Am I the only one who just cares about the music? I am a strong believer that art is separate from the artist. I don't listen to Ryan Adams' music or anyone else's music for that matter because I like and/or dislike the artist behind it. I listen to it for the ART. 
 
Clearly, everyone here isn't even arguing about his art/music. They're arguing about HIM. Who gives a shit about what the fuck this dude does in his personal life. I didn't care before and I don't care now. Again, that's not why I listen to his or anyone else's music. 
 
What are you guys doing before you check out a new artist?? Going to their wiki page or digging deep to try to figure out if they are a good enough person in their personal life so that you can feel better about listening to their music or enjoying their art??? Are you?? No - didn't think so. 
 
Hopefully I can check back on this thread and it's for a pre-order link for Blackhole. 

Haha. Don't be a child. Read what I said again. I'm not defending his actions, but questioning why everyone here is jumping on Ryan Adams when Bowie is still praised as a genius despite having sex with multiple teenagers. It's just hypocritical. I don't think people here would be jumping on Bowie or Chris Brown with as much vitriol and hatred should there be threads about them.
 
He's been called out. He's lost everything he's had. He's not perfect. Let him heal. He did not murder/rape. No use to just keep pounding him selectively and repeatedly because he did something that doesn't fit your/our moral compass and because it's cool or easy to do something like that in this era.

Its a bloodsport more it is any true moral outrage if you ask me.  His actions definitely warrant condemnation, for sure.  However in my experience, we seldom hold our friends, families, co-workers or ourselves to these same standards.  There's just something enjoyable about destroying something or somebody.  

This. The new social flogging is (imo) sometimes worse than any jail punishment someone could receive. Take it easy fellas. People really have strong opinions over events they were never present for nor have all the details for.

Yeah, I have complex opinions on the matter, but don't really have the energy to write it all out. the tl;dr version is basically:
Good or bad, right or wrong, Ryan hit rock bottom. If he is able to actually work through his shit, and get help, I think it is possible for him to come out a good/better person. This is based on me believing that he has legitimate mental health issues, and not that he is just an asshole who chose to do shitty things because he is a shitty person. 
Some of you guys are ruthless, and frankly I am sad for you. The world is rarely so black and white, and we are all complex flawed people. I hope if any of you truly screw something up in your life, those around you have a more compassionate and forgiving attitude toward you.

What’s been discussed is right! The demos are bloody great.

Having few different Panopticon variants I can confirm that:
- "sky" art was previously  used only in EU vinyl pressings (Trust No One);
- all US pressing I have are kinda glossy (with last press being super-glossy), while EU covers are everything but glossy;
- I do not have "reverse-board" variant, so cannot say anything about it.

 

Cute.
 
But I'm actually hoping to get that Panopticon on black with the original art. Its not even my favorite LP from them but I for some reason need that original cover and the vinyl needs to be black. Its a sickness.

It's not a sickness, it's just correct.

You're not in my head.  I'm making fun of you.  That is all.  Don't jerk yourself off that hard, bro.

Again, back to referencing 10 year old life events.  Yes, my ex-wife cheated on me.  We got divorced, I moved on.  I'm super happy with my life.  
If you really think continually bringing this up matters to me or upsets me, you're wrong.  Trying to make fun of my wife is also another reason why this picture is applicable.   

Derek and Shelby bother me more than anyone on this site, Much more than harmless Kramer. I'd rather someone post about a PO no one cares about on a forum that is used for this exact purpose than 30 year old bros thinking they get to be the VC Police. 

Well there's still poop brown available...

Haha, yea I know! I was more of trying to defend him from others who somehow found a way to attack him here.

FWIW I appreciate it though. Wouldn’t have known about it cos got no time to be checkin the cassette boards all day. 
 
Besides, so many other people do this, all the time.

I used to love it but this pinwheel thing is getting old...
