SNEAKORDS

kind of insane that they added a throttle queue, didn't even get to checkout to see what shipping might have been to canada

like most people, a spin clean. however, I took a gamble and backed an "ultrasonic record cleaner" kickstarter, for $150US I'm not expecting much but it's not much to risk so why not. we'll see if they actually ship on time and if it works.

I just want the standard record on a single LP, I can do without all the demos and bsides and stuff

jesus, $56 + $33 shipping (canadian).

I still remember how sliky smooth the booklet paper for the CD was, a premium feel compared to other albums. I hope the jacket for this doesn't skimp on the materials.

the 604 shop just sent me a refund for the LP... but it's still up for sale.

they really put a lot of effort into the joke, I'll give them that

god damn this is good

I saw that tour when they hit the croatian cultural center in vancouver (RIP to a classic venue, they no longer do shows). Snapcase got stuck at the border and was like 2+ hours late, so they entertained the hardcore kids with a singalong of Sweet Caroline etc while waiting for Snapcase to get to the venue and rush to set up.

Saw these guys open for Angel Du$t last month and really dug it, live they came off a lot like Helmet IMO, although the recorded stuff I've heard sounds more like nu-Silverchair. I was a bit pissed when I got home after the show, where I thought I had bought an LP only to find I spend $20 on a single sided 12" with three songs though. *listening to System (Failing) right now and it totally has Helmet vibes on everything but the vocals.

I just want a normal single LP release, or a double LP with some bonus tracks or something. It's insane that Dischord can do their box set for under $70 shipped, have an actual reason to make it multiple discs AND throw in a bonus 7" and they're charing $110+shipping for a single album.

yeah, I ordered one for my friend and one for myself, his showed up yesterday and mine came today. haven't had a chance to play it yet but the jacket is pretty cheap and flimsy. the booklet is a nice addition I guess.

oh wtf. they didn't post on twitter at all, and I can no longer find notification settings on their instagram profile. or any profile for that matter.

11+ months later the newbury varient finally shows up, reality vs expectation is hilarious as usual

werid that there's no superunknown if they're doing all the other albums. also, I share a birthday with chris, nice, I wasn't aware.

https://stores.portmerch.com/archersofloaf/pre-order-reason-in-decline.html We here at Team Loaf have been talking about the possibility of a new album from our underdog heroes for almost a decade now, and it only took a worldwide pandemic and tangible threats to our democratic institutions to jumpstart the chemistry within the band that we've been trying to capture in new recordings for the last 10 years. We could not be more excited and pleased to announce that on October 21, 2022, Merge Records will be releasing our first full album-length creation in 24 years entitled "Reason in Decline" onto the generally unsuspecting masses. If "Raleigh Days" was written and recorded to satisfy every Archers of Loaf fan's sweet tooth with an energy and hooks from days of yore, and "Talking Over Talk" b/w "Cruel Reminder" was written and recorded to experiment with some ideas of where a new Archers of Loaf album might develop before the world flipped on its head, then "In the Surface Noise," the first single off the new album, recalls the anthemic "us against the world" conflict prevalent on "Vee Vee," written through the lens of these modern chaotic times. There's an urgency in the new album properly reflective of the current era, while simultaneously addressing ageless flaws in our humanity. Yeah, I know that's a lot of hyperbole to propose when the album won't be available for another 3 months for you to hear for yourself, but I haven't been able to talk about this thing publicly for like 9 months and I'm excited. Quick shout out to our friends, Adam and Alex at Drop of Sun Studios in Asheville, NC, who helped produce this new album for us, and to our ol' pal Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service for adding the final touches to the mix.

does UO not charge until orders ship? I preordered ST on June 24th, the charge still hasn't posted.

holy shit, shipping to canada is $8? that's unheard of. I'll take it.

no I'm saying that the new pressing that is sold out was restocking a couple copies multiple times and it would sell out again. I had Distill Web Monitor for chrome monitoring the page and it was pinging like crazy, I was able to get a copy. You just have to monitor the page to catch the restock if it happens.

This is actually restocking but you have to be quick, it said that there was one copy and I was able to check out, distillmonitor is going crazy pinging the page right now

dammit

lol just got an email from newbury saying it's been pushed back to august 5th. this might be a longer than the wait for deafheaven's last album.

You sound like the type of person that eats 90% of their meal and the demands the manager comps the entire bill because it was the wrong order & you think that you're "sticking it to the restaurant" because they underpay their staff. If you said something from the start, hell, even a couple months after getting it and not being happy with is, sure, ask for a replacement or a refund, I totally support that. but waiting years for something better to come out and expecting it to get it for free is bullshit.

Get real. You can't buy pants in 1972 and then return them to sears today because they're itchy (also not sure if sears still exists). Things have a finite warranty and it's ridiculous to think that any business could stay open if they just gave away new product if someone has a complaint and sat on it for a decade. You dropped the ball, the label owes you nothing. Stop being a karen.

I just realized that I could really go for Human Waste Project - E-Lux being pressed
