Dang. I loved this record when I was a kid! Not sure I want to spend the $40 for it though... Was the Translucent Smoke the same price? Seems there is only one option now. 

"Hot Mess"  is a guilty pleasure for sure. Can't take it too seriously, but like others said, it's a fun and easy listen. Might bring back some memories of Summers past when it arrives in December and the snow is falling. 

My total was $57.73 for this amazing 3xlp shipped to me. I feel good about this purchase. Now for the wait..

Wow. The price is a bit high, but man I love me some Fear Factory, especially this early stuff. I need this! Run Out Groove has had some awesome releases lately!

White Pony, Adrenaline, Around the Fur, s/t, Saturday Night Wrist, Diamond Eyes, Koi No Yokai, Gore. 
 

I definitely appreciate the newer stuff, but the first four albums is where it’s at for me. I remember being really impressed with Diamond Eyes when it came out though. 

I'm with you on this one. Maybe just because of the nostalgia, but my favorites are ATF and Adrenaline. I appreciate all of their music in some way or another, but when I think of Deftones I think of the ATF album first.

Not as lucky here unfortunately. Got it today-saw the cardboard mailer with a folded corner and knew I was going to be disappointed. Lower right corner of the jacket has a nasty crease and the vinyl has an audible warp off and on through the first side. I've reached out to the distro and hopefully they will help out!

I've never seen such a cheap flimsy mailer before. I can't believe mine had no damage. Hope they can help you. A friend of mine got in on this Kickstarter and he said his is part of a 2nd pressing? Or atleast that's how he worded it? Maybe they are still pressing these and can make it right. 

I got my copy over the weekend, no shipping notice or anything, just showed up. Surprisingly it was in perfect condition, even with the flimsy cardboard mailer. As others have said the package is super flimsy, almost feels like the jacket would blow away in a breeze. Still somehow, no dents, dings, or creases (which amazes me), and the record itself is awesome. Looks great and sounds great. For those who are wondering about leftovers or future presses here is an excerpt from my most recent email from Kickstarter.

I missed the Kickstarter, can I buy an album? OR Can I purchase extra albums?

Bummer. If we have any Kickstarter copies left over after fulfilling orders, we will make them available to purchase, sign up for email at presidentsrock.com to keep in the loop on that.

If there are no leftovers, fear not, a plain black version of the album will be available to purchase in the fall via your favorite local record store. Let your local record shop know you want them to reserve you a copy and that they can order from Burnside Distro. NOTE! Burnside is not going to take direct-to-fan orders; you need to get the record through a shop. Support your local record store! Please! They need you! Just call them up and tell them what you want, and we're sure they'll be happy to help make it happen!

 

There are a  bunch of old Roadrunner releases I'd like to see as well. Maybe something like Fear Factory : Demanufacture /Digimortal or Spineshank : The Height of Callousness/Self Destructive Pattern. Roadrunner Records is where I really started listening to metal. Fear Factory, Machinehead, Soulfly, Spineshank, Coal Chamber were some of my favorites back in the day and still find their way into my rotation. MoV has pressed some of them recently, like Fear Factory : Obsolete and Spineshank : Strictly Diesel. I'd love to see someone press October Rust or The More Things Change like others mentioned. In the meantime I voted for Killswitch and pre ordered Burn My Eyes. World Coming Down was my first ROG purchase, and it was an awesome release, looking forward to Burn My Eyes next and crossing my fingers Killswitch gets the next spot.  

Thanks for the share. I grabbed a BSN as well. It gave me the option for media mail, as I was not going to pay over twelve bucks for priority. Based on their Covid message, who knows when it will actually ship.

So they are super collectable now? Now I wish I didn't just stick them on my recycling bin.

 

Not sure if they are or not. He has a friend who's nickname is "Mondo". He saw the sticker I stuck on my water bottle and asked if I had any left.

I have a couple and can throw some in for free with an order if you are looking for anything 
 

 

I'll take a look. Thanks.

Does anyone have any unused Mondo promo stickers they would be willing to sell? Of all the Mondo releases I've bought I only got one sticker!? I have a friend who saw mine stuck on my water bottle at work and asked where I got it. Haven't really seen them for sale anywhere so I figured I'd ask around. Not picky on which sticker, just has to have the word Mondo on it. 

Damn. I wanted that Donkey Roll cover. Shouldn't have waited on it, seems to be the only one that sold out on both Mondo and The Lonely Island page. Might have to go for Standing in Front of Buildings instead..

It'd be nice if one of these retailers listed what music was actually on the soundtrack...  

The 7" Says "Never Ending Story" on it. So there's that. I read somewhere that the cast is performing a song in the soundtrack? I assume that's what the 7" of Never Ending Story is? 

I know this hold multiples, but this is what I use. I keep it next to my turntable and rotate through my collection. This keeps my current rotation easily accessible.

I received a cancellation notice from Merchnow for the  7M3. I called Merchnow and they said they received 11 of the yellow and had 40 orders.

Still waiting on mine. Neither cancelled, or shipped..time will tell.

Mine show as "packaged" now thankfully. And just got a shipped notice for the 7M3. Not a bad day at all.

Dang. Still waiting on my shipping notice for 7M3. Hope I didn't get duped. 

Love these guys! Soo cool. Really want a Height of Callousness release next! 

Just saw this today! Glad they still had some! Still 255 when I checked the stock. Bummer it's exclusive to their webstore cause they really gouge you for shipping on this one. Over $8...yeesh. I've been getting a lot of pre-orders easily through my local record store lately, so I guess I was due.

Only 16 left in stock...

Dang pressure is on. Might as well cave. I do like the album and haven't gotten it on vinyl yet. 

Just now, lethalenforcer said:

Newbury typically only sells exclusive vinyl that they already have in-hand (or at least exists already) so the product photos are usually spot-on.

Nice. Thanks for the info. I always look, but have never ordered from them. Always a little pricey, but that one is tempting and it's /100..

Wow. That Designs for Automotion looks awesome. I wonder how close to the mock-up it is, those are great colors to match the album art.

on the bright side you could always just buy what you want on ebay.

I know what you mean. Between Discogs and Ebay I have gotten past releases after RSD was over. But I have enjoyed the "holiday" type feel of participating in RSD. I know the crowds and lines can be annoying, It's also a bummer some releases get sold out quickly. Personally I try not to get too uptight about what I may or may not be able to acquire from my want list that day. I just think it's a fun day to be out there with other enthusiasts visiting your local record stores. There's usually special events going on like live music, giveaways, and sales on non RSD releases or used records. You meet interesting new people, and catch up with old friends you may have not talked to for some time. I guess I just get really into the spirit of it all.

Just FYI, I was in Chicago a few years back for C2E2 during RSD.  I took an uber up to Reckless Records on Madison on the saturday morning and then back in time for the convention.  Line wasn't bad and they had a good selection.  Probably like a $6 uber each way.

Thanks for that info...hmmmmm.....now I am going to have to look at my budget even closer. I've skipped out on the last couple of C2E2's but that is also one of my favorite cons. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out Star Wars Celebration was going to be held  at McCormick in 2019, so I immediately booked a room there before the hotel blocks even came out.   

Dang. Looks like two of my favorite things are going to be clashing this year. Not going to make Record Store Day since I will be attending Star Wars Celebration in Chicago. Oh well...
