Tempting... If it came with a copy of all four prints, it would definitely be a must buy.

The Boy's Republic or bust. It's the better song.

JERSEYDAVE JUST HAPPENED TO WIN?!! THIS IS RIGGED! NO FAIR!

GUTTED.
 
I hope cactusbot wins and has Blanchard buy him something from Broken Circles, haha.

I can't even make fun of my opponents name. How do I trash talk SergeantScruffy, it's too good of a name.

He tried to trade me a tri-color Blink TOYPAJ almost 2 years ago. I actually met up with the kid on campus here. He opened his trunk and pulled the record out. It was beat to hell and back. I opted out of the trade we agreed on and he got super pissed. He actually said "Well, I guess I care more about the music than I do about the packaging." 
I mean, yeah, valid argument I suppose. But I guess I just care about my records enough to not just leave them in the trunk of my car.
 
Dude's a ding dong.

dag, yo. i just want to be able to afford one damn copy at some point in the next year. that's my own problem, i know.

how did I miss this thread??

Why am I surprised this is still at the top of the board? 
 
It's over people. It was a nice way to get cheap vinyl but it's over. I remember when Scott made that code thread and Travis' first reaction was "Really?"
 
We got greedy - it seemed to be working when it was buried in other threads but having a space solely dedicated to the sharing of codes was too much. I look at all the new traffic being driven by the Lillingtons Box Set thread. I bet that HT Thread was doing the same during every sale. It would appear in google searches, we made it too easy for those offsite to use VC as a resource. 
 
My last Hot Cash purchase will forever be the Rites of Spring 10" so I went out on a high note. 

so now they tell you that your coupon won't be good for vinyl, even though everyone assumed that would happen, and people are still pissed off? just don't shop there. what's the big deal? am i missing something?

Travis isn't the person to ask about this. You want the marketing/promotions department at HT, not the vinyl buyer.

I for one appreciate the info. I'm not a fan of the band but If someone else is and they are into vinyl this is cool news for them. Some people here are just that way, don't let it deter you from making informative post here. Even though it was a thread full of bashing, it did inform some people that were not aware and are happy.
 
Also I was poking fun at the flipping market by the way not the info lol

QFTMFT
That’s some bullshit dude, and poking fun at the guy afterwards in a public thread is pretty fucked up too.
Don't do it again.

Confession:
 
I have so many records but hate that none of my friends can appreciate sitting down and listening to a great record.

a new record by a great band that costs $15/16 shipped from the best label going isnt enough huh.

TeenageEric tryin'a get that free dl code poon.

i asked a girl at ikea if the shelf could hold about 50lbs and she said i don't know i've never stacked cinder blocks on it before. 

I just threw up in my mouth thanks

All I can think of looking at that is Nickelodeon and Gak.

why do I keep clicking on this thread

I actually owned Fallen on CD when I was in junior high.  So I have heard it, yes.  Multiple times.  And it's not that I think my tastes are "above it".  Nor do I think Evanescence aren't "obscure or watered down enough".  I just have no personal interest or desire to listen to the album anymore.  And that's a sole opinion that you shouldn't allow to interfere with your ability to see and enjoy the band.  Or this album, for that matter.
 
I think it's rad that you plan on buying and repeatedly playing this album on vinyl.  You should get a small medal or decorative ribbon for that.  But I think you fall into a minority, there.  (Which is a good thing.  It means you'll be buying this for legitimate bang for your buck.)  I think the majority of naysayers in this thread are targeting the people who will literally buy this just to say they have it.  There is a lot of truth to "nostalgic reissues" and the amount of flack they get.  Honestly, I feel as though it is not unfair to assume a respectable % of Fallen owners will receive this in the mail, ogle their exclusive purple vinyl, spin it once, and then shelve it.  From there the three Fs are inevitable: it will undoubtedly become forgotten, flipped, or fuel for trade.  That's just how it works.
 
