Bummer.

also, gaslight anthem is absolutely killing it
 
at least they did at pnc in jersey...best i've seen them since the handwritten release show

Seeing them in two weeks. Hope that tour variant is sold out by then... So I don't have to drunkenly fight with myself over whether or not to buy another variant of a record I already own.

I agree. Not their best album but a big improvement from Handwritten. Selected Poems and Dark Places are actually better than a lot of the material on American Slang I think.

Word. If you really want to be unique you need to add a studded leather jacket with Exploited and Germs pins/patches.

Nice. Did you see a Big Choice sold on Ebay yesterday for $255?

Comprehension...the *real* white whale.

And 18 Tracks, and The Rising.
I'm a huge Bruce fan, but all these albums can be found for under $10. I'm sure these will sell well to casual fans who don't want to buy anything used, but it's frustrating that his under appreciated 90s & 2000s material will remain out of print while LPs that collectively sold tens of millions of copies are getting reissued.
Neil Young has a similar problem - the way his Archive Series is going, he'll be long dead before I can own Harvest Moon on vinyl. Meanwhile, I just picked up a beautiful copy of Harvest for less than half the price of the reissue.

You guys are hilarious. Just move on. Nothing to see here.

Something soon.

This is a generic Rock N' Roll album.  Would never make my Top 10 Ryan Adams album list but at least it's probably better than Ashes & Fire.  Looking forward to Blackhole.  The Door is killer.

Thought it would be funny, does it really matter?
 
Though, you're welcome for the link...

If this were $12 I might have thought about it. 

I've seen this dejaentandu thing keep coming up on this bored so I finally looked it up....Was completely clueless about this band and any albums of there.
What is the appeal of this mall music crap? And how on earth is it so expensive for this album?
My theory: when this thing came out everyone who wants to buy it now was 13 years old, so it is middle school nostalgia music.
Damn I'm old but this stuff befuddled me

Yikes. How do you get to college without knowing the difference between here and hear, and que and cue?

I understand delays happen, but October? Kind of horseshit. I can understand indie acts having delays because they typically have fewer resources to devote to getting everything straightened out, but a major label should really have their shit together so this doesn't happen.
Also says a lot about the pressing plant they used. Sure, it sounds like the label requested some changes, but the plant that pressed the retail version was sure able to get those out in time for the new release date, and I'm willing to bet that was a much larger order than the splatter.
I'd sure love to cancel and just go buy a (cheaper) retail copy, which I could have in my hands tomorrow, but the card I used has been cancelled, so I'm sure a refund is going to be a collasal PITA. Guess I'll just get a nice surprise on my doorstep in October.
The 15% coupon gesture is appreciated, but I doubt I'll use it.

Which is exactly what happened with the fan club, right? "We know you're still waiting on the product we didn't deliver, but for double the price, you can sign up next year for the same quality service."
 
Deleted a longer rant because I didn't even order this so why bother. But it's a shame there isn't more of a value placed on the fans of this band. Not sure where that is coming from, but it's pretty obvious there's an issue here that needs to be sorted quickly. Can't think of many other major (or smaller) releases that consistently get so weird and messed up.
 
Brand New POs aside, of course.

I hate when companies give you a coupon as the result of something they failed to deliver.
 
The best way to get over the disappointment is to spend more money somewhere that I've had a negative experience? It's like saying, "we're sorry we screwed up, give us some more money while you're at it"

Just watched the video from Letterman. Between that and the Vintage Vinyl show last Saturday, all I can say is that I think this band has finally reached a level of songwriting and performance where getting Alex L some vocal lessons would be a worthy investment. 

Oh captain my captain.
