Always seems like one or the other. I didn't enjoy any of their hardcore releases and apparently the band doesn't enjoy them too much either. I definitely became a big fan with Rare and everything after but I can understand why old fans wouldn't be into the change.

The couple solo tracks he dropped really did nothing for me.  That last hundredth single was good though.
 

Your post reeks of “if it isn’t on black vinyl I won’t bother” which is a pretty broad stance that reveals your true colors as a collector first, music enthusiast second.  In this particular case, sure, $40 for a single LP is gross… but that I think that’s gross regardless of whether it’s limited, colored, numbered, etc.
Ultimately you would have had no issue paying $40 for that same LP if it was on anything but black vinyl (😂) but since it’s “just” black wax, it can be bought… someday.  Which is fine.  I’m absolutely not arguing that $40 records - especially without any bells, whistles, or in limited editions - can be found on Discogs months or years later.  And that seems pragmatic to me.  I’ve done that before.  It’s smart.
But intended or not, your post makes you sound like the kinda’ guy who would enjoy an artist deeply - while pretending they’re a fan of vinyl - but forgo owning any of their records since they’ve only ever been pressed on black vinyl.  And I guess I just need you to know how incredibly fucking dumb that is.  I’m not talking about $40 or $150 Kickstarters.  I’m talking about the bevy of music out there that’s only ever been pressed on black vinyl, without a limited edition, and is available to spin for something in the $15-$30 price range.
I know your tastes are pigeonholed exclusively to things sold on Deathwish or bands that fall into a “-core” genre, so you’ll have to take my word for it; there’s a lot of those “gross” or “boring” black records out there that contain some genuinely good music.  To shrug it all off and say “eh I’ll just stream it until a ~limited edition splatter variant /200~ becomes available” is some peak Reddit cringe, where I’ve literally seen comments that [unironically] read “ewww black vinyl. 🤣”
You’ve been a part of the forums for a long time, so I know you’re not really a tourist to the hobby.  I’m just letting you know that you sound like one, or are admitting to being one.

Just checking in to make sure you knew that black vinyl can be spun on a turntable, and actually sounds pretty good.  (In case you’ve never given it a shot.)  I love me a good variant as much as the next guy but vinyl is a music medium more than it is a Funko Pop.

Black dogs is really good also if you haven’t checked it out. I’m listening to it now and I love it. 

Lowered is my favorite vocal performance from both Greg and Reba.

Same feelings on their catalog

it's up!

I don’t have any. I was the one who created this thread back in 2011 because I wanted it on vinyl so bad! It finally happened and I missed every pressing. 
So, no, I don’t have a copy to trade, but if you decide to sell it outright please let me know. I need to own this on vinyl. 

I got an extra pink coming in that if anyone has a blue and wants to trade for it plus some cash, please hit me up.
 
 

At this point HIL has been selling out of all vinyl released so I wouldn't surprised if Unoriginal eventually drops SOTP.

Next Single Dropped

I've heard a good chunk of it. it's a normal greyhaven record. it's dynamic. like their past two releases they push the needle either way at a moment's notice. 

I love the new single.
 
I've heard a good amount of the new record and can confirm they don't all sound like 90's rock tunes, there are absolutely a lot of disgustingly heavy songs on it.  
 
You should enjoy the range of this band.

I asked unoriginal vinyl and their response was "We're sworn to secrecy, but the number is lower than you would expect"

Truly the only record I want to be pressed out of this vagrant celebration
 

exactly. White Lighters is a chillish song but fucking rules and gives the record the space it needed. They've always had strong dynamics on everything they've put out which is why I appreciate them so much. 

I love the new single.

Yeah I haven't been able to get into anything they've released since Meds either. 

I want to like this so much but I'm not digging the singles and Placebo has been losing me more and more after they released Meds.
