More are probably getting posted as the day goes on 

I still think it's hilarious Barnes and Noble had a "dookie" shit color as an exclusive. 

They don't come with a booklet though. Might as well just toss them in the trash. Stop thinking and start consuming damnit! 

Like four records I've preordered have been delayed. I wonder why.

Speaking of zia, they have a preorder up

You're saying what most of us are thinking 🤷 it absolutely sucks that our little niche hobby is now a normal thing. It's marketed towards the average consumer who's dumb as fuck.
 
50 dollars for a record because the vinyl isn't black or they stamped the back of it is perfectly normal for a consoomer. Most of of those records just end up as wall decorations or if they're lucky get a photoshoot with a Crosley cruiser that cost the same as the record.

Nah fuck that! I'd rather spend more than twice that amount to insure I get a small folded poster that'll stay in the sleeve forever and an additional insert that will also stay in the sleeve forever.  I bet they didn't even stamp the insert with gold foil!

I guess that's why it's important to draw a line in the sand and vote with your wallet.  Because that shit's a slippery slope.  We can balk at Chino and the gang asking $75 + shipping for a double LP with a folded poster, and assume it's just an outrageous exception that surely wouldn't become the norm.
But inevitably, a few more artists and labels will get inspired to follow suit.
And before you know it, 2024 rolls around and it's "welllll it's not $90 for a double LP, so $50 is much more reasonable.  Seems normal for today's economic climate."
The technology behind a vinyl record and how it's played isn't improving.  The packaging nor presentation are being reinvented to justify these prices.  And press quality is more hit-and-miss than ever, especially as pressing plants continue to scramble to meet demand.  There should be no real reason that prices are inflating this bad.  Straight up.  It's greed, and too many people are game to comply in an effort to prove their fandom or avoid missing out [😨] and paying resale prices.  Labels know this.  I imagine that in the history of vinyl production, profit margins have never been fatter than they are right now, for any artists getting away with $40-70+ for a single LP / double LP.
I just think it's a dangerous game to play.  At what point do we call it?  When a double LP is $50 on average?  $60?  $70?

She fucking hates me
 

I ordered the most limited variant of Dimensional Bleed through them and instead of having it canceled for being oversold it automatically changed to the standard variant. It was my own personal 9/11.

Nah. I emailed them saying what happened and they said that the order said coke bottle so 🤷 
 
Still managed to get an equally limited one from zia. No harm no foul. 

Seeing them would be amazing. I missed out 9 years ago.

47.99 for this on sale for this album is absolutely fucking insane. That's not even a tenth of what this album is worth.

I'm ordering directly from the band. Not touching merchnow and don't trust wax Bodega anymore lol.
