I couldn't agree with this more. How a legitimate Zelda release still hasn't seen the light of day, is beyond me. 

No.

It could be that while some of us do care about "sound fidelity" we don't want to stand up four times while listening to one release. It's all theory, right now, about how much better the 45 rpm will sound in comparison to the 33 1/3. If there is a marked difference in sound quality, I will probably end up kicking down for the double. Until then, I am thinking I'll be fine listening to my pretty, colored records, sitting on the couch and reading the lyric sheet.

better than anything on 'shelter' by a mile, but not as good as anything else from their past. will have to see how the rest of the album turns out, but likely won't be ordering it.

I almost always end up buying every single album Deathwish releases every year - I need a subscription service haha

The new track is A-MAZING. I was not expecting something that good, even though I love previous materials of Oathbreaker. I will place an order tomorrow.

I don't understand why they do this Bonus-CD-with-only-1-song thing...  The "Shelter" bonus track "Into The Waves" is one of my favorite songs, but they didn't include it in the regular album.  I just don't get why they do this, it seems kind of dumb to me.  Why not just put the extra song on the regular CD, even if you only release it in Japan, for instance?

Still wondering why there isn't an option to order this at a Euro distro

Useless thread

Record is the wackest of wack. And I have been a fan of this band for almost 20 goddamn years.

In 30 years, all of our Hot Topic splatters will dissolve in their frames.

What surprises me in this that on some level is that it's a small marketing/PR miss on TDE/KL's behalf.  Where are the Instagram/Facebook photos of him signing the thousands of the CDs & vinyl?  If it's legit, why not have fun with it and promote that he's doing it?  It promotes him, the album, strengthens KL's image of integrity, maybe catches a few music blogs attention, etc.  Basically keeps him in the news on a positive front while promoting his music/brand.
 
Clearly looking too deeply into this as I'm still changing the bandages on my butt hurt.

Pretty much the beginning...That way you can see the band evolve and than start to decline

Shit post is shit.

Hey kids, long-time lurker, first-time poster...just wanted to mention how awesome this thing is.  Here's a (poorly-lit) photo of the whole thing:

 
I love what they did with the artwork...having the washed-out type covers on each LP, and then all of the original full-size art  and liner notes in the book.  Unfortunately, I have the same issue as everyone else - The A side of Sovereign has the A side of Silver in Blood instead.  I just emailed about it today, so we'll see what happens.  I noticed that the matrix codes are the same, so I assume they just used the wrong stamper when pressing.  Also, had a small seam split on Times of Grace (you can sort of see it in the picture) which, given the size and weight of this thing, I certainly won't worry about, and also had a bit of glue on the edge of the Given to the Rising CD, but was able to wipe it off and it seems to work fine.
 
On the whole, I'm really happy with this - everything sounds great, and now I just need to get a frame for the print!

Thanks for the support people.
No plans to ever revisit the recordings of JD, NH ATF, AWLWLB, etc.
Fun fact, the main reason we were compelled to remix/remaster "Petitioning..." and "When Forever..." was that EVR lost the original packaging and audio files for both those releases. As a band we've recently taken steps to digitally archive a lot of our catalog that was on tape that was degrading. Hopefully that sort of situation will never happen again.

Thanks for the support everyone.
This project has been a long time coming. Kurt really did a stellar job on the remixing. We never talked about it publicly, but we had some serious hurdles during the original mix session. The power kept going out on the block for hours at a time. Essentially killing our progress each day. It eventually was finished, but we always wish we had more time with it.

It's $23.99, not $30. Just buy a couple other things and get free shipping. Or just keep bitching.

16 year old kid told me that the screaming hurt his ears.

i think, generally speaking, panopticon is probably the favorite of their discography. the production is perfect, the sound is generally accessible, and despite being a slow burn for the most part the payoffs are huge. in some ways it's one of their more inaccessible albums but usually that is the one i hear people say is their favorite. 
 
and so when you think of ITAOT, it is kind of an anomaly in their discography, it has a sound they never really did again with all the shard-like delayed guitars and songs that really felt like songs, as opposed to, i don't know, movements on an album (which is definitely the case for Panopticon, most of all). while i would encourage gumbo to return to panopticon again (and again and again and again) i can definitely see how ITAOT is pretty unique in their discography, and it is a very engaging album from the first listen. 
 
when it came out i thought it was for sure their best album, especially after Dulcinea being the lead single (and that song really is the perfect blend of more "song" oriented isis while still retaining their usual textures and heaviness.... but man those 7 minutes fly by). 
 
i'm not bashing anyone's opinion or anything, just sharing my love of the band, but man Panopticon really is such a perfect album. i think it still, to this day, has the best production of any ISIS album, ITAOT is a close second but when you put Panopticon on and just crank it that album washes over you like nothing else. 
 
altered course is probably my favorite on it, that song is such a great example of a different facet of their sound that they do amazingly. the whole album is mindblowing though, especially when listened through. 

Got my copy of Streets of Rage 2 today and Data Discs really knocked it out of the park - packaging and sound are both top notch. Really wish all OST releases were of the quality that Data Discs and Brave Wave have set.

So happy to get The Eye. It is one of my favorite Neurosis albums. That price was a little painful, but silver and limited to 300 is how I'm justifying the purchase.

Understandable.  I'm pretty surprised by the timing of both of these.  The band's box set definitely conflicts with Relapse's reissues.  The only reason I hadn't ordered the box set is because I had already picked up the ToG and TSiB reissues and knew these most recent ones were being put out as well.

Sweet!  I've been waiting for that ASTNS repress for a long time!  Now I just need Given...

I've said this shit so much. These kids are babies thinking they have superior tastes and know everything "good"
