Anyone else still waiting on these from Smartpunk? I got an e-mail with a shipping notification (no tracking) over a month ago. Still no records. Starting to feel a little worried.

Anyone else notice if you click on one of the packages containing a record now it says "Releases on July 22nd, 2016"

Seems pretty fast to push back the release date

Might be that purple and 180gram black will ship around July 1 and they sold out of the legitimate first pressing and the white will be pressed at a separate scheduled date causing a different ship date for customers.

The song is good. I'm excited for the album.

it was a chore just to watch one second of that

 

Yeah, that was bad.

 

So much this.

It's depressing to see a probably mid-30 year old woman try and make out with a cat after getting a little overly excited about a Nicktoons record.

Can you post some pics for us? Mine won't get here until Monday

Dillon posted pictures of both variants a page or two back.

Well, it's in my hands after 10 1/2 months. The packaging is nice. I still don't understand why an alternate artwork was necessary. The sound is pretty good, I noticed it didn't have quite the bass I expected, but the masters were probably not great for that thing. And it's difficult to ascertain fidelity when it's the fuggin' Prom Song, some guy yelling at the top of his lungs on bad equipment with beeps and boops in the background.

 

Anyway, it looks like a nicely done record, but I can't see myself spinning it very much. The price was unsavory for a 10 inch and the wait was ridiculous. Not the wisest purchase I've ever made. The whole time I kinda just wished I was listening to Would It Kill You?

I got mine today as well. The wait was way too long. I don't mind the alternative artwork, but I really like the original. I would have liked the "Mush Slowly And Guac" phrase somewhere on the artwork. I liked the whole Andy Warhole omage of the original. I noticed Cody Payne did the new artwork. The green vinyl coloring is nice looks very avacado-ish.

Got this in yesterday. It turned out pretty nice. Glad to finally be able to cross it off my incoming list. It was second only to Hellogoobye's EP in how long I had been waiting. I got the variant pictured above. No postcards with it, but the postcards are used for art on the inside of the gatefold.

MikePortly wants that Blink money!

 

 

 

...well that Blink related band money .

This is a cool album. I picked up a copy. I'll go along with some others in this thread in that I'm also kind of surprised they sold that many records in just a few hours.

Did anyone's copy of NP come with a lyric sheet?

 

I don't know if they actually do come with one but mine didn't.

The picture above looked like the record is sitting on top of an insert and a jacket. Having gotten mine yet, but I'll let you know if I get one.

I keep seeing this thread bumped so I'll throw one of my favorite 10 inches in here. The Weeds - Roots/Routes beer/bronze 10" press is one of my favorites. Great EP as well.

Look. The situation here is - you advertised a simple 6 song 10 inch (that was markedly more expensive than most 10 inches) that was conveniently already made years ago. Seven months of wondering 'what the hell is going on with that record' later you announce that test pressings haven't even been approved yet. And when someone makes a disparaging remark, you reply with 'I'm a busy fucking guy.' Zero communication, zero professionalism, zero apologies for the delay gets zero sympathy. I don't care about the 'fetishist' whatever stuff, I don't know what that is and it has nothing to do with the issue at hand, which is a bunch of people gave you money and have nothing to show for it. I understand that things take time but the courteous thing to do would be to inform your customers what's going on, apologize and explain the delay, and not jump down the throats of dudes on forums. You say you're 'just trying to keep people informed' trying to look like the good guy in all this, but this is way too little way too late.

 

When I receive your Hellogoodbye record in another five months, that will be the end of my business with the company you work for, because of your actions. Show some tact, man.

Right on point. Furthermore the MerchHQ page has been updated multiple times claiming the vinyl experienced a delay and at first it said May was the new ship date and then it said the vinyl was being shipped to them in July. All the while a test press hadn't even been approved and the label/thedillon knew it. Another case of the old hold 'em over forever routine we saw from SRC about The Juliana Theory's Love. I'm sure this will get done and be nice looking. It just sucks the process has went down like this.

 

Also I'm pretty sure TheDillion promoted this for this article naming it the number 4 album to lost your sh*t over:

I'm guessing it's him he's stated as being a "popular" member of Vinyl Collective, Steve Aoki‘s personal Tour Manager, and former Allstar Weekend guitarist. If he was a super popular member he'd know that's not the super greatest way to treat people who have been waiting almost 8 months for a pre-order.

 

Not a dig at Dillon but he has to know because he's been around here a while that you have to be pretty sensitive when it comes to these things. People don't mess around about their money. He needs to remember the people that are upset supported his pressing from the get go. He shouldn't do the I'm brushing it off as whatever stuff and puffing up my bro chest at anyone who is critical or upset. Good way to make sure the next article someone writes about him says: very unpopular member of Vinyl Collective.

I got this in from Best Buy and it's the ultra clear with red and blue splatter variant. The variant matches the artwork really nicely. Not Man Overboard's best album but it has some good summer pop/punk songs on it.

I like the song. I'm not a big fan of the album artwork.

Got this in from Best Buy yesterday. Got the orange variant. Looks more on the peach side, but it looks cool. This is an awesome album.

That youtube video review is terrible. I wonder if you look through the VNYL instagram page if you could find a picture of that guy just chillin at VNYL headquarters. I'm glad people are writing tons of negative feedback on the video.

 

Nick Alt has to be on the top 10 terrible list of shady record related people who have popped up in a pretty visible way over the last five or so years.

nice #vibe... lol #meme should be the next #vibe and they only send out nickle bin records

Fixed this for you haha.

Ask and you shall receive!

Haha #rainyday

I'm pretty sure some people liked Crystal Pepsi though...

This dude loves it:

 

 

I kind of wish somebody would put the vnyl logo at the bottom of that puke waterfall.

I was just thinking about this earlier today wondering when it would show up. Checked the MerchHQ site and it looks like it was delayed until early May and since early May is gone I'm assuming it's still delayed. This one is taking a long time to get done.

I don't mind the three songs they've released. Not their best but not terrible IMO. The band haven't evolved much with their sound or style. I do think this is my favorite cover artwork they've ever had for an album.

Thin sounding or physically thin? The thicknes of a record doesnt mean shit. Some of my best sounding LPs are from the 70s and 80s.

Yeah they're just thin physically. For the price I was satisfied.

Whats wrong with the issues from hastings? I was considering it.

MOV records do sound really good (for the most part) and the Korn MOV releases I have do have a top notch sound, but I think the Issues available at Go Hastings sounds find. The records are on the thin side. Just a second opinion haha.

I like the song & video a lot. I plan on grabbing this at some point. This could turn out to be the best Hotel Books release so far.
