Don't quote me on this, but I wonder if this has something to do with a rights issue.

Either way, they re-recorded the whole record and preorders are up. The /100 is already sold out.

MAJOR EDIT: They just confirmed on IG that only the two songs included with the purchase (Vanity, You Broke Like Glass) were re-recorded.

It’s been discussed time and time again, especially in this thread, but I still can’t believe how absurd ticket prices have been and how much they’re going to be. The whole industry needs to be rebuilt. 
 

For fucks sake, two Deftones tickets are just about two hundred dollars after Ticketmaster’s “fees”. Blows my mind. Then you look at this RATM situation and it’s even crazier.

btw, did everyone's copies have the sleeves come unglued? both my copies have varying degrees of coming apart. nothing a little gluestick can't fix, but that was kinda annoying.

A ton of people are having the same problem with the sleeves. Got off light, a shit ton of people have been receiving the record (packaging included) damaged or outright broken. It’s a clusterfuck for the most part. 

This rules very much

Anyone have an update on the variant they have on the Baroness tour?

When I saw them Friday night they said they only had black vinyl with them. 

Only downside to seeing them last night was that I wish they had played longer. Band never disappoints live. The stuff they’re playing off this record are great additions to their set list. 

These songs come off so much better live.

Baroness still put on one hell of a show.

Packaging and artwork is very Lynch IMO. Love it. 

God damn, THIS is a monster of a record haha. Fuck yes.

They just released the title track. Wow, beautiful stuff. 

That’s assuming you ordered through them.

No download code. Anyone have a legit digital version?

Check your email. They emailed it out to the address you used for your order through Hydrahead. 

Got my yellow today.

This is a hell of a record with a ton of emotional weight to it (not in a bad way). Up there with their best.

New song up. All the feels.

I think the album after that – 2012’s Harmonicraft – is a blast.  It’s aged well for me.  Their last album (Restarter, 2015) is... okay.  I haven’t gotten the mileage out of it that I was hoping for.

Yeah I'm definitely in the same boat as you.

Huge fan of this song right off the bat, hope the rest of the record is just as promising. Been missing some good Torche tunes these last few years. The last Floor record was fantastic, too.

Fuck, that track is INSANE. Super excited. 

Very excited for this. Loved the first record and Dunedevil. 

Shoutout to the USPS for delivering this crushed and bent to shit!

Also heard the live stream. It was obviously cell phone video of a record playing so it was in no way indicative of the actual production, but man.... goosebumps.  Sounded like they were using a lot of super low tunings which reminded me of Soundgarden (not the songs themselves but the actual guitars)

I had read rumblings that Strange Reflection was a real stand out and they were right. I can't wait to finally have this in my hands. 

With releases like this, I (selfishly) wish that the shop would block people who purchased the first pressing from grabbing this one. Kinda like how a lot of places will cancel orders on people who buy more than one of something. 

Very true, I just figured with them already working on a release that some here may choose to directly support the band instead.

Just a heads up, the band didn't give permission for this. Chris and Chaka both mentioned on Instagram that they're officially releasing this on vinyl with a lot of bonus stuff and MOV still went ahead and put this out.

Little over two months

If someone going tonight wouldn't mind grabbing me a clear/white, I'll pay ya cost+shipping to the states+extra for your troubles!
