Have all versions of Today's Empires shipped?  I've seen many pictures in the wild, but I haven't received a shipping notification.  Just want to make sure I'm not missing something.

I received a shipping notice this morning about my color version from FAT. You’ll probably see something in a day or two 

All my 7” because I hate flipping records and  my 45 rpm records because I’m lazy and hate taking the platter off of my rega to adjust the speed belt 

Hopefully this means that a large repressing of this is happening and we get a regular black and some different colors so it’s not a pain to find after Xmas 

Orange sold out. Only autographed copies of color variants available now. 

Blue is sold out 

It’s the same pressing. He’s said that as long as there is demand, he’ll keep pressing copies so no one has to buy it second hand 

Ordered a blue, the price stings, but I love this band. I slept on ordering the last album and now it’s hard to find and expensive, didn’t want to repeat. 

Waiting for an archive release from 93-94

I can finally snag Anthology for a fair price. Very cool to see the hydra head bands move on like Cave In signing with Relapse and now this. 

I’ve got the blue Pallas that I bought at Hot Topic back in the day for around $20. Think I’ll just stick with that one. That 7” is pretty cool though. Would love to hear a side by side with a Pallas press against this new pressing

Nice to see the pressing plants getting clogged up with a bunch of future clearance rack material

This was my exact thought to, “so this is why record plants have been clogged up?!” Smh 

Garbage list this year. My wallet is stoked. 

Wondering the same question about the mix, already have the colored boxset 🤔

I was going to order a copy, but my girl beat me to the punch and already ordered the UO variant when I asked what copy I should get. It’s a certified banger record if she’s front running this on me, she is a casual vinyl buyer, unlike us degenerates on these boards, myself definitely included 

Any word? 

Much better than Interiors. Played it through twice in a row. The drumming has been taken up a notch, they sound like they’ve hit their stride .

My first (of way too many) copy showed up today and I gave it a quick spin. Looking forward to spending some more time with it but first impression is that it has a heavy 70s surf rock feel to it and I love it. I think it fits perfectly in between Hectic World / Ride The Wild and the Fat EP or Milo Goes to College. Anyone who wasn’t paying attention to what it was when they ordered this and is expecting a “new” Descendents record will be in for a big surprise. 

 

This being the original lineup was the major selling point for me. Their original sound has never really been duplicated that well, but as soon as I heard the first new track, it instantly had that “thing” that I guess only the 4 of these guys in a room together can yield. Can’t wait to spin this! 

Echoing sentiment, new song is great, but I won’t be hunting any variants, but I will keep my eye out for the retail version when it hits the streets.

It’s so sad and unexpected.

 

What’s really crazy, I was at the last Hum show with Bryan on drums. 

I was thinking about this also, was Dia de Los Deftones his last live performance? 

Sounds like the 3 album together bundle is a tour only option that you pick up at the show you attend ( ala: the white material control tour variant) and there will be separate versions (with alternate covers?) available through Brooklyn Vegan on their webstore, if I’m reading this right? 

Plot twist: live at the Forum is the full Coloring Book performance 

There’s also a banner on the site with the 3 colors in circles with the line “have a great day in about a year from now” meaning a long pre order in our future 

Very excited for a live release. I know Gj live isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I appreciate the improv’s he does with the lyrics and the general chaos of the live guitars. If the bass and drums are solid sonically, this should be great
