Why would this be fake? Who is bootlegging low-mid level emo albums from the mid 2000s?

Not another one!  I already have 8 of these

I got mine in yesterday, was probably one of the first. I'll open it and upload pics for you tonight.

Welcome to preorders at SRC. Also, there has got to be a thread for this already.

Amazon digital has a deluxe version with 15 songs! This album is going to rip! Norma Jean and ETID within weeks of each other, yea dude!

Hot Topic Travis...?  Or Barker?

in the same position. shhhh

seriously how is the quality of this??? I  don't want the instrumentals and crazy range on vocals to be cheated

If you use code SUMMERSALE it takes an additional 15% off making it 10.20 before shipping.
Edit: and shipping is 7 fucking dollars WOMP WOMP

Agreed, I just wanted what I paid for, in the end it's the same music, and I walked away with a free Thrice record so all's well ends well.

After spending the last 4 days with this album on non-stop rotation heres my breakdown
 
Hurricane- This is one of the many reason I love Thrice, probably one of the best songs they've written since Alchemy, in my opinion blows anything off M/m out of the water, great opening track and my favorite from the album.
Blood on the Sand- Took a long time to grow on me, not bad, not great still pretty ambivalent towards it 
The Window- One of the weaker tracks not bad by any means just not a stand out track in my opinion
Wake Up- I actually really like this track, it seems not many do, i like the funkyness of it by no means is it a strong track but I enjoy it
The Long Defeat- Another track i like that seems many people don't, it's nothing special but it's a pretty good song
Seneca- the verdict is still out for me on this, I like the atmospheric feel of the song but it's just a filler track
Black Honey- Probably the strongest hardest track on this album, I liked it the moment i heard it
Stay With Me- Lyrics are a little annoying but it's a good song
Death From Above- Super political as is much of the album but probably the closest to "old" Thrice on the album
Whistleblower- I dig this track a lot, it's fast and aggressive and I like that, lyrics are corn ball though
Salt and Shadow- LOVE THIS TRACK! Got a Bon Iver feel to it and I dig that, great book ends on this album the first and last song on the album are fantastic ways to open and close a fairly sub par album from Thrice
 
 
Also fuck that dick hole who got a smoke and didn't order it, I hope his stylus breaks! 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Overall the packaging is really nice, the lyric book is full sized 11x11 and bound together by string. The jacket a bit heaver than a normal single jacket and the record sleeve is standard black. Vinyl itself is 176 grams (I have a food scale at work) not that it matters but I checked for shits and giggles and comes with a download card. 

The days of aggressive Paper Tigers are gone, after my first two initial listens I'd say it's more in the vein of M/m with some Alchemy thrown in there. I'm not sure if it was my low expectations because of the first 3 released songs but I'm honestly enjoying the shit out of this album so far. Hurricane is the best song on the album but I can see a few others making their way to the top. Musically it's some of the best I've heard from Thrice in a long time, lyrically it's very political and I feel has a lot of deeper meanings rooted in politics. So far digging it more than M/m. 

I'd love to see IWTOC get a proper pressing, I have it one this muddy green color with a thin sheet of paper as the jacket. I put a piece of cardboard in it to hopefully prevent ring wear. I'd also like to see a proper press for bsides remix, I have that in just a white sleeve, almost kinda pissed me off hahaha Lastly, I received HR and LS on Monday aside from some minor dings they arrived safely!  

Is that enough?
Or is it that they're not punk enough?
Or is it that you think ska just sucks ?

Well I really don't know if it matters at all so, but they try to keep the prices low for their records and their shows.

Great! I'm in New York so hopefully they'll show up in the next few days! Excitement builds!

I look forward to this time of the year just to see all the newbies come in and start threads just like this.

There's what like 200+ different pressings of The Wall including box sets. You might have your Crosley set to the wrong speed.

Mine was ETR.

Great bump, would read again.
