dirac Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Just got the black 180g from their UK store. £30.5 shipped to london, with standard shipping coming in at £2.50. That is cheaper than I can post an LP so fair play to them on that one. Over all, this is what I'd have expected to pay, but yea you guys in the US are getting screwed.

Le Gogh Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Hmm. I would definitely prefer the black, not too keen on the white really and I'm guessing that's the standard retail version. I may just have to bite the bullet on that black at £30... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asphyz Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Yea, I think you may regret it if you don't. You can feel pretty confident it will sound good, and it's numbered, most limited etc... If you're into that. £30 all in isn't really too awful thinking about it. dirac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highfives Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Man, as much as I want the 180 gram, I'm having a really hard time convincing myself it's worth an extra $15 compared to the Amazon version... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same. $30 isn't great but I can swallow that. Damn near $50 is fucking insane. If they would just cut the shipping in half I would've impulse bought it last night.

ejc625 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Curious if Amazon will carry the 140g White or the 180g black. Also, the picture on Deftones website makes it look like a 2xLP, but can't seem to find any confirmation on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebilljim Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Really loving the new song that got released, but these preorder prices are easily convincing me to just wait until retail copies show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iron666monkey Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 $46.56 shipped for a record that's limited to 3,500 copies........$40 t-shirts.......Deftones should win an award for best in ripping off their fans. cfrancese5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcpherson123 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 So we all know that Warner Bros. is a major label at this point. And what are the prices like when you are buying vinyl from a major label direct from the label/band website? They're shit. They have always been ever since the vinyl revival has begun. They know exactly how to rip people off and that the people will lap it up. I hope to fucking GOD that the retail is NOT white. I will not be stuck owning this album on white vinyl. I just won't. I also don't want to be gouged on a "180 gram" hyped up price. That weight is bullshit. I'll take 120 gram black every day over that as long as its mastered and pressed with care. I guess I really just hope that the retail is black and not white. Fuck white. And I don't want to have to buy that 180 just so I can have it on black but I'll do what I must. I wish we could have info on the retail press from the label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the picture on Deftones website makes it look like a 2xLP, but can't seem to find any confirmation on that. Judging by the "exclusive to the Deftones music store" banner on the Warner store I think you can rule out 180g black at Amazon. Also that same banner says "2LP", sooooo yea it's a double. vinyl addict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highfives Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I think it's pretty strange how this whole thing rolled out. There was zero awareness of a preorder. No talk about when you'd be able to buy or what you'd be able to buy. You'd think with such a large label supporting it, you'd have more information, but I guess not.And even though white gets hated on, literally all the time, I've yet to have a bad white pressing. Palms, Crosses, Minus the Bear and British Theatre are some white LPs I own and none of them sound bad. Granted I haven't A/B'd them with different colors, but I've never thought they sounded worse than any black LP I have. But maybe other people have had shittier experiences with white? At any rate, this release has been strange, the pricing blows, and it seems like even with all the hype, people who are most stoked about the release are ending up being the most disappointed upon first glance. And that sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
