fuuuuck how did I miss all these already

Only the revolver variant that went up around midnight eastern is sold out. None of the other links from OP have gone live yet.

Can’t wait to hear this on Friday!

I don’t think I’m going to make it through the whole album tonight due to being tired but about half way through and it’s pretty immediately likable. Will start it over in the morning.

Works now. Just checked out

I have now also paid ~$30 for 2 tracks. I need therapy.

Shows in-stock for me in the US. That link may be US only. 

Did you buy it? Agreeing to terms and continuing checkout reports it’s sold out.

ugh, telling me sold out! 

I find it hard to believe… and also hate myself for even attempting to continue checking out after seeing the price and the shipping options. Somebody gotta be fucking up the cart system or it didn’t get added to the store right…

“Comic book Derek” wow your goose is really cooked on that one, D. You may as well just close your account and get out of here forever, no one will ever respect you now.

Just a heads up for anyone going to the future shows that pre-ordered this ridiculous vinyl set in the plexi case…everyone at the Chicago date received theirs WITH NO VINYL. Straight up empty case. Told by the merch people that there was something wrong with the yellow record so they will be mailing the records out to everyone. No timeline or answer as to when. Not sure if this will be a continuing theme for the rest of the tour, but just a heads up, ya’ll might also be going home with a $200 empty case. 
 

dude in front of me in line said “This is so fucking Glassjaw”, and I agree completely. 
 

Show was great - so enjoy that part! 

What could possibly be wrong with the yellow LP in the case version vs the standard version? Guess I’ll have to crack this thing open sooner than later.

Am I missing something or was the Newbury Comics exclusive $69.99? 

 

Also, small gripe but I dislike how similar this color is to past variants. 

Newbury has been known to mark up their own exclusives (even further) when they start to run low - or sellout and then some copies are “found”.

I never saw these questions/ responses before, but I can tell you that I subscribe and unsubscribe from them constantly. You only are ever charged when your sub renews. Cancel before that you're clear for the lower price. 

I’ve just left mine running and skipped practically every month.

Beats a 5LP set with etchings on every other side.

They should make another record instead of having more copies of this one pressed.

which one of you is this?

Lol how many accounts does tug have now?

I hope the TOOLARMY VIP package holders don’t buy up all the copies before I can get through the line in a few weeks.

Identity theft is not a joke.

turning off a lost/stolen credit card and then getting your vinyl preorders canceled when your original form of payment can’t go through isn’t the same thing as identify theft. Relax. 

Friday 12pm eastern.

Did anyone get the single with the book yet? Figured that would have shipped first.

Nope. I have a couple other records on the order but I assume it’s the 7”/book holding it up.

Now we’re talkin.

Oh yeah, 100%.  But I was under the impression that these Mars Volta records were the only ones in scope of the discussion.  I'll opt for a black press if a variant is truly an eyesore or just nonsensical splatter trash.  But I don't think that's been the case for these TMV colorways.

Right.  We've all had that color vs. black vinyl discussion countless times, over the years.  I hadn't assumed your stance on that had changed.  I do get that it's all subjective.  But just glancing at sale prices for virtually every record out there that has a limited colored edition, it's pretty easy to see why it's classified as a perk.  Always the best looking option? – nope.  Always the best sounding option? – no, even less often.  It just seems kind of silly to goad Dan into spelling out that color vinyl is a bonus – to him, subjectively, and many others – when you knew that was exactly what he was getting at. 🤷‍♂️

To be clear I have the black over priced ones and didn’t cry over the additional variants released later. This shit happens all the time so there’s no point in whining over it. I was just sticking my nose in somebody else’s business and answering the question the way I assumed they meant “cheaper and better” or whatever the original post that mcp was questioning.

What was better about the later versions?

Original reissues were all overpriced black vinyl. Later they released colored versions via other retailers for more reasonable prices.

hey can you relax please? This album means a lot to some of us and we don’t want the thread to get locked bc you’re easily needled by the V word.

edit lol I see the bit now. Also to be clear this album sucks, I’d hate anyone to take me seriously.

Can’t believe they didn’t get booked to play this album for that fest in Vegas.
