FUCK YES. I skipped buying this so many times when it was going for $10 on Discogs and have regretted it for years.

Shit…I didn’t see the posters. I’m moving soon and am going to have a dedicated record/computer room that could use a couple posters. Might have to go back before the PO window closes.

Took forever but grabbed Electra and YPAA. I have that SRC pressing of YPAA but haven’t touched it in years and years.

I had the /300 one and sold it years ago when I needed money. I’ve always regretted it and never picked up another copy. Bummed I missed the DW variant though.

Hell yeah.

Got a shipment notification from Tiger Records a little bit ago.

This album rules.

Nah. I’ve been regularly checking my email for the past few days hoping to see a shipping notification from Tiger.

I’m going on vacation in a couple weeks and REALLY don’t want to spend money but want that pink real bad. I hope it’s still around in a month or so.

I started it last night and nearly shelved it after the first two hours. The amount of tutorial messages popping up on my screen was the most obnoxious shit I have experienced in a long time. My non-gamer girlfriend was even getting irritated by the CONSTANT tutorial stuff popping up every two seconds. Combat feels very weightless and boring too. But with that being said, I put a couple more hours in and am really really enjoying the story. Enough for me to push through and see if everything else can click. So far, a lot of people’s complaints in the more negative reviews are totally true though. Narrow hallway after narrow hallway, bad combat, very little RPG elements, etc. I didn’t plan on buying Diablo 4 but was talked into it by my lifelong co-op gaming partner. We both played D3 on release and thought we were done with the series for good after playing that game for a couple days, but something about D4 has completely sucked us in. Only complaint is that endgame is a little sparse until seasons and updates start rolling in. Otherwise I don’t think I have too many complaints. Maining a werebear druid and it is so much fun.

Jesus some of those variants are hideous. I really like this album and ended up grabbing the DW variant. Now I just need to sell my regular copy for cheap.

Oh man. Takk… into Glósóli is one of the greatest openers of all time. Sæglópur (favorite SR song) and Gong are wonderful too. I’d kill for a Takk… 2.0. I listened to about half of the new album on my way to work this morning and enjoyed it. I’m excited to blast it at home when I get some alone time soon.

Takk… has become my favorite over the past couple years. There are so many perfect songs on there.

The pictures of the clear and black on the band’s site show the gatefold.

I’m sure I’ll still enjoy it a bit but that is a major bummer to me personally. I’ll always enjoy the louder and more dynamic Sigur Rós over the Valtari sounding stuff. I love this band either way and have been anticipating a new release for a long time.

I forgot about this album. I’m glad to hear it’s good. Need to check it out soon.

The first song they released was boring as fuck. Hoping the album is good. I think I’ll grab the red.

Converge and Botch is such a great lineup. Have openers been announced for the whole tour yet? Obviously won’t be bands of that caliber.

The price doesn’t seem like the worst thing ever right now due to the insane inflation but I remember thinking it was insane back in 2020.

I believe it was a member discount.

I have been wanting to see this material come to light for years and can’t believe that it is finally happening. I’m glad I got it but still feel stupid for paying VMP’s price for it. Absolute ripoff.
