Right? How 6800 Green Days evaporated in a day is beyond me.

6800 Green Days seems like a lot. I would expect it to last a while tomorrow and be available for a while afterwards as well.

No download code for the Dine Alone exclusive.

I was born and raised in the Maritimes, but lived in BC for ~10 years where I had a lot of co-workers and employees from Southern Ontario tell me they were from the "east coast".... sure thing buds.

You don't want to pay $52 for an early bird PV release? Your loss.

Move to Canada. After shipping costs euro releases are the same price as US releases. I ordered from PV and BSM and paid the same price for both.

I've only been listening through bandcamp but really can't find anything to complain about with the mix. The two points I have seen here are "guitars are too loud" and "vocals are too low" but I do not find this to be the case for two reasons: 1. they're not and 2. I seem to be in the minority of music listeners who mostly takes the music released by "serious" bands as "as is" and accept that it is intended to be this way. It is unlikely that La Dispute have released this in a state that they didn't believe was how the music was intended to be experienced. I refuse to project my expectations or tastes onto the music someone else creates; life is too short to be that asshole. To contradict myself though, I do think the cover art is lifeless (in deep conflict with the music on the album). I am curious on your thoughts on the music and production when you finally get around to listening though. Anyway, anyone hear anything about a tour press yet?

This is the best summary available for my feelings of the album.

definitely more horns.

100% in to this. I loved LP2 more than LP1, and sonically, I find this finds the sweet spot between the last two albums. I need to sit down with this when I'm not at work and give it a deeper listen, but for now I do not regret ordering this from BSM.

Going in for the first time now...

Also... a wee bit disappointed my purchase didn't come with a download for the new single like Polyvinyl provides. Should I also assume this album will be like the last two (maybe three) Dine Alone releases I have purchased which didn't include album downloads on the release date?

I knew keeping the product page open on my screen and refreshing every few minutes would pay off. Praise the lord.

I just can't get behind a Canadian online shop charging in USD.

Shows were all excellent. I think they played the best Friday night, but preferred the crowd on Thursday night better. Saturday night was great, but what was really exceptional for that night was they played Smaller Chairs for the encore! Felt like I was back in 2001 again, except I'm pretty old and have completely given up on life.

Big ol' "sold out" sign over the price listing for this on the merch table when I was walking out after the final show. As with every other "sold out" pressing released by the industry over the past few years I'm sure there are a few dozen laying around somewhere, but I don't know if you're going to get the answer you're hoping for anytime soon.

Nice, I like a good early delivery. So much for January 25th, ha. Which variant did you go with?

Anyone else get shipping/pick up notification? I recieved an email from Dine Alone a week ago that my order was ready for pick up and this is the only outstanding order I have with them. I haven't had time to bike over to get it yet, and I am kind of wondering if I got it early by accident and it's not actually ready. Anyone else?

It's $40CAD. Ugh.

Another new variant up for sale at the shows this week in Toronto. Same pressing numbers as last year's Red Tree box set so I'd say there is a chance some of these will make it online as well. Not just a different colour either, as this has a different sleeve as well. Pleased to add this to my moneen collection this week.

$weet . (this is a joke, but glad I bought it early this morning.)

I wish the early bird colour was available in the deluxe packaging/ 45rpm pressing. Guess I've got to buy both?

Dig the jams. This time, I'm gonna wait on a tour variant and see what happens.

Thanksgiving was a month ago

Opaque purple.
