got mine up on ebay !

technically, its a thong

Man, you and Mr. ">25" need to get a life. You guys remind me of those dudes who get to the flea market at 5am with flashlights and then block anyone else from looking through the stack once the sun comes up. Because obviously THOSE people don't know shit, otherwise they would have gotten there earlier. Or maybe you're those mouth-breathing losers who stand in the record store looking up the going rate for whateverthefuck limited EP on your phones, only putting it back once you're sure some other fool won't get something valuable.
 
Maybe you're not either of those. Maybe you're just regular, run of the mill assholes. Look, I've been buying records for many, many years. And I know that with any hobby, and especially this one, there are always going to be elitists and people who think the amount of shit in their collection puts them a level up. And to an extent, maybe it can even be justified. I've been reading this board for a long time. I bought some cool records from Virgil back when there was a store here. Back when Gaslight was good. I've been clued in on some really neat things that I definitely would have missed otherwise, because I just don't really have the time to scavenge the internet for pre-orders. This place is great. I really dig the help you all offer one another when it comes to finding things or shipping them or going to a show and buying a tour exclusive for someone who really wants it. That's awesome, and I thought that was the point of this place. But there's a limit to that fraternity, isn't there. That isn't available to someone who just got here because obviously, they haven't put in as much time and money as you, right? Therefore, fuck them. That's cool, and it's your prerogative to think on those terms.
 
But you have to understand that it makes you a jerkoff. You have to realize that. Basically, I think it's important to remember that you're posting in a thread about a Fall Out Boy record being sold at Hot Topic. So with that in mind, I'm seriously suggesting that you take a step back and get the fuck over yourselves.

I'm from another country, and I was collecting money for few weeks to buy freaking tre and freaking cork tree with superhigh $60 shipping. And now i feel like someone violate me with his leg stiking up my ass.

DID ANY OF YOU TRYING SEARCHING FOR VINYL? IT WORK!

far from an SRC apologist (the subscription ), but lets just say for example's sake that all of your numbers are correct. well, if someone is sinking $12,000+ into reissuing a record that is 18 years old - i cant really fault them for wanting to make some $$$ for their effort. youre also forgetting to compensate for whatever overhead (office, employee(s), utilities and so forth) that they may have.
 
now lets take a neurosis 2xlp that is $40 plus shipping or a $40 mineral record because its on blue and limited to 50. nooow we can talk about suspected price gouging. ive got a limit like everyone else and $21.99 does push close to that threshhold but, in fairness, its not nearly as egregious as some other releases ive seen lately.

Seeing these makes me think our ability to create anything on demand is not far off.
 
The future is dope as fuck.

i'm gonna regret even responding to this now that its turned into a giant playground slapfight but I can't help but find it sort of interesting that the people who lucked out and have non-distorted copies are somehow personally offended that others did not and have used the most appropriate place here to discuss it.
 
I definitely got one of the distorted ones and whether its due to 1) not enough deadwax 2) cartridge misalignment 3) black magic, it's sort of irrelevant because at the end of that argument my Side A still sounds hot and distorted. 
 
The snobbery and bullshit attitude from a few of you is the exact reason why so many people find vinyl collectors to be smug elitists and generally resent us and this entire culture that for most is about appreciating hi-fi audio and not just being a douche. You may not care one way or another (and i'm sure you'll be quick to reply that you don't) but it does no good for anyone to be that way. 

I figured that was old news. Has no one else pried out and glued together their ATF shards?

I hate starting rumors but just wanted to pass this on.
I got a clear copy, and accidentally broke it, but low and behold there was a secret 7" inside with unreleased songs. It's amazing, i recommend breaking your converge records to see if yours has the super secret 7"

I feel like you've misjudged the internet.

You always capitalize verbs in titles.

You sound like the inexperienced kid to me.
I'm 35, have been collecting vinyl for 20 years, have a $2000 turntable and a $1500 all tube amp. I have 4000 vinyl LPs.
Vinyl is not supposed to sound "distorted/fuzzed out". It's supposed to be superior sonically in every way to digital, save for surface noise on the LP. We are not discussing surface noise. We are discussing mastering/pressing defects. If you don't understand it, there's no need to contribute.

Get this rational thought out of here and buy more colors!

Very underappreciated line here.
