Mumps was alright, I preferred the Sod in the Seed EP that came right before, but still a definite step down from Eskimo Snow. Pre-ordered anyway, also hopeful.

Great news!

T, FTFY

312, if I'm checking correctly. Debating on canceling my Amazon order, although it may be limited too so maybe I'll wait and see.

Yeah I was disappointed in the 192kbps download from my retail copy. I don't remember A Weird Exits being 192...maybe I downloaded a better copy.

Ordered also. Gracias, thepunkguy!

I just purchased an MOV copy on Discogs - miGht as well snag it for $18 instead of waiting for a potentially inferior issue to come out. Reason I never picked this up locally is they're selling for $39-50 and I always assumed it was out of print. Just 2 days ago I checked one shop and they had it for $39. Another one has it for $50, and an original for $75 or something. Also wanted to report back on my 1972 copy of From the Lions Mouth - I played it in full Wednesday and it sounded really good, as I remembered. No complaints.

Yeah I checked Discogs after posting yesterday and was surprised there's a new repress with the MOV still being available for a good price. Seems like a safer bet, we already know that sounds good. I'll have to re-listen to my copy of From the Lions Mouth.

Thanks for the tip - this is the only one missing from my LP collection, save for Ultimate Alternative Wavers which isn't required for me. I have a pressing of The Sound's From the Lions Mouth pressed by 1972 and it sounds really great. I had nothing to compare it to though.

Shame, but yes it'll still be an amazing show.

I saw my first OG copy of Soup in the wild today. $350...10 cents more expensive than the most expensive of 3 currently on Discogs. None of those are in the US though. But who gives a shit?! $23 reissue yeah!!!

Had to look him up. Looks like he's one of the drummers - what does that mean for the live shows?! I loved the two drummer set-up when I saw them last fall. The whole band was so tight. PS I found a copy of An Odd Entrances in the wild today. Yay! I figured I didn't have any luck with the color variants I probably won't have any luck if there's another variant later. And if I do, I can always sell this one. Also I'll check at the show next Friday.

I'm pretty calm right now. I like humor, too, I just didn't see any so I responded matter-of-factly. Sorry if that upset you.

Yes, it's irrelevant to my comments on the quality of the artwork. Try reading the entire post.

According to my Amazon pre-order, this has been delayed till January 27.

No because that has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. I see the point you're trying to make, but it's irrelevant.

Well I found out for myself. A local shop had the CD on the shelves, so I inquired about the LP since I didn't see it anywhere. They have it, but it's not released until November 25. Super lame on the label's part.

Is this still expected on store shelves this Friday, or next?

I mentioned concerns about the quality of the cover art on the latest standard reissue. Turns out, my concerns were valid. On a recent trip to the record store I was able to compare the latest standard reissue with a Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab reissue on blue vinyl - the difference in the cover art is huge - with the MFS being of higher quality and what I remember my 1994 CD cover looking like. The standard reissue (left) is pixelated and much darker - photo and background. (edit) In this photo it looks like the MFS background is darker though, but in reality the standard (left) is a bit more turquoise and the MFS is more of a true cyan. I was focusing more on the difference in face/clothing quality and color when I snapped it.

I don't disagree, 40-50 minutes is the sweet spot for me. But it also depends on the style of music. For instance I don't often want a 50 minute punk album, but don't mind a 60 minute electronic album. Even within genre categories, it depends on other factors like how good the music is.

Just streaming this, in an effort to see if it's worth $40 from the UK for an orange one. Really chill, so instrumental. I really liked what I think is "At the End, On the Stairs", the vocal and more upbeat track. Rest is really nice too but less immediately fulfilling.

Well goddamn. Inventory said 0 when I last checked a little over an hour ago, but I guess the carting nonsense was in effect.

Tempted to buy an orange one from UK but that's $41 shipped.

Thanks. I thought maybe it was an LP or something which would be AMAZING. This is probably cool too, I just don't buy 7"s.

Oh god dammit - I've been checking the site daily for a pre-order and I'm here too late. Also what's this Ty split you guys are talking about? Link please.
