This place is getting as bad as reddit.

Agreed - as in relax. This is a thread for a great band that doesn't take themselves too seriously. Stop complaining or at least complain like this:
This sucks!
I suck...
Oh. And 988.

I'll only buy if its a Flynn pic disc with him on 4 sides. 

Must be nice!

I love that people have these before the Kickstarters. Figures.

Nah it's more important that it's limited and looks good, that's the consensus around here.

That means you open it up and you play it and are able to hear it. I was looking at some albums today, not that long till they're out and others only just out in the last few months and not only do I see terms like sold out and limited and varients but I see people doing trades. Then I browse the very few music forums I bother with including this one and I see these same terms and what I did was I looked at these albums that have sold out in just a few months and also to the ones coming out and it's the same kind of thing. This one will be numbered, this one will be red but this other black varient is only 1000 copies.
 
 
Really? Is that what music is now? That to me means it's shit. How can any company or label with a straight face say they care about the music they are releasing when they stick a number on each one, different colours on each one and then places like this talk about it so you end up with all these people buying the damn things just for the sake of it having it as a collectable. Don't get me wrong, if i owned a label, i'd take every penny I could get out of all you people. You deserve to have your money taken out of your pocket, you deserve to be ripped off, you deserve to pay $30 for a piece of cheap PVC plastic stuck inside some cheap cardboard cover. If i was them I'd do the same damned thing because obviously hand written numbers and colours and limited pressings means more than buying something because you want it and it's going to give you pleasure to listen to it.
 
 
I applaud the bootleggers. I wish they would do more. Paragon done some great bootlegs over the last few years with regards to 12" singles. What we need is more bootleggers to start pressing albums and sell them fast and cheap. Let's face it, major labels are just gonna stick the same CD master onto the record anyway, it's not like they're gonna spend any time making sure Katy Perry sounds good on vinyl so I think we need to go back to the 1990s where the white label was king and you all know that anyway. You know the albums you buy from Amazon are just as good as any bootleg, you fool yourselves into believing you're getting something better but it really isn't. I'd rather that than be told there is only 1000 copies of an album being pressed but oh no....that's just a colour, if you want it on black vinyl well, you're screwed cause that sold out in so many hours but don't worry you can still buy some on white vinyl from this cowboy website in America and pay lots of shipping on top of the premium price because remember it's limited!  We could easily press 5 or 6000 of them but we'd rather fuck you up the ass and get what we can while we can. What an insult to me and my fellow music fans.
 
 
It's all money money money. Anytime i read the word varient or hand numbered or limited I will think of the word money because that's all it is about. And don't any of you lot think I'm on your side, I told you people not that long ago it was your fault for killing off the 7" and 12" single and now through sheer greed and ignorance you're starting to kill off the album LP. Shame on all of you that buy into all this hype and talk and throw your money at these money hungry labels. And you can badmouth me all you want like you tried to do last time because I mentioned I liked popular music and this place thrives on guitar driven music and lets sit barefoot singing a song about love and peace and the thing is, at least with my music, i don't need a million options, I don't need money taken from my bank account months in advance because some geek who has more money than sense decides to dive in and buy it for the sake of making a quick buck rather than giving it to me, someone who actually wants it for the right reasons. When Eminem's MMLP2 gets released in a few weeks, and it will be on vinyl in the UK, no word on the US yet. At least I know i can not only buy it on release but I can buy it at Christmas, next year even, maybe next Christmas or Christmas 2015 because real labels don't just pick a number out of thin air, they keep pressing them and keep making them available to suit the demand. It's like the 100,000 copies of Justin Timberlake's 20/20 album. Those copies will last years. That's how it should be done. Infact I don't even want any replies in this thread, I just had to get that off my chest and let you people know what I think and what I think is right, I'm always right so don't try and argue back at me because you know I'm right and I don't care what the excuses are, It's BS and it ruins the very thought of buying a musical album. Music was never about that and it should never be about that.No one should ever have to feel pressured about buying an album because oh no if you don't buy it now then you can't later. All this stuff about colours is rubbish too, no coloured vinyl was ever superior to black virgin vinyl. Hand numbering? That's fine as long as you keep making them, you don't just stop after a certain number, if the demand is there then you keep going, you don't force people onto Ebay or Discogs. Or you do what the big labels do, you press plenty and you do it on black vinyl and you ship it everywhere you can.

As much as i like this band, they aren't that great live. I don't think i would listen to this much, maybe once every 10 years for the nostalgia.

Absolutely zero you could have done about this, Todd. I don't think anyone is going to cause a stink over it.
Although, I thought the same thing about coaching a 5 year old soccer team. Some people just fucking love to cause a stink. . .
With that said I can't wait to get my set. I really appreciate all the effort, and the communication throughout every effort. Quite literally no one does these things like everyone in your camp does.
Seems like an excessive amount of does's.

Probably the easiest $1000 a person can make, sucks for people who actually would have appreciated the tests. 

For all the audiophiles out there whining about color talk, this shit sounds really good.  If it hasn't been said yet it spins at 45rpm, which is always a huge plus.

Got two, one to put on the wall in my bedroom and the other for the living room. Thinking of getting a third for the foyer.

So, last 2 pages only (and this one isn't finished yet):
 
8 comments about colorways and 3 about the music itself.
 
As usual, good job, VC!

So can anyone comment on how the record sounds or are you all to busy looking at them?

Same, thats why i had to build one of these. Unfortunately i have to build a second one since it doesn't fit all my records. 
 

To me this feels almost like a sequel to in reverie. I like it a lot and cant wait to see them live next month.  

Why the fuck did bow ties get so trendy again? Bow Ties only look good on babies and old dudes like Bill Nye. 

This is how i imagine most people in this thread.
