Also same. They're not answering any e-mail, messages or comments. The listing has disappeared from the store, so maybe they just messed up and left it up after it sold out. Either way, at this point, I just want an acknowledgment and most likely, my money back.

Last time, everything I had shipped in vinyl mailers in a giant box, so I think they're getting better at it. The time before, it was pretty shitty packaging.

UO online has a bunch of $5 vinyl (though some have sold out), including "Static Prevails": http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/category.jsp?id=SALE-MUSIC&cm_sp=SALE-_-L2-_-SALE:SALE-MUSIC#/

If anything, I imagine it will sell even faster.

To go against the tide, I think the album is one of the best things the group has ever done. They didn't regress like some other bands of their ilk (Yellowcard comes to mind) and know how to alter their sound while still playing to their strengths. I wouldn't mind owning this on vinyl if it were like $14-15.

Ben mentioned on his Twitter how they were working on repressings, but with the amount of times I've heard that from artists, it's hard to say if anything comes of it.

The Clarity 2xLP was $30 and included a shirt. This is just ridiculous. I'd love to get it, but "Clarity" and "Invented" are more than sufficient.

He'll never reaching the soaring artistic heights of "New Again."

Yea, if he really wanted to restore faith, why not show the foreward cover of it actually printed? I probably just answered my own question.

True. That could be the case. I don't know, I have a blinding dislike of him so maybe that's it.

He didn't really explain much. He just said several times that they will refund anybody's money that wants it back, they have the test pressings (which they showed), they will still have the half-off sale and give away some type of Blink vinyl in the summer, it will have a hand-numbered written foreward by Mark Hoppus and that he realizes that it may have caused a "speed bump" in their reputation with people. Also, they're not getting rich off of records. So no release date, no explanation of past promises.

I don't know. I guess nothing RJ can do at this point can make me not hate him. The video seemed insincere and brushed over all the shit he's pulled over the past 6-8 months. I mean the never addressing e-mails while throwing a party and starting a merch site. I don't know. I'm biased, I guess.

This is the actual box. And that wasn't your wife - it was Kevin Spacey.

Yes I understand, my only point was people knew what he does business wise. especially people here. If people ordered this or any other MTS record an expected it to be on time, thats ridiculous. Its hasn't happened yet, learn from the past. I think its ridiculous to promise one thing and not have it and then to keep doing it over and over again is just a big slap in the face to everyone who supports him. My point was people knew this would happen, and complaining/whining will not come up with an update. Its only going to rush him into making an "update" to please people and it will get missed either because he is lying or because stuff happens. Either way. You'll get the update when there is something to update on. Sucks to wait but if hes openly refunding people its not like hes taking the money and running. I think everybody expected this to be delayed, no doubt. But I don't think anybody expected to be on this magnitude and this long. I mean it's like he's constantly trying to top himself with how terrible he can be to his customers. Promises on top of empty promises, no communication - he's never done it on a scale like this before, even when TDARIM was delayed several times.

Hey guys, I have a couple of vinyl records I got for Christmas and a couple I've had in the vault for awhile that I need to get rid of. I understand some people had problems with getting the HT versions of "Self-Titled" and BCR's LPs, so I'm putting them up. Not looking to flip, just need to get funds for some auto repairs (Note: Never buy a Pontiac Grand Prix). All of these are sealed and have never been listened to. If you want pics, I'll be glad to provide: Copeland - Beneath The Medicine Tree (180 Gram Black MTS 1st Pressing) Blink 182 - blink-182 (HT Version) Box Car Racer - S/T (HT Red Vinyl) Brand New - YFW (HT White Vinyl) Offers only. Sorry, no trades, unless it's like the Foo Fighters' IYH Box Set. Again, not looking to rip people off, will consider all offers. Obviously, no low-balling.
