Sounds pretty good for a lathe. So I'm assuming the people who ordered online will get it when they get back from tour?

Read this whole thread to make sure I could still be the one to reveal that the blue was available on Polyvinyl. Darn you record labels with good advertising!!!!

Yeah... don't want to make this thread about me but I do it. I do 30-40 miles a day for work and 60-80 on the weekends. Trains are lies where I live and they "stop at 9" but that means I need to be on a 7 or 8PM train back to my city, which doesn't help for a show... so at some point I just said screw it and went for it. I live "near LA" so I go to local shows in Pomona and then for shows that are in LA or Anaheim like Chain Reaction that I can't convince friends I train out there and bike back. It's relaxing....

And never let transportation stop you either.... I'm still too broke of a college student to get a car so I've gone to 90% of shows on bike. Most annoying thing ever but I'm used to it by now. Either bike the 50-ish miles back that night or I ask to sleep on someones floor and do it in the morning....

You would have to flesh this out a lot more into a legit app. Side note for other programming nerds: gotta love some python! You still in school or already work somewhere?

I'd be in for it, but not at that price like everyone said. I would say $50 at most for just a 3xLP. $20 for the full lengths and $10 for a one sided with B-Side Etching or something. But yeah I really appreciate even the thought.

Yeah I really want to know what really happened. I think I'm like person 13 on the VC forums, so there could be plenty more. And if there really are no duplicate C/D people out there then as someone mentioned, will they try to sell these extra deluxe A/B individually...? The questions keep coming for me.

Got my rainbow in today and went through all the checks. Outer Sleeves...good. Side A/B...good. Lyric Book...perfect. Until... Side A/B again! So I guess I'll be sending one back....hopefully.

I came here to just to congratulate them on being honest about their bundle prices.... $48 for an LP, 7", t-shirt, cassette, Photobook, Poster, and Pin is a stealllll! I hope all the other bands can take a note from that....

Got my shipping notification today.....

I sent some dollars at my boys.... Huge shout out to you guys and Modern-Vinyl, who posted about this thread.

Now that this is out of the way.... I would really like a repress of The Glass Passenger. But hopefully before 2018.....

Should have gone with the black..... this doesn't look bad.... but it definitely is not opaque and will doesn't seem it will actually receive the award of "Prettiest record in my collection"

Don't know how to feel about this..... I like the collection of 4x10"s but it really is a pain to constantly be queuing each 2-3 songs.

Just skim through here once a day or friend all the vinyl nerds on instagram. I heard about it from analog sea on instagram. More difficult than anything is having money for them all haha... which is why I'm so upset about this whole trend of getting a record only with a deluxe package of a tour ($80 total for a 7"?.....pass).

Ez-pass. Really It's only for Leavenhouse since everything else is on the Manton 7". I guess if the artwork is more like the first, then maybe.....

Thanks for alert. It was literally perfect timing. I was about to go into another lecture and then started franticly ordering before class started. Got a green copy. Almost grabbed both, but said no because I'll obviously never have a complete variant collection.....

Eheremmm..... if there is an extra, don't forget about the guy who has never done anything for you..... (me). But seriously, thanks to everyone on VC who's ever helped me find something. Will definitely return the favor if it comes to it. This split sounds too cool to pass up....

Does anyone here plan on going to that show at the Fillmore? I saw this a few minutes too late on Modern Vinyl (4AM) to be correct....

Same as everyone else. Got the RSD version, actually didn't get to play it for a month because my record player had been stolen (I got it back) and wanted to rejoice by playing it, only to find the quality was like a 2.5/10. If it sounds good, maybe.... Related side-note. My ETID RSD 7" sounded great but then I realized the outer sleeve panels weren't even glued down. I ended up gluing it myself. Is Epitaph the new Victory Records?

Hypothesis: "The more I care about a record the more the USPS has the desire to bend the sleeve somehow....." the lower right corner of my sleeve is pretty bad.... I honestly hate that about online pre-orders lately. I want the online variant but I want the ability to make sure my record is going to be alright. There should be insurance for that or something. Does priority shipping even help? Anyways.... got my splatter in so going to spin it today. I was holding off on listening to the album too many times before it came in.

So actually I'm going to differ from everyone who posted earlier. I think this album is actually the one that best flows from start to end. There's a drop in the second half of TGG but I stuck with this through the whole thing. The only song that I don't really like is "Stained Glass Ceilings" because it doesn't have that much movement, just slow and then heavy with Jason's part. "A song for Patsy Cline" is super interesting rhythmically. I like how it's slower for the verses and then very broken between. Somehow the "broken-ness" drags you to the next verse nicely. "A Song for Ernest Hemingway" is probably the most interesting because it just jumps between the slower sung parts and group melodies and fast rock bits. Actually the shortest song on the record minus the Intro/"Outro" At first listen I hated Jason's part in "Stained Glass Ceilings" but the second time around it grew quite a bit on me. It's not supposed to mesh very well. I like how he does go from screaming to a high hum in the same sentence. "You In January" is also super interesting because it's basically a love song, but it's like they avoided the clichés of one by simply telling it from a male perspective. So my shitty review aside, can we talk about themes? The earlier songs seem to indicate an antagonistic approach to religion such as in "I don’t think he even knew your name. I refused to kneel or pray." "This god damn machine; hungry and heartless. My whole generation got lost in the margin. We put our faith in you. You turned a profit. Now we’re drowning here under your waves." and "If these motherfuckers made it to heaven, they’d burn the bridge when they got across." from 'Stained Glass Ceilings' but then at the very end he says "Mom, I want you to know I’m letting everything you taught me guide me home." In the interviews for his Aaron West project he noted that he was raised Catholic and knew a bunch of stuff about it but didn't really practice. So would you say that basically the real theme here is something more like 'Have faith and fight for heaven, but it's not in what pastors teach you.'?

Sorry variant collectors..... although honestly the yellow and green marble variants look really nice.

Yeah... the second half of TGG is so-so. I really like Teenage Parents, Madeline, and I Just Want to Sell Out My Funeral, but the others are kinda just there. What's driving me crazy is that "Thanks For The Ride" is through an unlisted YouTube video so you know theres some intern that's just like "I'll share it whenever my boss says to do it...."

Huh.... I saw them on Warped in Pomona and they wouldn't say anything about the album besides that they were excited for it and that it was produced by the same guy who did the last 2 records (Steve Evetts)..... so what changed?
