Derek™ Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 CRUCIAL UPDATE: I am now getting an error page with a picture of a squid. The waiting game isn't as bad now, except that I already need another beer. I'm not trying to cause shit with you or anyone else, but didn't you say that the new song was totally boring? And that you're fully expecting to be disappointed by the new album? Not that I'm complaining about keeping everyone informed - especially since there seems to be a good bit of hype for this record - but I just find it funny that you're spearheading the PO updates despite being 1 of 2 people who don't enjoy the new sound. Please don't take offense to any of that; you can chalk it up to pure curiosity on my end. Did you have a sudden change of heart? (For what it's worth, I'm not exactly sold with the new track, either.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouLoveHisWife Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 dammit, it crashed again but it looks like they're priced at $17.99 and the variant colors are Black, Navy, and "Cola". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't take offense to any of that; you can chalk it up to pure curiosity on my end. Did you have a sudden change of heart? (For what it's worth, I'm not exactly sold with the new track, either.) Fair question. I find the new track boring, but as I said, The Lack Long After is one of my favorite records of all time. I will always be excited for Pianos material, even if I'm not totally digging this new track, and even if the album doesn't have screaming vocals, and even if it is a Will Yip record, I'm still excited. Also, it's late here, and I'm tired sitting in a hotel lobby drinking beer, therefore I'm just lurking this thread and posting too much. No offense taken, I like you, and my posts probably do sound contradictory to my reaction to the song. Also, there are 55 people in this thread.

subplotofcrows Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Wonder if there will be a hidden "mailing list" variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewillisisdead Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 $17.99? Ew. Just another reminder that I love Topshelf. topshelfsquad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense taken, I like you, and my posts probably do sound contradictory to my reaction to the song. That's fair enough. I figured the main reason you'd be amped for this album is due to a loyalty to the band's back catalog. Which is understandable, seeing as they've had a great streak. I'll at least give the new album a listen with an open mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of weird how you get attached to a label after supporting them for so long, and as cheesy as it sounds, Topshelf seems close to me, if that makes sense. And I don't feel that way about any other label, at all. topshelfsquad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alogical Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 dammit, it crashed again but it looks like they're priced at $17.99 and the variant colors are Black, Navy, and "Cola". kind of sick of black as the rarest variant. Mock me all you want, but I feel like this year most of the releases I've bought have had 180g black as the rarest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming Navy will be /300 and black /1000? we shall see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not say hi because I am a mess of social anxiety and awkwardness. I think it's funny that there are a bunch of articles/posts popping up with pre-order links but the site is still fucked.

I did not say hi because I am a mess of social anxiety and awkwardness. Yeah, I always find those situations weird too. It's almost as if you feel like you know them pretty well, but to them you're just another kid at a show. And that's not to sound degrading, but it's true. They don't know who you are, you know who they are. "Hey I really like your label and post religiously on VC and have preordered every record you've released for the past 3 years". ...cool... Also, was that the Sandy Hook benefit show? Probably not, that was like a year and a half ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are always on their game with announcements, info and have a quick turnaround rate with customer service. Def wish this was coming out on TSR as well. topshelfsquad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, was that the Sandy Hook benefit show? Probably not, that was like a year and a half ago. It was MHTJ's 2nd to last show (end up being 3rd to last) and Reasons to Be release. I was at the Sandy Hook benefit though. What's funny is my buddy lived in Allston and met Kevin a few times while hanging out with a mutual friend. My friend listens exclusively to EDM so he had no idea Topshelf was a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvv Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 If you miss rarer colors on the American store, you can most likely get them on the euro store for literally about $5 more shipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladewillisisdead Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 MHTJ/Hostage Calm at the Hungarian Club was nuts. I stood off to the side though hahaha I was up against the stage for all of MHTJ. It was awesome to see them one last time. Here's me as the heavens fell to the dirt (red shirt): I was so bummed I had to leave before With Honor. Also, my raffle number was one off from winning the Seasons in Verse, Virgin Sails, Season in Verse test press, and Heavenly Bodies lathe /1 prize pack.

Bladewillisisdead Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I've actually never lived in CT, haha. I'm in Upstate NY and the music scene in my area is garbage so I drive out to CT once in awhile to see bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
