If they had made the cover look era appropriate and not included a band members gf and the manager then I might have cared about the total overall aesthetic.  The front - I think - of that booklet (white with the 4 band members and the band name) would have been better. Just pretend the whole thing is their album, put a hype sticker on it that points out it’s really the movie soundtrack. Anyways rant over, they didn’t do that so I didn’t feel beholden to buy the black variant.

Liv Tyler’s character hand claps on the single, so she is kinda but not really on the album.

 For real though, not a big fan of the cover and would have preferred something era appropriate, like you mentioned.

Were they limiting copies? If not, wondering if a lot of people bought multiples to try and get the 1/100 and they’ll have extras to sell once they show up.

I knew this was eventually coming, and I can't make the justification. The original box is great, and sounds good too.

Going to grab tickets for Columbus though.

Yeah that’s where I’m at too, was hoping they’d sell a bigger LP5 band to go over the original box.

I think this record is really cool, and could be in the running for my favorite album this year. I had already preordered the pic disc from hello merch (along with some other cool Sargent House stuff) but I got impatient waiting for HM to ship so I also picked up a Neptune Blue copy from my local record shop. For whatever reason the hello merch preorder took two extra weeks to ship so I haven't had a chance to compare both the pressings yet. 

 

My main question for other people with the picture disc/zoetrope editions: Are these plastic sleeves that hold the picture discs gonna hurt the record?

Reason I ask is I bought a copy of Glassjaw's Worship and Tribute on white vinyl a few years ago and it was also housed in a similar see thru sleeve but i dont know if it was the same type of plastic? 

 

 

Not sure about damaging directly, but I had a hard time pulling them out without touching the grooves as they would stick to the plastic.  I put them in some mo-fi inner sleeves and did not put them back in the pockets. As a side note, my zoetrope copy sounded good throughout, with minimal noise, and the 3 animations are pretty cool in person.  Glad I picked up this version.

If they do include everything, I might be tempted to grab it and sell the OG box just to satisfy my OCD. If it's just the album, I'll probably convince myself that I'm okay with:

LP1    LP2    LP3    LP4     LP6 

on my shelf

The OCD is real, the new ones look really nice together.

I wonder if the box for Ten Stories will just have the album cut at 45rpm, and not include all the extra stuff from the OG box.

I’ve wondered about that too, since the last 3 albums that already have deluxe sets all have extra music included besides the album. 

My order number was low enough to ship in the first set of 250, and I haven’t gotten it or an email yet.

The Brother Sister-era live shows were so good. I saw them at Cornerstone 2006 on the main stage where they let Psalters and all their other Christian hippie friends (including a giant bird made of discarded items from the dumpster) just come up and dance with them. A real treat to witness that on the same massive stage that also hosted, like, Toby Mac.

I'd love to see a fully-produced livestream of the album similar to what Underoath did. I think the "whole album front-to-back" concept works way better in a controlled environment than as a live tour anyway, never been a fan of going to a show where I already know 2/3rds of the set list.

Wondering and hoping that if they do a live in the studio sort of thing that they'll be get some of the guest artists for their respective parts.  Wonder what the psalters have been up to all this time?

i like how they always (i said always but for me it’s only 2 out of 2 times) included a hand written thank you note. 

I'm 2 for 2 as well ordering from their bandcamp page.  It's a nice touch.

It's a long story I won't explain, but I have an extra download code for the film Whiplash on iTunes.

by the way the collectors edition is also sold out on the UK store, happy to have ordered quickly. This is the only album im missing so far from the mwY collection, mock ups look great. 

So after this one we'll get a Collectors Edition of Ten Stories I assume?

Yeah I’m curious where they go from here, if they’ll  go back and do A—>B Life since that’s never had a collectors edition or if they’ll keep going chronologically into the releases that have already had them and do A—>B Life last.

How are these available to be sold?  I mean, I know what the website name is, but there’s no way these samples are cleared right?

Got one today, thanks @fish

Oh gotcha. Yeah, I got super confused with all the colors on the promo pics. Hopefully it’s only the clear variant then! 

Carrie & Lowell was just a limited clear and an unlimited black release, so this may be the same.

New repress /300 on purple and white available

I just wanna say whoever actually has the rights to these old school metalcore releases, like NJ and UØ, that isn't pressing them to make bank is a big stupid idiot.

This was one of the band’s Razor & Tie releases which is a part a of the Universal conglomerate.  Most Tooth & Nail releases prior to 2013 or so are now also part of the same conglomerate, so unfortunately those bands probably aren’t the biggest priority for company to release themselves.

Mine came in last week, it's a nice package.

Here's a test press charity auction of That Thing You Do

https://www.ebay.com/itm/174254098267

“This VERY limited edition release was remastered-for-vinyl at 33 RPM by Blackbelt Mastering in Seattle”

Hope this is the norm going forward with Tooth and Nail/Solid State Releases.

Anybody know if this shipping right away? I’m assuming it would be if it’s vinyl only (for now), not sure why you’d presale it unless they need the funds to press it.
