  1. Does anyone have an extra copy of the mixed variant? I ordered one the minute it went up for pre-order and when I changed my address the other day, my order mysteriously got cancelled a few hours after already getting an email saying my change of address was processed. I've sent two emails and still haven't gotten a response. I have a feeling I won't be hearing anything back from Hot Topic...

  2. my question is, is it worth the price/wait?

    For me it was, but then again, they are my favorite band, it could be different for someone else. I understand that delays happen, and I knew I was going to get it eventually. Of course I was excited for it and wanted it sooner, rather than later. As a fan of the band, who collects all kinds of memorabilia, this is an awesome thing to have. There are even a few older photos that I don't think I've seen.

  3. the photo books are nowhere close to being ready to ship. i found out earlier this afternoon that the books have just recently been finished, probably within the last week, and they are on their way to the plant that handled the record pressing. Rise used two different places, one to print the books and one to press the records, and they only placed the order for 1,000 - 100 page books (so 100,000 pages needing printing not even counting the hardbound covers) in early June with a release date of July 10. even to the untrained eye that short window would obviously not be enough time to get the books done on time to meet the release date.

    so with the books on their way to whatever plant Rise used for the records, either that plant or Rise themselves will have to package the records inside the books. either way, there is the time it takes for the plant to ship the records to Rise so the covers of the books can be signed by the band. from what a couple other labels have said, Ace is hard to get ahold of to finish these types of things (whether it's approving art, giving the final go ahead of layout, "hand writing" lyric sheets and you can lump in signing 1,000 books into this category too). then there is the time it takes to ship the records from Rise over to Merchnow (Portland ,Oregon to upstate NY) then more shipping time as the books can finally start shipping out to the people who pre-ordered them. bearing in mind pre-orders for this went up sometime in April I believe.

    i was told back at the end of July they should be ready to ship August 27. i was also told at that time Rise will be making an announcement about the delays and the new expected ship date, but that never came about. and obviously the August 27 revised ship date never happened either. Today I was told the books should start shipping at the end of this month (September). so this seems to be a revolving door of release dates that keep getting pushed back 1 month at a time. so hopefully these see the light of day before Christmas.

    Let's not forget that they'll be on tour in October... I'm thinking Christmas looks about right. :mellow:

  4. How does it sound?

    Amazing! I've listened to it twice now and I'm letting it sink in. You can definitely hear a difference in the songwriting from the triple disc and the new album. Their sound has matured a lot. Ace's voice sounds so solid. They used one of Ace's solo songs for this album, and I enjoy it a lot more than I did when he did it solo.

  5. I'm looking for a copy of Mae's Destination: Beautiful on blue/white swirl. I know they are difficult to come by, but it's worth a shot.

    I am willing to trade one of my copies of the following for it:

    Brand New - The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me (white)

    Thrice - Vheissu (still sealed, not sure if it's the 2nd or 3rd pressing)

    Motion City Soundtrack - Even if it Kills Me (black)

    Say Anything - Is a Real Boy (white, 2nd press)

    Four Year Strong - Rise or Die trying (solid purple, 180 gram, /500)

    Please message me if you are willing to trade for one of these!

  6. My store isn't getting this. Neither are any of the ones around me.

    Somebody help me out? :)

    Young Ones in Kutztown had a few earlier, and nobody was touching them. I know you're in Lehigh, so maybe you could call and see if they have any left if you're still looking? Hope that helps.
