there are certainly worse nostalgia buys. i still sing bits and pieces of these songs to my wife all the time. she has no idea what i'm talking about in fairness to them, i am more than happy to support them after the fact for years and years of free content supported with a limited array of merch sales. also, although H*R holds a cherished place in my heart, i think if i went back to watch a lot of it i'd find that i've outgrown it. so... i'm not sure new content would do much for me these days. (although undoubtedly new content would be very welcome!)

damn, good for you for being persistent... clicked check out a few times plus some refreshing, removing and re-adding to the cart... no dice. now all options are grayed out so i think any opportunity for snagging some of those carted-not-bought copies has since passed

it's not, keep saying out of stock once in cart

welp. thought i'd be ok not setting an alarm (currently 6:27 am here). looks like i woke up 10 minutes too late. cool! (edit: i mean, i know it went on sale at 6 am, just that it sold out 10 minutes ago... nvm)

amen. bought one of each—i have a feeling they'll be fairly limited but only because i don't know who's handling everything. ultimately i only want one so i want to see which variant i like more and then i'll sell the second one at cost to someone here. on a message board!!!

bumping a three-week-old bump of a four-year-old thread to wonder out loud if stand tall is the best EP, let alone debut EP, that i have ever heard

this reeks strongly of my 20th and 21st albums as well, i'd have to check my list to see how we stack up original was 2LP, i'd be shocked if this wasn't the route that was taken again

ha, JUST came to say this. did it literally just happen or are our brains just on a similar wavelength? i happened to check the cart (which i left open for god knows how long), saw that the stripped version + ticket was sold out, freaked out a little -- but then found the non-ticketed version for $22.99. much more palatable. gonna email them to see if they'll refund a portion of shipping to do media mail or something cheaper, but if not, i'll eat the $12 shipping, whatever

no option to not get a livestream ticket, so the cheapest option is $34.99 ... + $12.96 shipping (to where i live, at least). kill me

15-year anniversary comin' in hot. early access if you're a pillar member... which i am not. because 'liquor' was a dud to me and this new album feels like more of the same. not a lot of info other than general access preorder is friday, and it looks like there are three options: reissue stripped down deluxe, which includes both count me in for the stripped-down versions, although i'm not sure they'll hold a candle to the originals

i am amenable to this opinion. all songs you mentioned are jams, and yes, i think a remaster would work wonders on this album -- although i also think it's their slickest album, when really for them the grimier the better

two more variants: /1,500 on white in the TWY store and /1,000 in light blue in the hopeless store. won't be ready until april though. hopeless: https://hopelessrecords.myshopify.com/collections/the-wonder-years/products/twy0tusubb-lp TWY: https://www.thewonderyearsband.com/products/the-upsides-suburbia-10-year-anniversary-box-set-second-press

this is SPICY... but i like it! hot damn NJA low teens FPU big dirty ex lives gutter although i think NJA/low teens/FPU are neck-and-neck and this is only a gun-to-my-head ranking of them. white smoke and organ grinder are criminally underrated

absolutely wild, but also very cool for the band, that preorders have come so far. can't blink without missing a signed copy, and 2500 units moved in less than an hour; meanwhile (ironically) the upsides preorders all came with signed posters and moved fewer than 500 units over multiple weeks

like $6.92 or something (edit: to hawaii)

glad they brought back the I'M NOT SAD ANYMORE live shot shirt, just wish i was still 19 so i could wear it and not look like a dweeb

worth paying $5 last night to save $9 this morning, hah

anyone know if being a hopeless member gets you 15% off on this tomorrow? if the UK version is 60 pounds (~$80), 15% off would be $12... it would be worth paying the $5 monthly fee just to save $12, ha. but i'm guessing it won't be(?)

this saved me a lot of headache. thank you!

fixed this for you, no age qualifier most pop punk is legit pretty bad. i think TWY was in a different stratosphere for about seven or eight years and one of the only pop punk bands worth listening to for most of that time

what does that even mean

i honestly had no idea either were out of press at this point. six, eight, ten years ago, it felt like four presses of both upsides and suburbia (or whatever it ended up being) would be plenty. same with WBPF. you used to see 10 ebay listings a day for all these, now you see maybe one a month. all of which is to say... yes, agreed that they probably could have kept churning these out. i think this makes up for the wait for more-recent followers of the band

HA, shiiiiit. i remembered i had watched a third one and revised my statement... but clearly did not edit very well!

but it is of interest for a lot of other people, too. i think you're underestimating the popularity of livestreams right now based on opinions of your close circle or whomever spouts off about it. i've watched three* livestreams this year -- two good, one bad. i also watched the stream of 2019's 'tid the season, which sounded great. obviously not a livestream, but also i often don't care for recordings of live performances, so that says something to me. i think ETID will do a good job with this. lastly, as ethan noted: bands benefit disproportionately from what used to be tours/merch. physical media (and especially streams) are not particularly beneficial, in relative terms.

if anyone is interested in these, i'm willing to make a deal offline, just hit me up—thanks! athletics – who you are is not enough (2nd press 2xLP, dark grey /150) https://www.ebay.com/itm/293767504117 athletics – why aren't i home?
