YesPlease Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 hey if anyone missed out on this and wants a copy, there's one for sale on eBay for just $799! There probably won't be another deal like this, so don't wait too long to bite the bullet this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throughbeingcruel Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Just brought mine in off the front porch. It's a fuckin' beast, very well done. And before I get someone asking for pics, it looks the exact same as the mockup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippingOut Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 As a free item I got a signed embossed print of Dark Is The Way Light Is A Place Love this boxset, the booklet has a commentary on the recording process of each album along with some cool pictures. The epilogue is the lyrics to Time And Confusion. Reading through the commentary and seeing that as the last part of the booklet made me tear up.

Shit man, I hope I get something signed too, I wanna freaking frame something! Anything! Haha Also, I have a feeling I'm going to get emotional when I open this up and get to sit down and listen through it. So many damn memories with their music. Anberlin for life.

As someone who already has an OP of every LP (including of New Surrender; don't ask what I paid for it on eBay), I was most looking forward to what is contained in the booklet they put together for this: a detailed account of the thoughts and feelings that went into each record. Deon did a really good job putting this all together and I'm very happy to have this little window into their world to peer through now. There's a fantastic quote on the first page from english modernist and writer Virgina Woolf about how significant and "complete" emotions about something can only be truly formed well after the event has passed, and the band uses this, along with an epilogue in the form of the song "Time & Confusion"'s lyrics in their entirety to bookend a really, really nice account of the band's career from start to finish. TL;DR: i'm happy as a pig in shit rn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpazzyMcGee Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) I really am so glad to have these...but...minorly disappointed in the covers and lack of color. That's all I'll say but I'm so excited to have these albums, cleaning and spinning right away!

It IS pretty sparse, color-wise...however, I don't think they did anything to hide that fact when they posted the mocks. The mockups were pretty spot on, actually.

jmsmusic Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 lol.. I wonder what i'll get with mine! I'm not sure I'm within the first 200. I stalled at first kinda because how expensive international shipping was. Eventually I just went ahead and bought two to 'even' out the shipping cost..

[Banned User] Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Absolutely gorgeous packaging. So happy to add this to my collection. It's all well thought out. ThaT being said, it made me want to complete their single LP's even more. Still need NTFP and New SurrenDer if anyone is willing to sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFP Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 This is a good looking set. I like how the Obi band has color on the underside too. Its not just a printed pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
