    Nobody said it was. My jeep still has a cassette player, but that doesnt mean its being put to use.

    I bet some people who ordered it dont even own a cassette player, but hey thats their choice. I dont see anything wrong with purchasing the CD, I mean they did also release it in that format after all.

    Just seemed gimmicky to me, to make it the most pain in the ass way for their fans to listen to the album, and it didnt even turn out right. Think ima head to best buy tonight and just cop the cd though.

    Nice, I think I just got my first minus 1 thingy.
     
    Seriously though, how is spreading an album across 2 7"s, a 10" and a cassette not gimmicky? Explain that to me.
     
    Lol if a band like glassjaw pulled some shit like that, you would burn them at the stake. I guess at least whoever ordered this thing actually got it in a reasonable time, but still.

    If by "not cut out for" you mean "I wait a week to preorder the most limited version" then I suppose that makes sense

    You're as good as putting words in people's mouths as you are at putting your own foot in your mouth (or head up your ass, whichever you prefer).

    Your selective ignoring = ignorance.
     
    Not calling Mondo a liar.  I feel they say random because of this (which you keep on selectively ignoring):
     
    "This is why, I believe, Mondo says it is "random"... they try to make the fans who order early and directly by supplying 1 variant/1black, but stuff happens. Imagine saying if you order 2 you will get 1 variant/1 black and then for whatever reason they can't fulfill orders that way... hello shitstorm! Or if they still had online stock of the record, imagine all of the emails asking "is the variant sold out yet"?  It is likely that when they give out 1 variant/1 black for early orders, they run out of the variant earlier because it is more limited.  Later orders they would ship both black."
     
    I'm not ignoring that it doesn't work for some people.  In the very post you quoted, I mention that this strategy does not seem to work for everyone.  You seem to be ignoring that in addition to myself and friends, a growing group of maybe 10 people on this board have also admitted to this strategy working for them.
     
    Although my quote above on randomness is just a guess, the math is the strong argument.  You also are still ignoring the math (which, in fact, is a conservative number) and reveals that NO WAY is it entirely random.  
     
    Perhaps random for some, definitely NOT RANDOM for others.  SO NOT ENTIRELY RANDOM.

    Your belief that it is entirely random has been shown to be not true.  Buying two copies directly from Mondo, early on, results in 1 black and 1 variant in many cases. (read back a few pages)  It may be partially random though, because that strategy apparently doesn't work for everyone.
     
     
    Funny you used that number when (conservatively) the odds of my orders getting 1 black, 1 variant near-consistently would be 0.000001%
     
    aka - ridiculous odds!  Did you do that on purpose?  
     
     
    Yes, the mathematical odds of repeatedly getting 1 black and 1 variant most times really crushes the idea that it is totally random.
     
    Definitely not random for some people, meaning its not entirely random.  FOR SURE.

    Can they just press it on a 12" just to avoid something like this happening again?

    Instead of throwing it in the trash you could have traded it to someone.

    See, the only thing you need to know about Pelican is that their drummer sucks. That's basically what they're known for at this point. I'm not a good drummer by any stretch of the imagination but fucking hell is that guy a pile of shit.
