Pics! Just snagged a blue myself

 

That blue looks familiar!

Going for a green myself, I don’t have any of that colour.

It's 44 mins. That doesn't need a 2xlp treatment

I’m with Chazz4’s buddy on this one - with Forest being 4 mins long, it either makes side A too long or if it were moved to side B it would make that side too long. This album deserves a 45 RPM 2xLP treatment for sure. Steal This Album should be recut at 45 RPM too.

you have zero standards as a consumer, got it!! also never said anything about a scam, not sure why that ended up being a whole separate bullet point

Heave-ho, Mr. Leading-The-Fight-Against-Capitalism-One-Record-Label-At-A-Time

also, does Parting Gift use Intelcom Tracking when shipping internationally? Because if so, I think my Finch WIITB just shipped. Could mean this one is next. 

Mr. Scorpio? Is that you?

This is the stuff that keeps me comin’ back. 
I fucken love these boards

Let me rephrase. Did we need this style of pressing?

Where is Who Cares? when we need him?

Goddamnit I wanted another variant of Doppelgänger first

So what's the official overall count on each? 

Previous special editions were in the realm of 7,000 to 10,000, so. 
 

A lot.

There is no proof of white vinyl being worse than other colors to my knowledge. 

Looks like I gotta post this again 

Hey you guys, we did it! We drove B_big away, he’s packed up and left!

Let’s do tug next!

I'm essentially the gutterball1 of Alkaline Trio.  And unapologetically a big Senses Fail fan. I want these represses to be good. And its just getting old. Life Is Not A Waiting Room was advertised as a standard size lp and it was the two inch nonsense. Follow Your Bliss has an edited song, Remains had two songs removed completely. I'm tired, boss.

 

Do I have to be annoying about it? Nah but I'm definitely choosing to be.

This is the sentiment I agree with. The bullshit of post-Covid record collecting is pushing me to quit the hobby altogether. These faults with what should have been simple, quality represses are just nails in the coffin.

I hope this new album is mixed a bit better than Villains was.  There’s some genuinely killer material on that record but the production really clips the balls on it.  I bet it’s amazing live though.

Agreed, along with FF’s Concrete and Gold. I found the solution was to play these records really fucking loud.

Oh no! Don't you get depressed . . . there's always somebody that beats you with the size of his collection! . 😶

It’s not your size, it’s how you use it. 

Nice collection! Here’s mine:

I’m from Canada and we have lots of space.

How are you guys actually getting baited by Discogs scammers?

I understand that you have to be quick with a lot of those RSD exclusives, but even if you fly in and add something to your cart, and checkout in < 5 seconds... you can probably glance at the user profile that was created that morning, with no avatar, and 0 feedback, selling a record at a price that's a little too good to be true, and probably put 2 and 2 together before sending a payment over.  I didn't think that was too big-brain to piece together.

I guess it is…

For anyone interested, I bought Sum 41’s Chuck from LeNoise and learned that there are three variants that were released on Saturday. Kind of the same rollout as DTLI. So I think Americans can expect to get access to them soon. 
The colour I got was translucent cream with red & grey splash. Looks like a raw chicken breast.

Nah it's your entire personality. It sucks and you're oblivious. 

Boomerisms.

That’s such good news, with any hope the surface noise will drown out the music.

Where did you hear about Josh?  

Variety is speculating about it:

https://variety.com/2023/music/news/foo-fighters-new-album-single-rescued-1235588521/amp/

I hear the In Your Honor vibes and I like it. A return to form would be great for this band. 
Anyone know for sure who’s drumming? I read that Josh Freese May have played on the recording but that’s it. 

It’s up!

https://www.hellomerch.com/collections/russian-circles/

15th anniversary repressings of Station from Russian Circles. Unknown quantity for smash and splatter. 

Indie stores will have Coke Bottle /1,250 and Black /1,000.

Man, I hope this record doesn’t suck as much as MAM did…

Also, am I the only one not digging the song immediately? It kinda seemed like generic parts of ETID and DEP slapped together. I kinda like some moments of calm in my ETID songs. This one was kinda go-go-go. I kinda spaced out and wanted it over half way.

I really enjoyed the second half of the song more than the first half. Sounds like they’ll have the potential to combine their talents more effectively as they play together more. 

Oooh yeah I gotta add this to my titty collection. So far I have Bloodhound Gang, QOTSA, Charli XCX and Halsey. 
My wife hates them all!
