andydrums Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 $52.63 shipped to UK for an LP with 8 tracks? I'm a big fan, but I think I'll pass! thesewoodenideas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glass realms Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Just because the album has 8 songs doesn't mean it isn't a full length record. They're probably longer songs this time around. patreeeek and nothingnatural 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andydrums Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Now I'm not on my phone, I've seen the UK pre-order. Still £26.24 and you don't get to choose which sleeve you get! May just wait and see what price Amazon do it for. No doubt save myself a fiver or so that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefwahoo Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 "It's an eight-song album," Grohl says. "But it's gonna be our longest album – because there are some epic jams. When you get Joe Walsh with you out in the desert" – referring to a session with the Eagles guitarist at a studio in Joshua Tree, California – "it's not going to be a three-minute pop single. It gets a little weird."Read more: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/inside-the-foo-fighters-wildly-ambitious-new-album-and-hbo-series-20140604#ixzz3A6krTHu5 patreeeek and tvham 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergeantscruffy Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I know it's been said several times already, but as a variant collector of Weezer, I am so glad they didn't pull this shit with their new album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domiendr Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 This is too gimmicky for me. Just sort of a marketing trick. (HBO series, recording at different cities for whatever reason, etc --> building hype) If it's a good album, I"ll pull the trigger. The eight tracks don't bother me as other people said they could be long and if they are not that shouldn't be a problem if it's eight good tracks. Also for the one guy posting about the UK shipping. This will definitely be available on EU sites in a couple of days (hours). thesewoodenideas and bungie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 This is too gimmicky for me. Just sort of a marketing trick. (HBO series, recording at different cities for whatever reason, etc --> building hype) ...or ya know, he's been in two legendary rock bands (and countless other musical projects) and pretty much accomplished everything you possibly can with a rock band and thought to himself "Let's do something different this time..." Dave Grohl really doesnt come off as someone who's into gimmicks. The hype would come with any Foo Fighters album no matter what. futures, Duff, tvham and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domiendr Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Seriously, is there anyone around more acomplished then Dave in modern rock music? He's a god. I know that well enough. But with the previous album it was recording in his garage or something and the first track they released was representing that but then the rest was more like a stadium rock affair that could've been recorded at any studio (so hence why I'm now like oh this is gimmicky and doesn't add anything for me). I'm just stating my opinion about this and I know it's not popular to say bad stuff about anything Dave Grohl touches but just wanted to add my two cents. I hope this will be an awesome album by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futures Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 oh man wasting light is so good though. i thought that album was really a successful representation of what they set out to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Definitely ordering the Seattle cover since that's where I'll be living and that's where it all began. People are complaining about the short track length, and they haven't even heard it yet. Maybe this is their heaviest and most epic shit to date! I'm personally stoked on this release and hope it gets back to their roots and shows how they evolved over and years. I like the direction WL took them and only expect great things. I'm also interested to hear what each song sounds like when considered which corresponding city/state it was recorded in. I'm sure the mini series will dive into that. I'm just wondering if they have a specific amount of pressings or will do per order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shifres Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I'll wait for the EU PO to come up, can't pull the trigger if the shipping price cost the same as the record itself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1876records Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 This is a fucking awesome idea. Best band in rock and always will be. Pre-ordered the New York cover since I just visited NYC a couple months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troymess Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Not too concerned which cover I get, so went with the amazon pre-order. Really excited to hear this album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotoriousTIMP Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 8 dollars for media mail shipping? Still I love the Foos and need that DC cover. Ordered. Normally I spend about $4-6 for media mail. I imagine that they get some kind of bulk price discount due to the amount of volume they (the label) ship out each month. Kinda makes you wonder if this is a shipping & handling charge......
