Why are all the pressing numbers larger this year but harder to find? Figured I'd have no issue finding Death Grips lol

 

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

Maybe a bit late to ask but does anyone know how to gauge whether a record will be quickly sold out or not? I'm looking for the Green Day one and the 2 Madonna ones and I've no idea whether they'll be gone in the first 15 minutes or not. I've no clue when it comes to this kinda thing. Any insight would be great.

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.

TIL Toronto is on a coast

(I think what it comes down to is just one of those differences in terminology between our countries, Americans use the term “coast” a lot more loosely. But certainly being in the EST would make most Americans think of Toronto as “east coast.”)

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.

I'd move to Canada for a multitude of reasons but that would not be one of them.

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

Wish I sprung for the BSM variant. Definitely into this more than LP2 and a very much needed album in my life right now.

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 am willing to bet the cover is better than the mix. 

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?

Like the album, still hate the cover

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

I loved LP2. My only gripe was that it was missing much of the horns that I loved on LP1. Haven’t listened to it yet. Trying to remain strong. Just tell me are their more horns on the new LP???

definitely more horns.

Report back with your first impressions 

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.

a few orders were cancelled because of people buying too many so 3 more were just added to inventory.

 

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.

dang, thx man.  how was the show?

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.

any news if any extras are going online?

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.

Got my shipping notification the other day.  Will likely be at the house tonight when I get home from work.

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.

I waited too long, BSM splatter appears to be sold out.

$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.
