Sweet. Thanks. Also, how can people who put so much emotion in their music be sooo stoic in every interview they’ve ever done?

Any ideas on what the meaning of the title is?

Got a black/gray and receipt/download info. Wish those splatters were available without the bundle.

Two copies of S/T from Amazon and one from local record store. All skip in the same spots, mostly on B side. Frustrating.

I don't have a disc washer, but I did use anti-static brush before playing both times. Seems they both skip in close to the same spots too, which makes me think it's a bad batch.

Got S/T from Amazon, lots of skipping on b-side, ordered a replacement, same problem. Anyone having the same issue?

Kinda off topic but they had a limited tour press of TIHTWS on white with blue splatter in recycled LP sleeves with a screen print of the album art/track list on the front. 90 total, 5 per show on the tour they just finished. Got one in the sleeve for Pink Floyd's The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Pretty cool idea.

Same here. Haven't heard the album yet. I'm sure is worth the wait.

I got the merchnow split coke bottle/turquoise... Anyone notice more surface noise on one half than the other? Pretty noticeable on quiet parts and between songs.

Just got this email from RFC: We wanted to take a second to let you know that your Pale Horses LP order has shipped! Your order number and USPS tracking number are posted below, but before you paste your tracking number into the USPS tracker (https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction_input) please read the following note carefully! The fastest way for us to ship these orders was to batch print all of the shipping labels at once, and then send out bulk shipments at the end of every day. At this time, your package might have been in a shipment that went out a couple days ago and may be out for delivery today, or may have already been delivered. Conversely, your label may have been printed, but your order may still be in the packing queue waiting to be sent out. If you try to track your package and see something like "not found" or "pre-shipment" do not be alarmed, it will update as soon as the package is picked up by USPS!

Is anyone getting shipping notifications?

Yessir. One of the better looking LPs in my collection.

Upgraded from brookstone usb to this little beauty. Oh happy day.

Emailed DW, they said BB has the silver. Would have been happy with the 180g black too. Order status says release date is 06/29.

Got me a pink/black. Nice low price, $20 shipped.

Put my order in for the Olive/Bone. Haven't listened to the download yet, but very excited for this album.

Thanks!

Sorry if this is somewhere in the replies, but has anyone heard plans to release a non-deluxe edition on vinyl?

Anyone know if this Best Buy link is legit and which variant it would be? I'd order from DW but I got a Best Buy gift card... http://www.bestbuy.com/site/witness-lp-vinyl/27853141.p?id=3370884&skuId=27853141

Dropped the price.

The Mars Volta - The Bible And The Breathalyzer / L'Via L'Viaquez 10" Picture Disc Only played a few times. Looking for $30 $20 ppd but open to offers.

Thanks, this is exactly the kind of reply I was looking for!

I know it's bad... but just how bad is my turntable? Is it going to ruin my records? I only listen to 1 or 2 a month, so it's not like they're in heavy rotation... Brookstone USB Belt drive semi-automatic DC EG servo motor Wow & Flutter: less than 0.25% WRMS Platter: 300mm Cartridge: Moving Magnetic Stylus: Bonded Diamond, 0.6mil Optimum tracking force: 2.5-3.5 grams Output: 170mV-340mV Frequency response: 50-20000Hz Crosstalk: 16dB (1KHz)

Got my blue copy in 2 days.

Listened to my black copy today. Sounds great. I did hear some sibilance mostly on Blood Red Summer and Backend of Forever but not too bad. I have terrible equipment so I'm sure that could be part of it. I hear what everyone is saying about the drums and vocals being up front but it still sounds great. I like the big sounding drums. I remember listening to SSTB and IKSSE3 on CD and thinking the guitars were soft in the mix but it grew on me and GA sounded weird the first time in comparison with the big guitars. Anyways. Totally worth it. Love it. Happy.
