    Loved Mondo, don't love VMP. Huge bummer for me personally.

    I'm interested to see how it goes. I've almost always received really good sounding records from VMP, while Mondo didn't have the best track record for that. So, I'm hoping that it'll be the good parts of Mondo (cool album art) with the good parts of VMP (pretty good sounding records). Unfortunately, both companies have always been pretty overpriced, so I expect that will continue.

    I own the OG and have tried multiple times and I just can’t get into chino on vocals for this. It’s never worked for me. 

    Kind of the same here. It’s been a while since I’ve listened to it so I’ll have to give it another listen, but I remember being so excited for this when it was first announced, being a big fan of everyone’s previous work, but then it never quite clicked for me or lived up to the expectations of how good I thought it should be. But, I probably had unfair expectations of it.

    Didn’t they say that it was a one-time press of 850 total?  Now that wording seems to have vanished and there’s a 2nd press up for PO.

    From their Twitter:

    “The response to this record has been really overwhelming, we are gonna go ahead with a second pressing of 500. Same as always mailing list will get first crack at it.”

  4. I got in the NOFX - Double Album with the slipcase the other day, and it's a lot nicer than I was expecting. I was half expecting it to be a thin cardboard slipcase, like the Face To Face set of their early Fat Wreck albums. But, it's a pretty solid, heavy boxset case. The music, on the other hand, is a bit underwhelming. But at least I expected that.

    Public sale had seat ticket prices through the roof...  like minimum fan to fan resale was at least $250.  Pit seats were $2000...  Somehow I don't believe that's how much they were on Wednesday.

    Ended up grabbing a few lawn tickets.

    I checked out a few songs and thought it was cool, so I clicked on a couple of the links to check out the different colors, and the LP is only $12!? I felt like I must have been reading something wrong because I haven’t ordered a record for that cheap in years.
