Yeah, I think it's out of stock. Bummer. Sucks US got shafted on these variants. Who even likes opaque blue/red?

Yeah, that one! How would that work though? Like it gets to you and you ship 'em out all out once you get them? Don't wanna cause too much trouble but man, this record is lovely.

Hey I'm mad late to the party (don't frequent VC much) but is there anyway to get the green/grey smash to the US without paying too much? Legitimately hate all the other variants and would like to get a non-black copy if I could.

I found out about this LITERALLY the day after my birthday code stopped working. Don't want to drop $30 on a poor quality record but I still want this. Anyway there'll be a Labor Day code to bring this down a bit?

the note he left on facebook may convince you otherwise. Absolutely nothing unreasonable about this breakup

how is the packaging? Any differences/insert?

are they trying to appease the people who spent $40 odd on the og? Because this is not how you do that.

can they just have one pressing of this without some dumb shit happening?

Listening to my clear now. I low key think this is a better record than Devil and God. Chorus of Empire could have been on TDAG though, reminds me of an Archers esque track.

probably because both are perfect albums and dwell on a lot of spiritual existential questions.

that and HoHW. I just want it to be good.

it's all about that shitty OG press street cred. right? Because I'm totally skipping on this and hoping I don't regret it later.

mine didn't thud, but it sounded just kinda fuzzy in general.

tempted to swap my clear out for a black but idk. Other colors don't fit it at all imo

pleas tell me you mean HoHW. GREEN OR BLACK? HMMM...

I have the swirl ish one from EU. Not really digging it aside from a few tracks but still unsure on selling it. Played once, kept the sleeve in shrink. What were you thinking of paying for it, in case I sell?

Great to hear! Are you allowed to share any details on potential release date or pressing numbers?

Gotta say I agree with all of this. As disappointed as I was with a few aspects of the CSN press, I'm super glad to have what may very well be my favorite album of all time on vinyl. And having another one of my top 15 favorites with Hell or High Water coming out is very important. I just really hope it's not on white and that some of those other details get sorted out!

So glad to hear about Gates! Ties together the whole album so incredibly well. Anyway, my biggest complaint was the holes in the center (don't know the technical term, sorry) were too small to fit the record on two of my players and my roommates'. I did eventually get around to playing it, and it came up sounding somewhat lackluster, but that may because I had to use my less-than-stellar player, so if you think the TPs sound good, then I'll be very content! The lack of an insert or much else than "thanks" section for CNS was a little disappointing as well, but I don't know how the HoHW artwork could be expanded because there wasn't much with the CD. I sent an email to Solid State about some of my qualms, so this isn't totally just me whining. Also shipping it in shrink wrap/sleeve would be good, my jacket came a little rugged, which doesn't really bother me, but that's really unusual, especially for the high price tag.

Realllllllllly hope I don't miss that Hell Or High Water press, that album is a must-have. I just hope they handle the pressing better, and throw Gates and Aerials on there too.

This exactly. Very clear, no distortion towards the inner grooves, but nothing popped out a lot. 8/10, get stoked for it!

Looks great! Mine's supposed to come in today. Very excited. Love the "Fuck That Shit"

Absolutely, his designs are awesome and Fear Before was the best.

Weird, my Amazon order says it's not coming for another 10-11 days now. Bummer. Hope that changes.

I ordered the purple Sunday night and got it today. That was a lot sooner than I thought, and it looks incredible! Can't wait to spin this, wow.
