I'm just in it for the guitar.

This would all go down a lot smoother if they would have communicated throughout the process, including answering goddamned emails

This would all go down a lot smoother if there weren't literally hundreds of other indie labels releasing literally thousands of other records in this same timeframe and not running into any of these issues.

I know right? Such bullshit. How about something that benefits everyone that pre-ordered rather than a random draw that I'm not going to win.  
This on the same day I contacted my CC company. Like literally 1/2 hr before this email, not that that changes anything.

Mother fucker, don't give us a sob story about maxing out credit lines and such, and then dangle a 1000 dollar guitar in front of everyone. I just want my record. 

I've also received mine and I'm happy to say it's flawless in every way. Really happy and relieved to finally own these on vinyl too.
Here's hoping for a reissue of the debut album and ep.

Got mine earlier this week... Had a full play through yesterday evening. Everything looks and sounds fantastic IMHO - no splits in sleeves, no marks / defects on the vinyl... Nothing whatsoever that I could be negative about really (had also read the negatives online from other people).
 
Really nice package, all in all. Hope everyone else has the same experience.

I don't think PayPal existed yet when this preorder went up. 

Got my black / easter yellow this morning... Will be giving it a spin a bit later today.
 
Looks good, although the edit to the description on the Relapse site which states: *Appears Dark Yellow Inside of Easter Yellow* is definitely accurate. It's more of a light-black-grey-yellow-sludge colour, rather than dark black. Personally, I think it still looks fine, but it would have been even better had the black been more vibrant. Just my opinion though

Can't decide if the two tracks on their Bandcamp are off on an amazing new tangent or are just basically trying far too hard to be different.

Instead of waiting, why don't you go to the store and buy yourself a copy. Then we can all read your analphile sound quality assessment. The record sounds great. It tickled my ears like a soft unicorn with rainbows flying out of its ass.

bout that track...
It's good
 

cancelled and swooped the US version yesterday, just got confirmation of cancellation this morning.
that could have been bad but worked out perfectly haha

Turns out the only way to get to the Upside Down in Season 2 is for Winona Ryder to get all 967 variants playing track 3, side B, in perfect synchronisation.

I know this is a bit premature
but fuck..  how good is this?
 
 
can't wait for the new LP.
 
too early for flapjacks?

They'd be great in some type of psych ward scene.

The description of their variant should say, "We just don't fucking know."
 

Admittedly, I haven't been collecting vinyl for THAT long, but I don't think I've seen this many variants for one release before. Almost 20 now, unless I am mistaken?
 
Getting out of control!

i'm going to wait for others to scratch off the cover and see what they say first.
 

Scratch slowly and see.
