Still a lot of reviews missing

Everyone that I had on my team has posted, I guess Lauren's list needs to be confirmed which I don't have access to. Do you know who is missing?

New variant for those who missed the first batch, clear with white splatter/700

This album art is dope as hell

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but I just figured this out and it's a pretty cool easter egg--there's actually a  secret message hidden in the title of the record, about what you should do if you ever find this album in your iTunes

Can't believe this album is what we get after 8 years of waiting. This is barely an Underoath record at all, just wow.  I fell for the meme.

Also if thought Rapture was bad, give Wake Me a whirl--it's somehow laughably worse

the prices just rose from $20 to $25 for the red and $22 to $30 for the tricolor.....

They completely got rid of the tri-color on my screen, even the picture. Weird.

I don't know if this actually helped but I logged into my VIP account and then tried again and it went through.

I tried that as well. Didn't work. Even downloaded two other random browsers to try. I've been paying $5 a month membership for like 3 years to JNR and I just cancelled it. This was supremely shitty.

If anyone has an extra copy or whatever, I'll buy it off you.

Use Internet Explorer. My Chrome/Firefox kept doing that disappearing thing.

Only 25 in stock...

I have a mac. I tried 4 browsers I have and it won't work. If I PM you my info would you mind ordering it for me? Cool if not

Well, I'm glad as hell I didn't jump on that bundle. Tri-color is /500 and available at JNR now:

Thanks, I'll change my post. When you add it to the cart does it disappear for you as well? It adds fine but then when I check my cart it shows for a second then deletes itself. 

His first solo record was one of my favorites last year. First single is really good. Looking forward to this a lot.

Richard Edwards has a new album, Verdugo, out June 1, 2018.

Three different vinyl options; black, red, and a neat hand-numbered tri-color gated behind a $75 package. http://richardedwards.bigcartel.com/ or https://www.joyfulnoiserecordings.com/products/verdugo

First single, Minefield

Who’s going to put out the 10th anniversary first vinyl pressing of “Razia’s Shadow” this year?

Please please please. I listened to it for the first time in a long time last year and for me I don't think it holds up as well as it once did, but it was a really cool concept pretty well executed. I'd love to see this on vinyl

Welcome to the community! I found this place on a friend's recommendation, and while I don't post that often, I enjoy finding out about new releases and good deals through here. Also, there's a lot of good knowledge about setups here and things like that. 

That'll be enough of that. We only shit on new people here at VC

tracks 6-11 are some of the best stuff the band has ever done

Funny, there are a couple reviews of the album floating out there and one specifically states the opposite--the first half is memorable while the second stumbles. I think you and I have somewhat similar taste though so I'm not completely let down now

Rapture just played on BBC radio... yikes

Pretty much all of R.E.M.

Me too. Just getting into it. Thanks, Scott and Scott.

While it wouldn't be the end of the world for someone to give you a basic answer here, I would suggest that instead of waiting, if you have these questions to seek someone out in your area and build a personal relationship with them. A lot of people put off meeting with an adviser because they don't want to meet now when they're planning to do something in the future. Well, a lot of the time what ends up happening is that plans change a year from now and the meeting gets put of for another year, etc etc. Best time is always now.

Most advisers advise for free (only making money off of the things you decide to do with your money), and this way helps you and them to build a rapport and trust between each other so that they can follow you through your decisions and make sure things are going well for you over a period of time instead of a one-time suggestion over the internet. Fact of the matter is is that it's tough to give you a definitive answer without knowing much more about you, your preferences and risk tolerance, and where the rest of your finances lie. That's what I told all my clients when I was an adviser, anyway.

Hope this wasn't too soapboxy--just want things to work out well for ya, it's important.

Thank you I couldn't figure out why they'd pick that variant as the failure when such an easy target is right there.

I thought about it, but at the end of the day black is black, transparent or not. This "acid" green is probably going to sound way cooler than it turns out to be, plus I assumed it's more than likely the color more people will buy just for the looks. 

Couldn't tell both jokes, so I had to pick. I guess ethereal just got the better liked half. Can't win 'em all!

This thread is really going to be hilarious when all the acid greens inevitably come in as some underwhelming color

So this is the original singer? Not Spencer?

Spencer and Aaron

Not the greatest song I've ever heard, but I really like it. Aaron doesn't bother me as much as I thought he would. His vocals sound like this is how Disambiguation would have sounded if he was still part of the band, which I like. 

Oh hell yes. I knew this was imminent. One of my favorite bands ever, I'm so excited. Although I did prefer Underoath more minus Aaron's vocals. The drumming on Disambiguation was really great as well. 

Confirmed in a Facebook post that the upcoming box set will just be the first three albums (on black vinyl with some extras), so I really don't understand why it didn't all go up at once. No big deal, though, just weird. 

"There's also a box set in the works. The box set will include the first 3 records, plus additional b-sides, demos, exclusives and expanded artwork. More than what is currently included in the separate vinyl packages. It will be all 180 gram black vinyl. More on that soon!"
