Seriously just in the past week there were pre-orders for Yellowcard, Millencolin, Blink 182, Drive Thru Records, NOFX, and now this.
When the long grueling years of repress drought go by, you'll look back at this time and you'll smile and a little tear will drop from you eye...

How's the sound quality on the LP? I've been debating grabbing a copy. I saw a comment on Discogs that it was pressed at RTI but haven't seen much else mentioned in that regard.
Yeah, I gotta say the vinyl mastering on this is freakin' GREAT! I find the mix to be a bit heavy in the middle as in not panned very wide and maybe a bit too bassy for this style of music, but the mastering quality is phenomenal on my copy. I can't say enough good things about that.

Gotta listen. Thanks for the reminder.
No problem. I can't recommend it enough. I've pretty much had it playing in my car exclusively since the first weekend it came out and spun the whole LP like at least ten times.

So this has been out for nearly a month and I have to say, not just due to the novelty of the material and that I was deeply anticipating its release, but I have to say this is a top 3 album for them even though they don't have more than 6 LP's under their belt. It has some heavy competition. There are so many wonderful dimensions and styles on this album. The eponymous track is such a cool and weird departure that fits perfectly into their repertoire but feels totally fresh. I actually think I like the back half of the album more than the front and that's saying something because the first half is truly killer. Some early moments feel a little to "thick" for example the heft of the bass and guitars are a little too big and anthemic for their particular brand of mystique but it still works. A couple tracks feel a little bit like early 90's alternative flavors sort of mangled into their late 60's vibe and its slightly disconcerting but once you've gotten through the whole album it all just seems to work. A couple of lyrical moments are a little too on the nose for what I have come to expect from Alex Maas but I can't gripe with the sentiments being presented.
Overall a great album that lived up to the hype I built up for it.

As I understand it the track list is etched into the run out groves? The instagram photo at least suggests that.
OH! I didn't catch that. Thanks for pointing that out.

This colorway is painful. I'll probably kick myself if I don't get one even though I have the first pressing from like 2012.

The weakest overall song for me on the whole album is "Junkhead" and even saying that, its still a legit ass jam. Just not the strongest track for me. There are gems that are a cut above the rest on this album but what's left is straight awesome. One semi-weak track and a bunch of gold. Sure, a few of the singles have been a bit more worn out than the deep cuts just due to radio play throughout the 90's and MTV and all that but I stand by this whole album 100%. I've been such a dumbass about getting it on vinyl though. I have no copies and will likely get a black remaster but I've always wanted the Euro OG and the MOV. I've played both a lot as my girlfriend has both. I just don't own one of my own. I was the one who gifted her the OG and I kick myself that I didn't also grab one for myself back when they were under $100 shipping from Europe. Those prices have absolutely EXPLODED now.

So my 3xLP arrived yesterday and the mailer was so thin that the corner of the mailer was bent leaving a sizeable crease across the bottom left side of the jacket. Of course, it would be nice if that didn't happen to a $54 record but I'm past sweating that stuff. I would understand someone wanting blood over it but I can't live that life anymore. Ordered from Pop Market and honestly, this is the first problem I've had with their packaging. I should say that this is really the flimsiest mailer I've ever gotten from them and flimsiest I've gotten from a seller who wasn't from Europe. Also they used NO cardboard pads or anything. Just the record in the thin mailer. I recently got an original copy of Pretty Hate Machine that came from like Sweden or something like that and the mailer was fairly thin but there were no bends or damage at all. Its pretty much always a coin flip when you're getting records shipped but if the vendor takes measures like padding it definitely goes a long way.
I also would like to point out that there is no way my copy is anywhere near 180g. The LP's have plenty of wobble to them and I'm happy as hell about it. The third LP with the etched backside is probably the most rigid of the three. And after all that, I still haven't had a chance to listen to it but the vinyl itself looks very clean, shiny and high quality. Pretty much everyone says this thing sounds great so I'm optimistic about that.

If it’s anything like all the other reissues, we’ll see this for a very affordable price in a couple of months.
Yeah, I've seen it for as low as $26-ish which is way better than $40.99 even though I understand the CH "Kinetic" edition is supposedly different from the retail one due to a reflective gold foil cover which is not worth double the cost of a standard single LP at all. I don't know. I can see myself liking the album if it ends up feeling more like "Black Light Shine" than the other two songs overall. I'm being super picky about spending the money on this or saving it for anything else that I already know I like which is not normal for me but money has gotten tighter. Sucks.

I really only care for the first couple TMV records, so I wasn't expecting much. I actually liked the first single, but the new track is laughably bad. I expected this to be a pass for me. Didn't quite expect that though.
You know, even understanding as a long time huge TMV fan how much "Vigil" might have been jarring to other TMV fans, I really don't understand why its THAT bad to everyone. I know its like the antithesis of "Tetragrammaton" and that is one of my favorites songs specifically because it is so bloated and wild and excessively long and all that but still, I find it hard to understand why "Vigil" was the line for so many.
That said, the second two singles together are making it difficult for me to commit to pre-ordering this along with the excessive cost of even being in the price range that I earlier stated I would probably be comfortable paying. I'm not saying those songs are the worst thing on Earth but taken together with the cost, its just not inspiring me to put down even an agreeable amount of money for it.
So I don't know. Maybe I'll just bite the bullet on a whim one of these days. I imagine this won't be too hard to come by if I wait for it to show up in physical stores but who knows.

Just received this, did not open it yet though. What do you guys do with those super large stickers on the shrink? I mean they are part of the whole package, so just tossing them feels wrong.
There was a time when I liked holding on to them but nowadays I just throw them away.

WHAT is with those physical media prices????
How the fuck much more does being kinetic need to boost the premium on a single LP out here?
I'll buy this for $29.99 max if I see it for that much or less somewhere.

Mine showed up damaged and not even packaged properly and only in the package that the 5LP came in without sealing the sides. First and last time buying from them. Plus DHL to Canada is atrocious.
Which store are you referring to?

I'd buy from Amazon over Popmarket every time. Much better customer service. Better return policy. And half of my Popmarket orders have never even shown up.
Never had an issue with popmarket but Amazon literally is the tool of the devil.

It’s $53 on Amazon right now. 17% off. Won’t be long before it’s 40…
Looks like I paid 52.91 to popmarket for my copy. Feels good to not patronize Amazon. I do try so rigorously to avoid it.

What an absolutely infuriating format and joke of a price...
End stage capitalism plagues early 2000's post-hardcore band.

Sale prices are reflected once you add to cart. I was thinking that those prices were pretty garbage for being a sale but the displayed price on the product page is the regular price. Subtotal reflects sale total after you go to check out as well.

Cheapest shipping is $13.86. Goddamn. Still the only listing I've seen for the 2xLP as it is though and very fair base price for the record.

2LP Earache for $5.01 less than you wanted: https://webstore.earache.com/jesu-jesu-black-vinyl?search=jesu
5LP at amazon for $110: https://www.amazon.com/Jesu/dp/B09XR92H2X/ for those that are still looking,
SHIT, YES! Thank you so much. I totally tend to forget that Earache ends up having a lot of great titles in their shop that weren't ever actually put out by them. That's awesome! Thanks again!

Yeah. I'm really hoping to find a copy of the 2xLP remaster new in a store in the states but so far all I'm seeing is the 5xLP box from $99 to $130. Can't I just get the damn album for like $30 max? Damn.

Thank you! This reminded me to order. Threw in a copy of Turn On The Bright Lights by Interpol. I have one from around 2010 but I'm curious to hear how this current press sounds.
