JNCOs by 2021.

nu metal is unironically back mark my words This sounds like another formulaic radio rock album like the last two, shame. One day I hope they do more wild dumb stuff like the dubstep record

Does anybody who has an OP have any insight on the mastering? This was an instabuy but I worry about a repeat of the De Loused situation when it comes to the sound.

I bought one of these in April because I was jealous of this thread’s agony. So I apologize for the new delay I guess

Brutus - Nest Jambinai - ONDA Baroness - Gold & Gray (fight me irl) Periphery - Periphery IV Sidewalks & Skeletons - Entity Holly Herndon - Proto Apparat - LP5 Schrodinger's pick: Tool Very likely that the second half of this year wipes out the first for me. Chelsea Wolfe, Blanck Mass, Russian Circles, Alcest. Exciting times

Grabbed this one, but it's kind of a shame they're doing another red variant. I have 2 out of the last 3 of her records on red already.

Such a lopsided box set in quality, Retinal Circus and ZTO are must haves. Bothers me that the Royal Albert Hall show is split between boxes...

Nice! That's pretty much what I was expecting. Honestly in the 4 years (ouch) since Purple, I've just grown used to the production issues and I still enjoy that record a lot. I'm glad they didn't retread it. Cold Blooded Angels is top notch.

Does anybody have a physical copy yet? I remember Purple actually had a slightly better sound on LP so I’m hopeful this one might too

This could use a few more solid hooks a la Yellow & Green, but overall I liked it. Very positive music which is probably why people will constantly bitch about them on the internet as they've been doing since 2012. That said, the production is a travesty and really kicks the whole thing down a notch. Shame

Rough Trade presumably

holy shit thank you
