dvv Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I actually like the VMP colors better than the Newbury one.pink records are a favorite of mine but swirls always come out better looking than CIC so I'm going for the Newbury route, plus it doesn't hurt that it's more limited for anyone that cares. a downside though is FUCK Newbury shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paralyticstalks Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Ugh I hate to be that guy but I guess I'm variant collecting this now....

YouTwo Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I'm probably going to kick myself later, because all of these versions look pretty cool, but I'll just stick with my standard black version I already have on order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewberinger Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 fuck that VMP variant is dope too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadDonut Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Dang I may have to variant collect this also. VMP and Newbury are both looking great. Kind of weird that CT isn't releasing any info on that variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldKentuckyShark Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Watch it be white.It would be difficult for them to release a white variant of this with a straight face.Or really any solid color variant at this point in time copelandkid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobannaboc Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I'm in for all the variants. The packaging and wax looks too amazing to pass up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellnow Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 This release is bringing out the variant collectors in everybody! Think the Newbury one looks fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paralyticstalks Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I feel like this would look great on just plain clear vinyl. If that's what CT is planning I am a-ok with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvv Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I feel like this would look great on just plain clear vinyl. If that's what CT is planning I am a-ok with it.the CT pressing is supposed to have "special packaging" so if it's not like an alt cover or sleeve then I'm probably going to just cancel it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdkaiser Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 When does the DIIV VMP go on sale? If I purchase the "crate" membership today or tomorrow, can I purchase the DIIV album? Or do I have to wait til a certain date? I cannot find any info on VMP. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 When does the DIIV VMP go on sale? If I purchase the "crate" membership today or tomorrow, can I purchase the DIIV album? Or do I have to wait til a certain date? I cannot find any info on VMP. Thanks. Purchase the sub at any point (tonight, tomorrow, etc. – it's good for a month). The store will be open tomorrow morning with the DIIV exclusive variant up for grabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewberinger Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I'm afraid the pink and white color-in-color will get washed out or come out looking lighter because it's opaque - I know when Self Defense Family did a black in white color variant the black is very light and hardly present Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamalatapes Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 (not to be taken seriously) I think I read someone said it reminded them of Sonic Youth. I don't mean this as a cynic response but as a long time Sonic Youth fan since the 90s, I whole heartedly disagree that this is anywhere near that sound. First off, Sonic Youth had completely obscure guitar tunings, and I can confidently say diiv are hell bent on standard tuning plucking two strings at a time. Just because your boy zach cole smitty starts to rep Sonic Youth on his tumblr doesn't mean they 'sound' like Sonic Youth aesthetically. It was the same with Kurt Cobain. Somehow, zach cole smitty convinced tons of tumblr tweens that him and sky were the next Kurt/Courtney and that maybe their music, (which is far off from Nirvana's or Courtneys Band's sound) matched sonically. I don't know what the hell is going on with listeners these days but I had to clear that up lol. Howeverrrrr I do love this album. It's alot airier and poppier while there are some dark maybe more fiercer tracks than Oshiin. Think dreampop meets post punk with that crunchy yet heavy bass. Like literally that's all I could think of this album as, which totally isn't a bad thing, it's very pleasurable to listen to.Still my fav Dive track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I really hope the first half of that post is a steamy serving of copypasta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vector53 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Yeah, I think I'm going to cancel my CT copy and get the Newbury version especially because of the fact that they got a sweet-looking version of the Broken Bells S/T that I can't believe no one pressed before they did.

OldKentuckyShark Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I'm going to put all of my faith in CT coming out with the best version regardless of its pressing number which matters little to me. But it will be the last time I do if they fail miserably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantdance Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Yeah, I'm crossing my fingers CT is actually working on something awesome. Can't believe they haven't shown any details yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vector53 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 If they are pressing 2000+ for the deluxe, odds are that you will at least see some pop up in local shops. Also having experienced CT being slow at shipping stuff before even when you pre-order (Salad Days poo-banana colored repress), I don't really want to wait for my record.
