hickey Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 I'm just getting one, since I am not really an LTJ collector. That signed one is a bit out of range. I'll probably go with the colored with 7" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j4m35 Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 33.75 is definitely not the right price for that record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrc Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 yeah, think ill grab just one... im kinda getting tired of collecting LTJ records right now. need a break, to bad that costs you more in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclz Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 i'm just gonna wait until i see them in june and if they don't have it they will have it in their webstore, i don't trust interpunk with pre-ordered items Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subscript Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 the signing means 20+... wow I'm guessing the signed one comes with other stuff that interpunk has neglected to mention (because they might not even know what it is right now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alejandroid Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 apparently this album is supposed to be like their older shit, since they realized the last one sucked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subscript Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I'm am extremely confident that this will be a great album. They're off warner and onto their own label so they have NO one to answer to for their music. The fans were all disappointed with the last album and the band knows it, so this time they'll be coming in with horns at full force. It's produced by Matt Allison, who you may know from records like: Broken Star - The Broadways (1997) Goddamnit - Alkaline Trio (1998) Maybe I'll Catch Fire - Alkaline Trio (2000) Broken Van - The Broadways (2000) Split EP - Shady View Terrace/ The Lawrence Arms (2000) Present Day Memories - The Chinkees/ The Lawrence Arms (2001) From Here to Infirmary - Alkaline Trio (2001) Apathy and Exhaustion - The Lawrence Arms (2002) The Greatest Story Ever Told - The Lawrence Arms (2003) BYO Split Series, Vol. 5 - Alkaline Trio (2004) Unicornography - The Falcon (2006) Oh! Calcutta! - The Lawrence Arms (2006) Mutiny Pop - The Copyrights (2006) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goraiders Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I was going to list the records Howard Benson produced, but turns out other than Hello Rockview the list is actually unbelieveably terrible. Examples: Crazy Town - Darkhorse (2002) Adema - Unstable (2003) P.O.D. - The Fundamental Elements of Southtown (1999);Satellite (2001); Payable on Death (2003) there are a few other good ones though.

jonnywreck Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 soooo...why didn't you mentioin the good ones he produced? money's money sometimes, and if p.o.d. asked me to produce and album, i'd do it, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goraiders Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 The good ones, as far as i'm concerned are the first two zebrahead albums and "Throwing the GAme" by lucky boys confusion. Sorry I offended you. I'd say 3/4 the people on this board think those 3 are shitty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnywreck Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 i never said you offended me, i just wanted to know what else he produced. when all is said and done, though, those three albums aren't bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subscript Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 despite Interpunk's crazy shipping, I've preordered the whole thing (including a CD). They won't charge my credit card until just before it ships so I've got a lot of time to cancel some items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pez Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I ordered all 3. Less Than Jake is my favorite band so I really don't have a problem ordering all 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subscript Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 a couple updates regarding the LP, from Vinnie's blog So I had been spinning the new record a bunch since I just got the test presses for the vinyl, without going into a complete off shoot, the vinyl sound is amazing. But I’ve been listening to GNV/FLA, spinning 180 mil vinyl and the record sound good. The bonus 7 inch of demos sounds good too as does the acoustic 7 inch. Don’t know about those you are saying to yourself…you will soon. from the Vintage Vinyl "In Store Add" Special Vintage Vinyl exclusive - Vintage Vinyl will have an exclusive 7" single that will only be available for those people who pre-order GNV FLA at Vintage Vinyl. How exclusive? These 7" singles are being manufactured for and made available only at the few stores that are hosting instores with Less Than Jake. Each store will have a maximum of 150 7"s and each store will have its own unique colored vinyl version of the 7". and the first review of the album http://www.punktastic.com/reviews/2879 Welcome home, Less Than Jake.After flirting with the mainstream over the last couple of albums and picking up derisory comments for the lack of horns/too much emphasis on the pop, ‘GNV FLA’ is a real return to the sound that blew them up big in the first place. I couldn’t say this record, the band’s ninth full length studio album, is as qood as ‘Hello Rockview’ and I wouldn’t even say it’s quite the same as ‘Pezcore’ or ‘Losing Streak’, but it is more ‘Borders and Boundaries’ than ‘Anthem’. And I know that will please a lot of people. Not that you’d guess from the start of ‘GNV FLA’ (so named after their hometown of Gainesville, Florida). LTJ are at their best when they have horns parping and guitars flexing their rifftacular muscles, yet ‘City Of Gainesville’ is possibly the slowest track on the album. It’s not bad per se, it’s just…unexpected. For a band who promised a more ‘traditional’ new album, this wasn’t the way I expected it to go. So I was delighted when the album picked up from ‘The State Of Florida’ and carried on through to last track (although the UK release has 15 songs) ‘Devil In My DNA’. The rumours that this record would be a back-to-basics return to form are true. There’s horns a plenty and the style and structure of the songs sound more like ‘Borders…’ influence than any other album. The production is less polished too, which I am sure will delight the hardcore fans who disliked ‘In With The Out Crowd’. So after listening to this record for pretty much two days solid I’m glad to report back there are many classic LTJ tunes in the making here. Don’t expect ‘Pezcore’ sillyness, but at the same time it’s Back to the Future time with tracks like ‘Malachi Richter’s Liquor’s Quicker’ and ‘Conviction Notice’ buzzing from the speakers. There are many highlights, it has to be said and it’s difficult to guess which tracks will be the singles. There are some strong songs, although none stand out in the same way as ‘All My Best Friends…’ or ‘She’s Gonna Break Soon’ in terms of obvious hits. There are still singles in the making here though, just in a different way. I’d be lying if I said every song is a winner, but when the brass section is going at it full pelt and Roger and Chris are trading vocal blows, it’s like a trip back to 2000. 2008 - the summer of ska? Don’t bet against it… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest conoley Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 It's a good album. Way better than the last one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Eh, the album's pretty weak. Yeah, it sounds more "vintage" than the last one but the hooks and choruses just aren't there. I've listened to it 3-4 times at work and have no desire to listen to it anymore. It sucks, too, because I REALLY wanted this record to be one of my favorites of the year. I truly thought LTJ would make a definitive comeback record. This one's not it, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclz Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 when i go to the vintage vinyl show, i'll buy 2+ copies of the 7"s and trade them for other colors from other instore preformances if anyone is down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