So please.  Put your arms down and unroll your cuffs.  We don't need to take this outside.  It's all pretty simple, if you sit back and look at the grand picture.
 
Will I be buying this?  No.
Will you be buying this?  Supposedly.
Do I enjoy Evanescence's music?  I do not.
Do you enjoy Evanescence's music?  You do.
 
And despite those contrasting answers, I can assure you that the world will continue to spin.  Because the truth is as ugly as it is simple: no one cares.  I mean that.  At the end of the day, it does not matter that I get zero satisfaction from this band or album.  Or that you've seen them in person, and are fully on board with this release.  It does not matter that the majority of this board will shit on this band.  And it does not matter that you're a legitimate fan.
 
I'll echo what many users have already said in this thread: listen to what you want, and buy what you'd like.  I typically avoid threads for artists that I dislike or have zero interest in.  Typically, but not always.  That's why I'm typing this response.  To give you a fair warning, and remind you that you are on the internet.  And more importantly, you're on that tiny sliver of the net that is VC.  There is going to be a bit of elitism in every thread.  And these "nostalgic album press" threads are always fresh spurts of blood in the shark tank.  It'd be in your best interest to get used to it.  If your panties wad up or you feel the need to defend yourself against every post that disagrees with your tastes, this community isn't for you.

This is all I really want to get across: the way this board has turned from its earliest days of "my band put out a 7"!" to the current state of "this early '00s album is getting reissued!!!! HT EXCLUSIVE VARIANT!!!!!!!!" is fucking depressing. I don't post in threads for current bands I don't care for, because at the least it's nice to know that people are still making music and contributing to some scene somewhere. But the endless "nostalgia value" reissues, to me, seem like such a waste of time and space. How often are you guys reliving your teenage angst years? Do you really want to pay $27 to do it for another 45 minutes?
 
 
 
 
Is this a new breed of elitism? Like, reverse-elitism? I don't think of myself as too good for music on the radio just because it's on the radio, if that's what you're ham-handedly trying to imply. But it is not a coincidence that almost all "heavy rock" radio music is watered-down lowest-common-demoninator bullshit. Its playlists are focus-grouped and algorithm-tested just like Top 40, because the same companies own both kinds of stations, and they know how to corral specific demographic groups into stations they own so they can sell more effectively-targeted advertising. And I know what I'm talking about, my co-workers are avid fans of the "local" hard rock station, and it fucking suuuuuucks. They keep the playlist trimmed down to about 150 songs, they just loop them all day and no one seems to mind. It's a real bummer. I believe everyone can do better than what the radio has to offer. This should not be a controversial statement.
 
 
 
This is like saying people can't hate on Battleship because it's a movie and as long as movies are still being made we should be happy.
 
 
Dey tuk r jrrbs
 
 
The new Low Culture LP is dope. Replacements charity EP is waay better than it has any right to be, that gets pressed on a 12" later this year. The new Frightened Rabbit album is surprisingly good. Grouper's The Man Who Died In His Boat is really really good. The new Low album leaked like 3 months ago, but I have listened to it a lot and am excited for the official release. I think there were threads for all of these, but they get buried pretty quickly because they don't have cool variants. I didn't bring it up because if I came into every thread and listed records that are better than the one being talked about, I would not get a lot of work done and it would be more than a little condescending and weird. This thread alone would take days.
 
I should note that I make no claim to being the Official VC Arbiter of Taste. I'm more just taken aback that people are defending Linkin Park and Evanescence, bands I had thought were merely a few steps below Creed and Nickelback on the "able-to-safely-make-fun-of" scale.
 
 
Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck fuck.
 
And if anyone feels compelled to give me shit for judging people for liking Creed, this entire place deserves to be razed to the ground, and its fields sown with salt.

Why not just give her your music files? Insert your flash drive into her usb port, if you know what I mean.
 
Christ, my boredom breeds immaturity.

Maybe you should buy Acid Bath instead.
