i'm right there with you keithlee. my red copy sounds horrible because of all of the pops, crackles, and surface noise. i've yet to spin my highlighter yellow copy, but i hope it doesn't have all of the extra noise like my red copy. it's really a pity about my copy, the music is so fucking killer, but it kinda gets ruined by the 'extra' noise.

EDIT: i'd like to add that both of my copies arrived in almost perfect condition with no rips in the jackets and only very very minor rips in the inner sleeves.

Am I the only one who finds it funny when late-teen/twenty-somethings go on a tirade about people not being "punk" enough or telling how "punk" they are on an internet message board for such an expensive and what is arguably one of the most "hipster" hobbies out there right now? for some people in this hobby, money is a factor in where we shop. If I can get record X for $5 at one place or for $20 at another place, you bet your sweet ass I'm going for the $5 shop no matter what the name of the store is.

I don't care what other products they sell in there. I'm not shopping for those other products. They could sell lemon flavored dildos and play dough toilet brushes for all I care. Do I like to support Indie stores? Sure. Is that possible for everyone? Nope. I live 2-1/2 hours from the closest Indie store. The owner is a dick and doesn't give a shit about anything released after 1975. I live an hour from the nearest hot topic that sells vinyl (and usually has something I want to buy). I'm going to hot topic 98% of the time.

I worked for the Musicland Group for years. In that time we were bought out by Best Buy, then sold to an investment company, and ultimately went through liquidation and closing. When Best Buy purchased the Musicland Group, they paid $290 million in cash for the company as well as paid off all debt for the company. 1 year later, we were $71 million in debt which is why Best Buy sold that portion of the company. It was clear to all of us who had been in the industry for a few years that Best Buy didn't give a shit about music. At least Hot Topic is making an earnest effort to get music that is in demand to their customers, something that can not be said about Best Buy.

Thank you, Travis, for all you do for the music fans who want to get their hands on the releases that you help make possible. If that's not "punk" enough for some people, maybe they need to grow up a little and realize it's not always about "fighting the man" or being cool.

Anyone want to buy an unplayed brown copy? Hit me up

guess i saw this a bit too late :-/

I can vouch for bgibbs in this case, 100%. One of his tour copies that he bought at the show is coming to me. I live in Arkansas and logistically, I was unable to make it to the show. The other member that he purchased for has been a mutual friend on various forums for years. Some forums relating to vinyl, some not. To assume that he specifically bought it to flip is nothing more than butthurt speaking. If you don't believe me either, then I'm not that arsed about it, but Jesus-titty-fucking-Christ, they're only records. Get over it. I guess you seem to have missed the part where he bought these directly from the band. It's their music and their product. If they don't care what he does with it, why should some kid on the internet who had no hand in creating the product being sold/bought/traded?

in for pink, yo

first class shipping was $4.28 for me here in arkansas

guess i'm the only one who thought that constants release looked and felt cheaply done. it is probably one of the biggest disappointments in my collection. after seeing how great the layout was for "the foundation the machine the ascension" and all of the hype about how sweet "if tomorrow the war" was going to be, i was expecting something nice. what i got felt like a 8th grade art project.

i don't mean to be a dick, but i'm just giving an honest opinion. the only thing that gives me a little hope about this is that ITTCT is an amazing band and that Charlie is doing the artwork.

thanks for the heads up on this. i lost interest in WoY for a while, but decided to check out the new album after hearing of David's untimely death. such an amazing record.

i don't have a good feeling about this. there has been no mention by Agalloch of these albums being repressed.

in for a blue!

GREAT album!

^^^^ i could not agree more!!!

only the xmas singles do they take forever to ship. in my experience at least

everything i've ever ordered from 10C took forever and a day to ship. my membership renewal took over a month to ship!

damn that was FAST for 10C shipping standards!

So are you saying the BCD copy IS the green copy, or are you just showing off?

i'm just being a dick and showing off

got mine from SL, but i thought shirtkiller also carried some of the green. whatever you do, avoid SL's blue collar distro site. they do NOT sell the same limited mail order colors that SL advertises on their site, no matter what the description says. been burned too many times by them and their 'descriptions'

in for a green. can't wait to spin this. i can't wait to get ANY of the recent Mylene Sheath preorders. what's the hold up!?

here's a post about the Junius/Rosetta split from Joel over on the sheath board:

QUICK UPDATE: these are still in Atlanta (since yesterday, and we're about two hours east in Athens), they'd BETTER arrive tomorrow. We'll pack them over the weekend and have them all out to you guys. Sorry for the delay, I'm pretty sure our distributor has already sent them out to record stores as they received their copies earlier this week. Kinda funny to think these are in record stores before we've even seen them! Ours came via freight, sloooooooooow freight that is

We'll post pics tomorrow when they show up!!

How come you didn't post the big image of the album art?

Press Release:

"Partners in crime Caravels and Gifts From Enola have been threatening to make a split album together for a couple years now, and luckily for all of us... they've finally made good on that threat. Harrisonburg, VA's Gifts From Enola offer up two razor sharp, hardcore-tinged, post-something rippers, pushing forward hard on the evolution of their sound from the critically acclaimed self-titled 2010 full length that included "touches of Thrice's well structured post-hardcore, Tortoise's experimental side and even a little Fugazi thrown in for good measure" according to Decibel Magazine and that Lambgoat called a "gorgeous kaleidoscope of guitar playing and overall musicianship". Meanwhile, Las Vegas, NV natives in Caravels continue to push their multi-textured brand of emotive hardcore into new and unexplored territory. And for a band "already on the cusp of greatness" as Punk News proclaimed, it's impossible to listen to these songs and not believe that they have lived up to that hype with these three tracks - their newest hybrids of old school screamo blended seamlessly with layered post-rock elements. Sure, there is a lot of screaming and yelling, and a lot of loud guitars and drums, and an overall aggressive tone to the body of work on this split, but the only absolute and true over riding common denominator is that both bands effortlessly defy easy classification, making this split both as challenging and as rewarding as they come.

The Gifts From Enola tracks were recorded by Will Benoit at Radar Studios (Junius, Cancer Conspiracy, Constants), while the Caravels tracks were cut at Earthling Studios with Mike Kamoo. Mastering duties were handled by Carl Saff (Grails, Young Widows, Tiny Vipers, The Black Heart Procession), with artwork handled by Charlie Wagers at Three Bears Design (mewithoutYou, Unwed Sailor, The Fray, Caspian). The album is set for a vinyl and digital release on January 24th, 2012 via Topshelf Records and The Mylene Sheath, respectively. Caravels appears courtesy of Topshelf Records, while Gifts From Enola appears courtesy of The Mylene Sheath. Each label will have exclusive colors of vinyl available for both mailorder and retail purchase, while the bands will have an exclusive color as well."

Just got this in the mail today and I couldn't be happier. I'm listening to World Coming Down right now and it sounds great. Roadrunner did a great job. RIP Peter Steele.

got mine today as well. spinning October Rust as I type this. SUPER stoked to have this.

just wanted to let you all know that the Sheath is having a sale today. up to 50% off all Sheath releases!

any way to tell how many copies J&R have left? that is an amazing deal with that coupon but neither my wife nor i can really afford to spend the money now. i'm wondering if waiting a week will blow my chances.

at the rate these things are going, i'd doubt they are still around in a week :-/

gotta admit, i would much rather have the vinyl the same color as the Dead Again green than the transparent green

any pics of this out yet? i really don't want to have to wait until monday to see this bad boy!

i posted some crappy pictures here
