Thanks, I didn't know this

Maybe I'm daft and am just not understanding the post, but is The Fox supposed to act as Act VI? The way it's worded makes it seem as if it may be entirely orchestral and regardless it seems strange to send a six-act series with an album without the chronology in it.

I'm completely with you, in fact my first draft of the post was about overpriced bundles but I figured it was more prudent to remain neutral in a topic. Totally ridiculous though

New album by Local Natives out April 26. Lots of bundles as well as regular and deluxe versions of the record here: https://store.thelocalnatives.com/collections/violet-street First two singles, Cafe Amarillo and When Am I Gonna Lose You

There's like a 0% chance of this but if anyone grabbed up that VIP or an extra or whatever, or if it goes up again, let me know please. I somehow missed the announcement of this and it was long gone before I got there.

New album by Kishi Bashi out May 31. Preorders via Joyful Noise. https://www.joyfulnoiserecordings.com/products/omoiyari White, black, and a swirl that was already sold out by the time I found out about this. RIP First single is the beautiful Summer of '42.

Shipping is hilariously $10 by the way

It's all up. Orange is "limited" but doesn't say how much. Wonder if I should just wait that variant out or not, see if it pops up somewhere else. https://fotb.store/

$32.98..........................

That's kinda how I feel, I think the album is just alright. Don't see it making it into my rotation too much.

Thank you, was able to get one. I miss Harris so much man. Funniest guy on CBB for my money.

Ah, I see. Thanks. As shitty as this is I would rather not deal with all that. Been hard enough getting hold of anyone to begin with. Take my lumps and move on I guess

Did anybody get a resolution to this?

Yessssss. Can't WAIT Here's the new song by the way:

This album is spectacular. I'm so happy

Don't we already know one of the tracks is named Harmony Hall, not Hate Heart? Right off the bat that listing isn't accurate. Either way I'm ready for this 6 year Vampire Weekend drought to end. Very excited

Thanks to my buddy @N8TRU1 I figured out my imgur issues but an album has obviously since been posted. My pictures don't elucidate much further except for one illustrating how dirty the records came to me. Thanks @mmhmm for posting in my stead

For not seeing anything this is incredibly accurate

I appreciate all the email warriors doing the legwork here, I'm waiting this out to see the best way to take care of this

I took pictures but I cannot for the life of me get imgur to work today. Nothing will upload

Sorry, I thought I'd be home today but now I actually won't be until Thursday. It's not worth this anticipation, I'm telling you right now. It's probably only bad if you have $100 invested in this BS

I will post pictures when I get back to my house tomorrow. I don't expect thing of value to come from emailing Alcopop, but let me know what you all hear. I paid with PayPal so I'll have to research tomorrow to see what the limits of that are. I've never once in my life filed a claim for anything, but this set is so stupid I think I'm gonna.

Forgot to mention a great part of this, the "cover" for the """""""""box set""""""""" (again, just folded thick photo paper) is a promo picture not from this album, but from Everything Is Debatable. 5 years old.

Yeah, and I'm sick of this happening with this H O B B Y in particular. I don't know why they're always allowed to do things like this under the guise of "production issues", and we're just supposed to accept it. There are threads like this all the time. It's not at all what I paid for. I'll be interested to see everyone else's thoughts on this once they get theirs... I'm willing to accept the fact I may just be an ass

I just got my box set in the mail. I am incredibly upset. Firstly, the way they packed this was loose in a much bigger box so it came SUPER damaged. So badly in fact, that USPS actually had a separate notification tacked onto it that it was received in bad condition. What didn't help was the fact that the packaging for the set is incredibly chincy to begin with. It's all kept together with a single piece of photo paper used as a band to keep all the 7 inches together. Now let's talk about what was promised and what it didn't come with: "Each track from the record is presented on its own clear 7” with separate artwork for the track..." -- Did not come with any artwork AT ALL. Got an envelope with 4 pictures from the music video in it. Not artwork, and certainly not "for each track." Each record is a clear 7" with the same black and white center label encased in a cheap piece of thin plastic "– with a signed note from Forrest included..." No note included. It's 1 cent cardboard beverage coaster with a signature on it "and individual limited number..." Not numbered anywhere "You’ll never pick up a greater release. GOFORIT!" This was a terrible release. Not worth it in my opinion at all. Complete waste of money.
