The “be patient” urgings/condescension in this thread is aging poorly. So am I while I wait to own a copy of this.

It basically just sounds like Small Brown Bike, which is to say it fuckin' rules.

the band's merch table, on tour.

Another year full of boomer and semi-novelty mainstream tripe that will be available for several years after the fact on clearance no less.
 
It's nuts to think there was a time bands like OFF!, Luther, AJJ, and Dads would put out RSD stuff, these last 5 years are straight up directed at people who think Wal-Mart Exclusive pressings are something they should collect.

when did this thread go from dumping on Ross for all the shady business practices to praising them for their releases? 

Right on. Also, not sure what a "bu dream" is, but what I tried to type was bundle 🤷 damn you, autocorrect!

When I read the description on Newbury Comics it said this was their third album and thought "wow that was a steep drop off in quality..."

I’m a full fucking idiot and all of this confuses the shit out of me.

Discogs should add a field so you can record how much you paid for a record and upload a receipt. 

Yeah.  I don't sell frequently enough (or in large enough volumes) to really be "stung" by this.  It's the principle I find to be the biggest pain in the dick.  An additional 15% cut [on profits] on top of sales tax?  On top of Paypal fees?  And submission of paperwork for the ~10-15 records I may sell throughout a calendar year?  Fuck right off.

Miss this band. 

Well here I am living this discussion out. My 4 year old and I made the Seth Meyers appearance our first video of the morning and followed it up with the H5Six record release show. Since I only occasionally dip a toe in the hardcore pool I had never given them a chance before hearing “Mystery”. I downloaded the album and didn’t like much else, finding it akin to when Minus The Bear got a new electronic toy and shoehorned awkwardly into everything. Subsequently I was riding with him in the truck and played “Mystery” and he was JAMMIN in the car seat. I was making a turn as the song ended and “Blackout” started. I went to change it to something else (he also really loves Fiddlehead) and he got upset and said, “Hey! I liked that!” So we listened to the rest and he loved almost all of it. Now since that day we listen to most of the album every day at some point. He’s in love. “We need to get this record, da-da!” he says. And so I wait for this black repress to go back up. Preorder from Flight 13 is the backup plan.

I want to hear a couple 3-4 year olds tell each other, “see you in the pit!”
 
We just finished a woods hike. It was in my head the whole time. All I have to do is go “and it’s been so long”, and he immediately follows with “all the mystery’s GONE”, also with dinosaur-like aplomb (and again, the air mic, which really ties the whole thing together).

With the butt flaps.

Move over Peppa Pig

This is wild, I didn't expect to hear stories similar to my experience in a vinyl forum. My 3.5 year old is obsessed with Mystery and requests it daily. We've started to let the record play out and he asks the name of every song as it comes on and he seriously rocks out to it. He sings Mystery sometimes out of nowhere with no music going. When it IS playing he sings along and then roars like a dinosaur during "ALL THE MYSTERY!"

I always suspected that Turnstile resonates with 4 year-olds but this was a heartwarming read, thanks for sharing.

My 1.5 year old also jams to it. She mostly just runs in circles and kicks at the same time.

Start em young. 

You sound like a great dad; this made me smile
