I've been waiting for this album to be pressed on vinyl for ages. Even asked their label and them personally on social media long time ago. Finally happened, with the only issue being it's incredibly expensive. Total cost in europe ends up being around 70€ with shipping. Isn't that an outrageous price? I've waited for a couple months and still no price drop, no idea why. Don't know if I should just do it and pay that insane amount... But it doesn't seem right to me. 

Glad I own the original green vinyl from 2007! Not that it will sound better than the reissue anyways... But it's cool to have.

Yes! Just got shipping confirmation and tracking number. Now to wait about 2-3 weeks...

So the other day I went to indiemerch and it still said preorder for the /300 frail words collapse which would make sense, thats why they haven’t shipped. Just checked and it says add to cart not pre order now so hopefully that means they are in and will finally ship. Ready to spin the fuck outta FWC

Yeah it says add to cart but I still don't have any kind of shipping confirmation... 

Just recieved my Shadows 296/300 from EMP. https://www.discogs.com/es/As-I-Lay-Dying-Shadows-Are-Security/release/11474283

Came without poster for some reason...

Indiemerch needs to hurry the fuck up 

Yup still waiting for my Frail Words /300... they didn't even charge me yet.

Still no shipping notification from Indiemerch... Still says preorder even though it's release day

Loool, IDK man. The mockup was ugly, but that is reallly ugly. 
Glad I waited, I think my new leaning is towards the indiemerch yellow/orange splotchy one.

But that one looks really ugly even in the mock-up lol.

well this is disappointing 

Doesn't look bad... It's blue... with splatters.

Got shipping confirmation for Shadows from EMP, now waiting for Indiemerch for Frail Words. 

Still nothing here from indiemerch and EMP

there’s like 200 copies left dude lol

Weird, I thought those would be gone in a couple days max, they're easily the best looking ones. But oh well people like splatters I guess. 

I find it hard to believe that those /300 are still up for preorder in the indiemerch store. However I sent an email some hours after my preorder was placed, told them my concerns about it and they assured me a copy has been reserved for me.

Will cross my fingers...

Just cancelled my amazon order and got the /300 frail words on indie merch, surprised they still had one! easily the best looking one

This one must be the one Amazon lists as "opaque brown/opaque yellow" right? 

EDIT: Nevermind just saw a picture of the opaque brown/opaque yellow version and its fugly! Jeez, cancelling right now. Would much rather get a black vinyl than that thing.

There are also a few other /200 variants in the MB Euro Ebay Store.

Links? I can't find anything.

Well even tho he says in his apology that he's not promoting anything, I think he already has some plans for new music. I'm not looking forward to it tho, I don't expect it to be any good. His last album was pretty meh and a bit generic sounding imo. Even tho many people claim it to be their best album yet... 

Just give us the vinyl already Tim, this will be a long month of waiting

so what does it matter if its a good reissue when youre just going to hang it on a wall?

worth it to hang on your wall? records are meant to be played my dude. if you want something for your wall, just buy the art.

I guess I wasn't so clear. I'm gonna play the shit out of it, like I do with all my records, but I hang my favourite ones on the wall with some stands with easy access.

Not my photo, but it's just like this:

Oh my god I am freaking out. It may sound stupid but this is my dream come true. The vinyl for Frail Words Collapse has been in my Discogs wishlist forever. I was just about to win a 100€ auction for it TODAY. And I found out about the reissue right now. Dodged a bullet right there, holy shit. Hopefully it will be a good reissue, gonna hang it in my wall next to my "An Ocean Between Us" transparent green vinyl. 

I can't wait!! Paying 50% more just to get it shipped from USA to Spain. Worth it. 

Me too. 

So how does the vinyl for DD sound compared to the CD? I mean I dont expect it to sound awesome since the original recording wasn't really great, but I'm not really sure I want to pay 20 bucks for a cover art (because if the sound is the same as the CD why would I bother playing the vinyl).

Also I'll be getting the normal black version instead of the pink Hot Topic one because paying 40€ for shipping from USA to Spain is not in my plans.

Thanks.
