I had the massive red mountain castle thing. It was fucking amazing!

I'll say.

Two Juans will enter.

Only Juan will stand.

I doubt these will vanish overnight, so you should have ample time to decide. More power to your Bannon-Completionist side, if you can afford it. But I'm also rooting for the "holidays-are-right-around-the-corner; save-some-cash-to-spend-on-others" side.

The battle rages on.

Shouldn't be more than a week. I'm not entirely sure how the process works, but I'm pretty sure they like to verify that everyone has their appropriate orders before putting up the rest for selection. That was the case for Jane Doe, at least.

Definitely owned this at one point.

Blanketbyday also has the right idea. Doom Castle was is all kinds of legit.

Decisions, decisions... wish I could go for all three, but I've got to be realistic.

The burlesque blue looks amazing (and it doesn't help that it's the more limited of the three). But I feel like the Green Tea captures the essence of the album, more, given that it uses the same colors.

I think a coin needs to be flipped.

A bit of a better compare and contrast, for anyone who hasn't seen it.

That looks bad ass!

Reminds me of Circa Survive Juturna repress.

Exactly.

Thanks for the photo Akross. Looks gorgeous... though I can't say I expected anything less. Can't wait for it to show up.

No numbers I could find, but you may want to check here for a few others options. Otherwise, I'd recommend messaging Tre or Jake.

*edit*

One more vote to see some pics, if anyone has the time. I seem to receive my Deathwish orders later than everyone else, and I'm pretty stoked to see how the package and vinyl turned out.

They're sold out, unfortunately. The remaining two variants can be found here.

first listen i didnt think it was that great, now after about 7 or 8 listens i think its pretty awesome. some super catchy fun stuff on there.

My sentiments exactly. Homesick helped me realize that ADTR can write immensely great hooks and choruses, and that their "hardcore" breakdowns are laughably bad. They've always made me feel like I was listening to a band who wasn't taking themselves too seriously... which is alright, don't get me wrong. But even if WSMFY is much more poppy and "mainstream", I respect it significantly more. Just feels like they're playing with the cards that suit them best.

I recently picked up a brand new copy of Explosions in the Sky "All of a Sudden, I Miss Everyone" and am amazed at the horrible sound quality. I couldn't even make it to Side B considering the atrocious static and annoying over-the-top crackling. I have absolutely no problem with any of my other records, so i know it's not my needle or my arm needing adjusted. Was just wondering if anyone else has a copy of this record and experience the same type of sound issues? Or just what the hell is going on with my record? Thanks.

I've had the worst luck with this record as well. Side D is practically unplayable.

it was playful sarcasm.

Ditto. Congrats on getting your hands on that record... the lack of an insert hardly seems like an issue given how rare (and awesome) it is.

Totally not buying Retro's copy if he decides to sell it.

180 g. as much as i love colour vinyl, had to go with the flipability for this one.

Nope. Dude was on top of his shit.

Apparently.

Agreed. It's nice to finally put those theories to rest. I wonder if anyone managed to flip a white NH for a ridiculous price.

I'm surprised no one ended up with a gray (marble?) YFM, too.

White No Heroes and gray You Fail Me LPs are currently up at Kingsroad.

I was able to get a copy of A&B..got the email confirm and everything...i guess we just got lucky.

It screwed me out of Don't Die because I was trying to get the No Trigger 7" at the same time.

That's beyond rough. I'm pretty sure that if I had taken the time to attempt to add anything else to my cart, I would have been locked out as well. It'll be interesting to see how smooth (or not) things go at 07 pm EST.

I must have just barely squeezed an order through - anyone else have any luck? The site was initially a little slow around noon, but I blitzed one copy of Don't Die without any snags. Hope they get it back up and running sooner than later, for everyone else.

I j ust bought one so keep trying. I'm going to attempt a second purchase to sell extras at cost for people here.

As in, there wasn't the "This item is currently out of stock" text on the page? But an actual purchase / add-to-cart button? Interesting.

This hasn't happened with any of the previous 7"s, has it? My only theory (hope?) is that they're being added into the store as we speak, and are slowly "registering" with the system... and thus unavailable for a few minutes.

But I've never seen this happen with any other Merchdirect release...

And I think your speculation is sadly plausible, gkersey.

And they're up.

EDIT

Albeit out of stock.

Great.

I'm checking frequently, myself. I know a lot of people who will be thrown off or completely unavailable to make this purchase, if it goes up within the next 30 minutes or so. I'll buy an extra for anyone on this board who's sleeping / working when they go live.

ugh. missed this one too

Pretty sure you didn't actually miss it. I'm willing to bet it was a hiccup on Merchdirect's part. Figure that Natural Born Farmers took 40+ minutes (or more? I wasn't keeping count) to sell out, and that was with a release date planned in advance. I highly doubt this spur-of-the-moment 7" would sell out in four minutes.

They're not even appearing, at the moment...?

At least the others remained in the store even when they were sold out. If I can't snag one, I'd love to buy one off you, astrangerwithcandy. Willing to pay extra.

While it's not a particular listing, I think it's crazy that the eBay user Hooskies has sold three copies of the You Fail Me silkscreen edition. With a fourth one in a current auction.

So much for the whole "limit 1 per customer" rule. Fuck people.
