Ack. And the last thing this album is for me is a summer album. Haha. I hope the sound quality and packaging is worth the wait, at least.

Wow, that's disappointing. I won't be able to listen to this at home in the winter now =/

So I put the clear on my table and it took me a good 20 minutes to flip it because the spindle hole is so small. I didn't think it'd be this bad. Wow.

I'm gonna jump on it too, but I'm glad I got to spread the awareness to you other folks too. For a band that doesn't seem to care much for capitalism, it feels ironic to not directly support them and instead go through the big-name seller. But hey, it's my $$$$

But yeah, it's splattered. And you get the lowest price guaranteed. Huh...

Whatchu guys know about this right here though? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0190HGM8M?qid=&ref_=tmm_vnl_swatch_0&sr= I got the 'Zon bucks for it, but it's hella weird that it's a $10 markdown...

Damn, the flags are cool, and $20 for Descensus is a pretty great price.

That seems like a good one for the house demos, definitely using that one.

Any cool alternate covers going around for the demos? I don't like having duplicate album covers, and I'm using the picture disc Tree-Bike picture for the rerelease, but I need one for the Linden House Demos and the stems whenever I get them.

This may have been discussed already, but what's the deal with the stems?

Just got the email with downloads! I'm really excited. Getting more and more upset that I missed out on tickets to both the Philly and Starland Ballroom shows, since those are both super convenient for me to get to.

Huh. I got an email that had a download for a sampler. Was yours in that email? Mine wasn't.

So like, are people who bought the single LP going to get downloads soon?

I'm buying the single LP edition of this, so I'd like to see the story too please if you wouldn't mind!

I like the rectangle. I think it'd be cool of you to ask the band since they didn't get a say in any other details about the album. I feel like it'd take this to another level to get their input!

I coulda made it clearer, don't worry! I meant more that your average hot topic customer is probably not familiar with how valuable this record is to a lot of people. I meant it'd be more like Finch's Say Hello to Sunshine; a truly incredible record that will sit in Hot Topic's (ultra shitty) vinyl storage things, getting passed up because of its relatively lofty pricetag.

I feel like this isn't an album that will be casually picked up by people. Hot Topic distributers would be hella dumb if they didn't put almost all of them online.

I wouldn't recommend either of these things, as it could very easily make the record unplayable. But it's your funeral if you want to take the risk. Good luck.

I'm disappointed but can't imagine I'll ever be disappointed enough to let go of it. I hope you get a copy of it. Hopefully a repress that actually gets some very simple, common-sense things right.

I don't have time to jot down everything that I find beautiful about this album, but you really hit some amazing points on here. Contact, Timothy, Our World is Grey, Wrong Body, and Clouds are the tracks that resonate with me the most, but all of them hit me incredibly hard. The lyrics on here are just... so wonderful. I don't know if any other album has captured desperation like this one does.

Ah, I see, when you add it to a cart it comes up. Ah well.

Huh, I'm not getting that message.

Does anyone know if this is for real? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/son-i-loved-you-at-your-darkest-lp-vinyl/23391721.p?id=2890044&skuId=23391721&productCategoryId=cat02685

On the CD, it was a sticker, so the artwork was just the painting, not the title or anything. So I was hoping that the title part would just be a sticker on shrink-wrap, not on the artwork itself. And mine is came a tiny bit mangled on the edges, something that would have definitely not happened if they had just put it in a plastic sleeve or something. Also, if they're going to ship them without shrink-wrap, why not keep the records out of the jackets like most people do? Like c'mon. Woah, from where?

Actually, not sarcasm, sorry. I was going to keep it wrapt because it sounded like the packaging was a little on the flimsy side, and I didn't want to open it until I was around my set-up, which I'm currently not. Also the lack of insert/ not including the coolest part of the artwork in here / having the title-sticker on the actual cover is pretty disappointing. Seems a little half-baked for a $33 pressing, ya know?
