Can’t wait to spin my copies. Everything Matt touches regarding Earth Analog Studios sounds massive. I’m pretty sure SRC just presses from CD straight to vinyl, I remember reading that Matt thought those pressings sounded like absolute trash haha

I have the black and white SRC pressing and it’s complete garbage compared to the new one. I’m just waiting for them to quit saying pre-order on their albums so I can use the 15% off coupon I got from astronaut to order downward.

Yeah that art made me not immediately buy it and I was pretty pumped for this one

well, this pressing sounds pretty bad. pressing quality is fine, but sounds like it's just the cd/mp3 masters. not surprising. 

Yeah, this thing sounds like early 2000s MP3s slapped onto vinyl. I went from listening to a film score to this and the quality was so different and I had to mess with all my settings just to get it to sound decent. Glad to finally own it, but not exactly happy that it sounds like butt

The insanely high priced shirts that are usually direct to garment printed on low quality blanks typically leads me to either skip the merch altogether or just go tip the band if they are working their own table. I’d rather just give them $10 than pay those prices for cheap shit.

When I saw them in Atlanta, shirts were $30 and posters were $35. He even complained about the barricade the whole time

Let us know what you find out so we don't all have to reach out and bug them!

Same here. When the listing disappeared it made me nervous

price prediction for hopesfall? The online "standard" version

the 2xLP + UO + EV is not a good equation, so I'm guessing  45+ sadly

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJCHPFVM
 

Easily $50 if the open preorder that starts next week is $40

fwiw solid state / unoriginal have been pricing single/double LP legacy reissues at $35/40 for a few years now. sucks but also not entirely new

My problem with this is the fact that they’ll say it’s got all this fancy stuff going on with the sleeve and it shows up and you paid $40 for basic cardboard. Showbread’s no sir was well worth the price tag but bless the martyr wasn’t even a gatefold and dead poetic didn’t have any of the UV spot gloss or whatever the preorder said it would. 
 

The best part is when I messaged unoriginal vinyl about it they replied with a thumbs up and issued a statement about how it was the manufacturer’s fault about the sleeve

Yup, any success must mean they are a plant

I think that people are confused that a band that goes from playing hardcore music you’d expect from someone’s first band to playing a 3rd rate version of live through this gets this massive push and Taco Bell is propping them up. Not saying they don’t tour a ton and aren’t nice people or whatever. I just think their music is rather mediocre for how popular they are

That satellite years on the bottom left better be getting an online release or I’m gonna be begging for someone going to get me one

Sounds like a pretty aggressive response to a joke. I hope everything's OK at home.

If you felt like either response to your lack of reading comprehension skills were aggressive then I think it’s you we should be worried about

Did I hurt your feelings or something?

I think he’s just amazed at the fact that you read that he was involved with making the record, but somehow missed the fact that it says he does guest vocals on two songs. As well as the fact that if you’re holding the record in your hand, you could look on the right corner in that little white square and see that Palumbo did not do the art for this thing.

The Fucking Champs - IV

Are you like me and all my friends who turned it up loud as fuck the first time and then what’s a little reign kicks in and scares the shit out of you?

and Agents of Oblivion’s ST is an album for me

Kinda sucks it has the new version of WIITB, old version was so much better. Any idea if that old version ever made it onto the older pressings? I  can't tell from discogs

I have the super pixelated cover teal copy from hot topic back when and it’s got the shitty re-recorded version. Ender even starts into it and cuts off

wonder what's the price tag on this? 45? I have the og, so prabably passing. Sad I didn't buy it hates you last year. also where is that damn poison for the first time??

I’m hoping $30 like it hates you but I’m assuming $35 or $40. And I’d be all in for a copy of poison. Still my favorite

 My copy came on Tuesday. I think I’m satisfied with how it turned out. I think I’m immune/not disappointed from marketing language like you listed about how they described the pressing. It’s very clearly a basic pressing with an insert and unique color swirl but nothing extravagant.  $35 is stupid for a single no frills lp but that’s becoming the norm and this album is not available anywhere else so it feels reasonable. It sounds pretty solid if it’s any consolation. 

The record itself looks and sounds awesome and I’m glad I got it but life in your way gets a pop up book and showbread got the full service and this feels like a “be happy you finally got this on vinyl” feel to it

Has anyone else received their dead poetic album yet? I thought it was supposed to be

“a gorgeous, UV spot coating, off set “wallpaper pattern” printed LP jacket”

Mine is about as regular as it could be. And for $35 it’s kind of a dick punch since they did this with Bless the Martyr too

This too. When I saw the heart one I immediately went “WTH is Gared?”

Turns out it was a person, Gared O’Donnell, from a band they toured and were friends with who had passed away in 2021. They posted about it somewhere recently (maybe it was just in the part 4 video?) and I was like “Oh that makes sense.” But if you’re just a casual fan, thats never gonna mean anything to anyone.

So what does planes mistaken for stars have to do with this artwork?

In for a gold. Are these in hand?

Thank you! Glad to have this finally but all these 20th anniversaries are making realize I’m getting old

It looks like they’re all back up for sale after they sold out in 3 minutes

So pumped to get that dead poetic album

Any idea on where said leftovers are gonna be posted?

Was it ever that cheap? Ive never seen it under 30 hence I never bought it. 

I just remember randomly catching it for less than $30 because I was in the same boat. Could have been on eBay though. It’s actually embossed and is better quality than I expected 

$35 for a single LP? I think I’ll wait for it to be $22 on Amazon like I did with white bat
