Isn't that cute? an extra belly button
You need to put your pants back on, honey
Don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't want, don't want, don't want, don't want
Don't want no short short man
What in the world is that thing?
Do you need some tweezers to put that little thing away?
That has got to be
The smallest rrr- I've ever seen, in my whole life
Get the- outta here
 

If there were a thread solely dedicated to the Interscope Vinyl Collective to discuss these type of things…
Hmmmmm…

maybe time to say Goobye and Good Riddance to IVC?

"This copper record coated in .997 gold (24 karat) celebrates the song’s transition from dark to light and its message of inclusivity and understanding that we all sing along to with a common heart."
 
Charges $800

Reminds me of the corporations saying "we're all in this together" during COVID.

OK, I'm going to commit to it here: AotY for me is Wayfarer "American Gothic" - phenomenal release, and I haven't been able to get enough of it. 

Did Frank just play the long-game of creating years of scarcity and then dropping an open pre-order at a really high price that nobody’s really gonna say no to? If so, bravo.

The 300 LP option seems like a deal as it comes with 200,000 black records!

very interested in the story behind the company name, tbh

The deluxe collection SOLD OUT

Yeah, really just want the EPs, having previously copped the 3LP set. Kinda hoping they become available in the future, all the while knowing that if it happens they will somehow cost more than buying this set would now.

If there's a band that's the sonic equivalent of an adrenaline rush, it's Glassjaw. Hailing from Long Island, New York, these guys are the epitome of post-hardcore and alternative rock fusion. Formed in the '90s, Glassjaw have consistently delivered music that punches you in the gut and tugs at your heartstrings.
Glassjaw's music is a rollercoaster ride through raw emotion, with explosive guitar riffs, impassioned vocals, and lyrics that cut straight to the core of human experience. They've cultivated a dedicated following over the years, thanks to their intense live performances and the uncanny ability to capture the turmoil of life in their songs.
In their discography, you'll find gems like "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence" and "Worship and Tribute." These albums are sonic battlegrounds where introspection and chaos collide. Whether you're diving into the dissonant depths of "Siberian Kiss" or riding the cathartic wave of "Ape Dos Mil," Glassjaw's music leaves an indelible mark on your soul.
With their emotionally charged lyrics and dynamic soundscapes, Glassjaw tackles themes like love, loss, and the human condition. Each track feels like a raw confession, making you feel like you are sharing a deep, personal moment with the band.
Over the years, Glassjaw's lineup has shifted, but their commitment to crafting authentic, visceral music remains unwavering. Daryl Palumbo's distinctive vocals and Justin Beck's frenetic guitar work are the backbone of their sound. It's sound-crushing and cathartic, keeping fans hooked for decades.
Beyond the music, Glassjaw's artistic vision extends to their album artwork and merchandise. Their vinyl records aren't just auditory treasures but also visual ones. Each album cover is a piece of art in its own right, adding a tactile dimension to your music collection.
As you explore Glassjaw's vinyl records, you're not just adding music to your collection but inviting a piece of their passionate, visceral world into your life. Whether you're spinning their records at full volume in your living room or delicately examining the album art, Glassjaw's music is an experience that's meant to be felt as much as heard.
So, dive into the world of Glassjaw on vinyl and let their sonic intensity wash over you. It's more than music; it's a journey through the highs and lows of life, wrapped in the warm crackle of a vinyl record.

Y'all act like it's a fair price on purpose when their favorite number is 93. Just got lucky they didn't charge $1,993 for the gold and $193 for the white/black haha.

When mine comes in I may sell my MOV copy of W&T (depending on how these sound). I'll keep you in mind.

$93 for the set is a nice price in 2023. Not jumping on it though because I only need Our Color Green. Wish they would've had split up options.

McLusky put out a bad ass EP called Unpopular Parts of a Pig, the new IDLES single is super promising and I can't wait to hear their new album. Only 2 albums that didn't meet my expectations were the new Taking Back Sunday and new Spanish Love Songs records. I need to spend more time with the former, the latter has a strong first half and ending but the middle is a snoozefest. Hoping 2024 brings us a new Iron Chic record 🤞
