2022 vinyl pricing continues to be outrageous.  How are teen girls dropping half a hundo on single LPs?

wow, I was in right when it dropped, so it had to sell out in 1 minute. Jesus. Yeah, time for a repress. The album does not get the love it deserves. Bunch was a great fit for the band.

Damn I'm still tempted to pick this up. I've been listening to Hide Nothing a bunch the past few weeks, I forget how many great songs are on that record. Jon's vocals are beautiful.  This band rules, I hope they put more music out in the future.  
 
Edit: It will be ten years this month since the last record came out, wild. 

I haven't liked NOFX since Pump up the Valuum, so personally, I totally agree. I think your post was an accurate representation of the band's last 20 years, I don't think what you said was negative/worthy of "you're fun at parties" jabs....but that's just me. Obviously other people still like them, and that's fine.
and I am in this thread because Fat releases mostly records by bands that are not NOFX.

Album is sick.  There’s some really cool stuff happening on it.  43 minutes leaves a lot to dig but on first listen, Nympheas may still be a highlight for me – somehow that track keeps getting better and better, and has cemented itself as one of their best cuts, for me.
There’s a few tracks featuring cleaner vocals – maybe not “clean” so much as less aggressive – like 2-3 at most.  But I actually think they do a great job at keeping the essence of the band rooted, while giving the album some room to stretch its legs and breathe.  Don’t get me wrong, I love me some BIR when they’re all in and pummeling… but 40+ minutes of that kinda’ relentlessness would be fatiguing for sure.
Anyway.  Zero regrets on the pricy PO.  I don’t think it streams for another week, so you’re in for a treat whether you try it out digitally or wait for the record.  I find it to (already) be miles better than WALTW, personally.

Perhaps I got overly worked up and offended, for that I apologize.
In this very particular case, this is exactly how the band wanted to release the product and they have final say over anything we put out of theirs. The standard edition is still very widely available as well, but they did not want to do the bsides/acoustic songs as their own release.
In regards to a $30 LP,  we aren't at $30 for a single LP  but we try to keep our prices as low as possible, but in a post covid world production costs have soured and unfortunately there's only so low we can go.

The only reason this version of the album happened is because the band wanted to do it. They like the b-sides and the acoustic versions and wanted it pressed and wanted to re-vamp the physical packaging.
Saying this has zero effort from the band/label is just flat out ignorant and disrespectful quite honestly, many people (myself included) worked very hard to make this version of the record.
If you don't like it or think its stupid then just don't buy it but no need to throw around disrespectful comments when you have zero knowledge of what it takes to put out something like this, or any record quite frankly.

Figured out why he's mad guys

You know how I said I feel like people did not read Topshelf's entire statement... Well... I don't want to call you out but they're literally dealing with their own problems and they have funds set aside for an emergency because they have successfully been around that long. You might want to tone down your ignorance and take the time to read the links before commenting because you missed the mark with everything you've said.

Nobody ever ended up doing a proper rip of this with or without the hidden track, so I did. Here it is on YouTube:
...and here's more info (lineage etc) along with a lossless download of the full EP rip.

Revelation Records repressed False Cathedrals and U.S. Songs on vinyl and cassette (Song In The Air is also available on cassette) . Also two new shirts and two buttons available.

Noah might be my favourite so far 🤷‍♂️

Didn't know if to create a new thread or just post it here since it's hardcore/punk adjacent. And I'm beyond excited about it. 
Falling Forward - Let These Days Pass: The Complete Anthology 1991-1995

Formed in Louisville, KY in 1991, Falling Forward was a band made up of childhood friends Benjamin Clark, Gary Bell, Jonathan Mobley, Ben Lord, and Chris Higdon. Started in their early teens, the band released a handful of recordings on a few different labels (Noble Recordings, Initial Records, and Doghouse Records) before disbanding in 1995. Higdon, Mobley, and Lord would immediately regroup as the renowned atmospheric post-hardcore band, Elliott. Falling Forward’s entire catalog has remained unavailable in any format for over 20 years. Let These Days Pass: The Complete Anthology 1991-1995 documents the entire recorded history of a young band who met in their pre-teens, wore their hearts on their collective sleeves, and incidentally inspired and influenced thousands of kids and dozens of bands (most notably Thursday) across the world with their unique union of chunky, metallic riffs, pop-punk-inspired hooks, and startlingly infectious, Sunny Day Real Estate-inspired melodicism. Restored and remastered from the original master tapes by Alan Douches at West West Side Music (The Promise Ring, Converge), Let These Days Pass is packaged in all-new artwork culled from elements of the band’s history, and includes a 20-page full-color booklet of rare and unpublished photos, fliers, and lyrics.

Praying for “Diffuse” to be added to Electra. Stoked on the 45 RPM to replace my SRC copy too!

having albums available to people longer than an hour is not a bad thing...

That snare 🔥🔥🔥

Talbot just sent out a newsletter & included an update on the E2000 & YPAA reissues.

HUM RE-ISSUES: YES, IT’S STILL HAPPENING…
Happy to let you know that we are back into this project. It got delayed a bit due to malaise. Currently we are working through an issue with a portion of the test pressings. In the interest of best fidelity, both Electra 2000 and You’d Prefer an Astronaut will be offered as 180g double LPs at 45 rpm. So that’s 8 total sides of records, by my math. We had issues with one of these sides and are working with RTI to sort it out. Once resolved, we’ll be ready to announce a pre-order date. We will, of course, let you know in all of the usual places when that day comes. Thank you for your patience with us/me.

This post could have saved you a lot of time if you just wrote "I'm insufferable"

Sort of sucks there aren’t any demos or live tracks added onto this. 

The EP set is fantastic. I don't think I would have paid $60 if it were another band, but I love this band and those releases so much.

Offtopic but couldn't find it's topic, but whatever
The red mov numbered pedals is 12 bucks ppd at popmarket with Thanks10 code you can cut 1,2 more. It's a pretty quality release for 10 and change.
