Figured I would show the deluxe off. Everything about it is fantastic. Relapse did a really good job on this. Well worth the wait.

I can't stop watching that what the fuck 

Sorry it's upside down, apparently I can't internet today.
I did get a shipping confirmation, figured they were just printing labels. 
I ordered the deluxe in a separate order like 10 minutes later and that hasn't arrived yet.

Thanks for the support everyone.
This project has been a long time coming. Kurt really did a stellar job on the remixing. We never talked about it publicly, but we had some serious hurdles during the original mix session. The power kept going out on the block for hours at a time. Essentially killing our progress each day. It eventually was finished, but we always wish we had more time with it.

I've sent it to like 20 people already but if anyone else doesn't have it count me in as someone who'll give it to ya

Excited for my DW variant.
 

I had to let this one sink in for a while and since no one has written a review, hear I go.  
 
I'm thoroughly impressed with this boxset. I was skeptical at first because of the live vinyl but after listening to it many times I have found the beauty of it. This is essentially a Converge greatest hits with a highlight on AWLWLB. The songs span through much of Converge's discography and I love this. Side 2's "My unsaid everything" to "A glacial pace" to "Cutter" is just genius. You get to hear many great songs without taking out 5 records. That being said the records are fairly quiet but thats not a big deal, just crank up the volume. The actual mix sounds great and really sounds clean for a live show. It also has the perfect amount of stage banter, I could have even had more banter but its good. The highlight of the records for me is "The saddest day". This was THE closer to most of my converge shows (2001-2004). This brings me back and is the perfect end to the live set. 
 
The most impressive aspect of this boxset is the DVDs. The live set from Philly is great but too many camera angles for me and I find it distracting. The rest of the content on the DVDS, and I havn't watched all of it, spans over 10 years. That's insane. I get to see the Converge I grew up on and the evolution to what they are now. Yes some of the sound quality, especially the earlier shows, is shit but there is so much fucking footage to make that an issue. I thought that it would have one song for each show but these are full shows. It's incredible and very impressive. For them to come up with this concept and provide fans with such an experience shows the dedication of this band.
 
The slipmat, patch and book are ok. The book is ok but not something I'll flip through more than a few times. Those items act more as book ends to the record and DVD. This is really a sick boxset and the size and weight of it are kind of an allegory to the massiveness that is Converge. Thank you guys and keep it up!!

Excited for my DW variant.
