I figured it would take no less than a week to sell out. There are 2000 copies. I certainly didn't think they would move this quickly.

Last update was over the summer. At the time they were in the studio.

Either an overload or the issues are from the work they're doing on the site. Over the last hour they've added vinyl versions of the t-shirt bundles plus the DF bundles.

I don't think so. I was finally able to get the site to work and it looks like it'll just be the standard version. http://store.afireinside.net/despair-faction-vinyl-bundle.html

They just added a Despair Faction exclusive bundle and it may have messed up the site. There's a vinyl bundle now but it doesn't give any info on whether its a new variant.

Anyone going to Octoberflame this weekend care to pick up an extra one of these?

The poor spelling is bothering me

I can help out

Damn that shipping is steep. It only cost $8 to ship all 4 within the states which is surprising. I've ordered so much from their store this year (those 25th anniversary collector's items) and shipping was always outrageous.

$100 well spent

Any bets on how long the vinyl will be delayed?

Thanks, I didn't see it at first on the RSD website and didn't realize I could've kept scrolling. A Lesson in Crime is the last record I need by them. Pretty cool Smith is included and getting both at once. I'm gonna have to make a request at my local record store and make sure the owner tries to get a copy.

Any TPC fans know if there was any truth to those Lesson In Crime/Smith EP anniversary presses? I remember it was rumored for a possible RSD black Friday thing.

This is the way to do it.

I think it is dependent on regions. I'm on the east coast and packages shipped from the east coast and even the Midwest have been arriving much earlier than usual. West coast shipments are still the same 5+ days for me.

This is what they should've done. Instead you don't get to really process either death since they also jump right back to Rick and his situation.

That cliffhanger was even more unnecessary then. Especially considering what happened after. Was not expecting all of that.

Do you mind if I ask how much you spent on this?

I think I would enjoy these songs so much more if there was less Thom singing and more Alisa. Overall, Simple Forms is a pretty good release after that "Sophomore slump."

Love Gloom is exactly what I hoped for. Good stuff. Definitely my AOTY (unless AFI releases one because who the hell knows what they've been teasing this week then this will take 2nd.)

Pretty sure this theory is correct. Too many clues point to this being the case. Also...

Did they change the final product or is the variant for sale on that site different? The new mock up doesn't look as cool as the first. I'm trying to remember, but wasn't the first mock up blue/white/grey splatter on black?

That's a sign for me. It wasn't meant to be for that blue.

I didn't see this answered yet, but the variant amazon is carrying is black.

If anyone is interested in their band history, this will technically be their 2nd album. They released 1 album and then 1 EP as PK. They then changed their name and released another EP. A couple of years ago, they signed to Sumerian and now have 1 EP and this album. Considering how young they were in the PK years (and the fact that they self-released and produced everything), those songs are surprisingly good. I got into them with the Lost Boys Sessions and have been hooked since. Check out the PK stuff if you can. As PK: Into the Roaring Lost Boys Sessions (EP) As Night Riots: Young Lore (EP) Howl (EP) Love Gloom
