Agreed. I'd like to see a shot of the blue held up to light. 

I bet it will look good on my white TT with acrylic platter. It's not scheduled to arrive until Friday though.

Yeah it's been going on longer than 2 weeks for me. Slowest site I visit regularly.

Will listen. I think I only played the last one a few times though.

I just played through my blue copy. The first side looked a teensy bit wobbily but sounded fine other than some surface noise every now and then. Pretty happy with the sound, I never knew there was a different version outside NA. 

 

The blue came out really dark but it's got pretty black wispys in it.

If you hadn't said that was blue I would have just assumed it was black with some areas looking blue due to reflections. 

I was expecting something up on Castle Face today but still nothing! 

A couple of those variants seem cool.

Not to be the bearer of bad news but I've seen some reviews of this new press on discogs and a few people are saying that their copes are pressed off-center and the warble is very noticeable. Hopefully its just a small batch in the pressing that is effected but I'd be prepared. Here's to hoping there are no more problems with and I'll just stick to my OP.

Yikes. I just had a look - comments seem specific to the European standard black version at this point. Hope that's it.

New track is nice:

Come onnnnnn Worlds Apart...

Their worst IMHO. So Divided gets a lot of shit but Worlds Apart was the uncomfortable transitional record, and had a lot of cringe-worthy moments I could never get past. 

MBV was pretty good, haven't listened to it that much though. But good example.

I've never listened to Afghan Whigs.

I can hardly stand any Weezer beyond the blue album.

So yeah, it's all subjective.

im going to act like this is a "haha funny" comment because im pretty sure the extra one I bought didn't make you miss out on it but if it wasn't a "haha funny" comment then you can go complain to people who bought extras to flip, not to help a fellow VC'er out for cost (like ive done many times before here)

It was haha funny.

There are loads of bands who have released new material, after their prime, that has been on the level of their prime material.  I'm not saying an OG lineup would release another Siamese Dream but I won't completely discount it either.

It's all subjective of course, but I can't think of any off the top of my head. 

I prefer to be pleasantly surprised than to have any sort of high expectations.

The thought of an original lineup reunion doesn't do much for me - except maybe for touring reasons although I don't go to stadium shows.

I know better than to have high expectations for any potential new material this long after the band's prime, no matter who's in whatever band is being discussed.

Yeah I would buy Lateralus again if they released it as a non-picture disc. 

Also would buy Aenima with a quickness.

Damn I didn't get this email until this morning, missed out on the Sugar Into Tea (although I might have been able to get one if KingTacoMunster didn't buy two). 

Ordered the tour version with ticket to Seattle. 

Nice, digging that track. I really need to check out their first one, and I wish I'd shown up early enough when I saw King Gizzard last time. My friends and I were more concerned with boozing next door.

I bet these will sound great but as none of them are long albums I'm happy to have them all on 1LP. Just got the last one I needed a few weeks ago, Here Come the Warm Jets.

Woah I missed this thread initially - great news! Is there an official release date for the album? Site says "late summer".

Edit: Never mind, the web store page says August 25.

According to the tracklist, there are more tracks than the original pressing on this? Komputer has been removed (licensing issues maybe?) and 6 have been added. More like an LP now.

The original digital release was 7 tracks including "Komputer" - a perfect set and length. The 2012 vinyl and digital reissue had 11 tracks not including "Komputer". The additional tracks diluted the quality of the EP, IMHO. The new reissue seems to have an identical track listing to the 2012 reissue/1st vinyl press. 

Yeah I really don't get it being "as weird as Fantomas." 

Had to do some deep-digging to find where those Download reissues were being sold. Nothing on Artoffact's bandcamp page, and I had to scroll deep, deep down their Facebook page to find a link to an article which then posted links to where to buy them - on stormingthebase.com. Wow. 

Seems that most variants are still available there, and the rest on Discogs. Just copped the clear/blue splatter of TEOSP on Discogs along with III and Sidewinder on Storming the Base.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

I can't speak for this poster, but a lot of people are probably still waiting to receive shipments with The Eyes Of Stanley Pain, Sidewinder, III and Effector as Artoffact just recently released them. I received mine a couple weeks ago.

What?! I checked their site before posting the question and saw no mention of any of these releases. I would buy those in a heartbeat.

Yeah, I wonder if the band is getting any money at all from these re-releases, I doubt it. Hopefully all the SP stuff from that era is out of Nettwerk's hands and into companies that'll actually do something with the catalog. I'm very happy with my original copies (I found Bites on discogs years back for $2!)  so I doubt I'll buy these but I'm glad they're finally getting repressed. I second Artoffact's work with the Download/Key stuff, the Doubting Thomas pressing sounds amazing and I can't wait for the new Download LP's to arrive. 

What Download LPs are they putting out?
