Ditto re: still receiving emails; cancelled mine and got a full refund from my bank (though, given his other business skills (or distinct lack of), I suppose it's a bit much to ask for him keep distro lists up-to-date!). Have contacted the guy multiple times through FB and email - zero replies (unsurprisingly).
 
If the records ever do materialise, it will be beyond miraculous.

Received my signed vinyl on Friday... Sounds awesome, although the green marbling definitely isn't as defined as the pictures make it appear... It still looks really nice though, imho. 
 
Really top album... Worth a listen if you're into this kinda stuff.

Ah! That's no fun - sorry about that! For a second, we considered adding some branding with the band name, logo, etc, but at the end of the day thought it might be cooler to leave them simply as photo prints. I could only imagine the scare that gave you, so sorry for the fright!  :/

It's all good, and I do like the fact that they're actual photos and not cheap prints.  I was on board as soon as I realized I wasn't being blackmailed.

Got mine... Really happy... Thanks for the bonus candy, guys!

Release day bump! Almostttt done packing up pre-orders. Everyone that ordered before March should have their package on the way as of today. Thank you so much for the support on this one! 
 
 

Not if you use PayPal. PP don't tolerate those shenanigans!
 
Any vendor that accepts PP as form a payment for a preorder technically must guarantee the item to be delivered in 20 days from the time the order is placed.  If they don't deliver in time, a PP dispute will always land in the buyer's favor. I've had to use this policy against them twice in the past.
 
Honestly, any PP funds that are being held against a customer and only being converted to "credits" I'd imagine would be a big no-no for PP. Speaking specifically for canceling an item before it's shipped. Some companies try to get around this by saying the order is "processing" and can't be altered, which is obviously BS, and I've also taken those kinds of assholes down before as well.

Hi VCers - vinyl just showed up today. We'll be working as fast as possible to get pre-orders out the door and on your doorstep. There's only two of us, but we aim to have everyone's pre-order shipped by March 31st at the latest. Expect an email with tracking info when that happens. Thanks so much for the support! This is by far the most pre-orders we've ever received, so we're pumped and ready to get it in your hands!

Or bump the existing threads for those albums. If we had a new thread every time an album got repressed this place would be an even bigger dumpster fire than it already is!

That interview makes No Halo hit even harder, god damn.
 
Even if I don't love this album it'll make a good companion piece to the newest Old Gray LP.

should probably make a new thread but cam just posted on instagram represses of Forgettable and Old Gray's An Autobiography are going up at flower girl records tomorrow at 2pm (!)

Bieber and Timberlake at least know how to write catchy pop songs. They are good at their genres. This is pure shit. It's not good for any genre. 

24 Hundred and Nuclear Blast have  had these up for a while as well if you're outside the uk:

I think you're getting people wrong in this thread. I don't see anyone in this thread even hinting they want a new HT/Meteora record, or that Nu-metal sound. Well, I certainly don't. That music is in the past for me and doesn't really resonate with me anymore. But Linkin Park has always managed to make some decent pop-rock songs that I enjoyed to sing along to. Songs like Shadow of the Day, Waiting for the End, Powerless, Final Masquerade etc...I think they're good at making these pop-rock songs, where you can still hear it's Linkin Park. I agree on there is a ton of music out there which is far better, no doubt about it, but stuff like Converge or Deafheaven ain't exactly the music you can walk around and sing along to in your apartment, or well, I can't

Anyways, what is disappointing with this song, in particular, is that you can't really hear it's Linkin Park anymore. I know they can do better than this at least, it seems like not much effort went into it. 

New song/interview

Definitely.
 
There are a few people in this thread that aren't necessarily hyped, but are still optimistic that Linkin Park will be worth checking out 12+ years after they had their moment in the spotlight.  That's fine.  The part I'm curious about - without trying to sound too condescending here - is... why?  Hybrid Theory was basically the coolest new thing in junior high, for me.  Of course.  And I spent a good bit of time with Meteora when it was released, I'll admit it.  But that shit is behind me, personally, and to me it feels like good riddance.  I've also never worn denim shorts or collected Magic: The Gathering cards since then.  There's just so much good music out there that I don't see why you'd hope a band will rehash their glory days for your nostalgia when they're clearly more interested in writing radio butt-rock for Transformer soundtracks.  I'm not preaching what anyone should or shouldn't listen to, but I am saying that some things are definitely better left in the past.

They tried so hard, and got so far. But in the end, it didn't even matter.

Don't disrespect JT like that haha.

I'm just befuddled that anyone in this thread was expecting anything other than pure trash from Linkin Park in 2017.  Like it's blowing my mind right now.

Seriously, wtf was that track?
 
If you hadn't told me it was LP, I'd have thought it was the latest thing from Bieber or Timberlake.
 
FFS guys... Come on... Just come the f*ck on.

Just read this from a UK indie store... Made me laugh, in a depressing sort of way.
 
"...on the week that an astonished world heard that Sleeper had reformed and that Sun Kil Moon had streamed the Worst Album Ever™ we have loads of great releases in that have taken a terrible toll on our reviewing fingers..."
 
Sad, but very true.

Mark is the one who broke me of my collecting OCD. I have at least one copy of everything he has done up to and including Benji. I have come to terms with knowing it will never be complete, because I just can't do the new stuff.
