voltagedrop Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Was about to preorder this along with a copy of Fantasies, but then I saw that Fantasies was sold out. I hope they restock that otherwise I'll be cursing myself for failing to pick it up while it's in print AGAIN. Regardless, I really dig The Shade and am pretty hopeful for the new album. I think they had it up on Last Gang a couple weeks ago. It's sold out right now, but might be worth a periodic check: http://lastgang.myshopify.com/collections/music-vinyl/products/metric-fantasies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fowty Dollaz Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Man I want that cassette, but $20, seriously? . I feel you, but in all fairness, it includes the band's john-hancocks AND a digital download of the whole album plus like 2 or 3 bonus tracks. It's fairly priced if you take all that into account.

Fowty Dollaz Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I'm pretty stoked about the signed CS. My wife loves Metric and I have like 10 cassettes, so it' a very welcome addition. Plus it's been touched by Emily... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gcarn Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I missed this. What was it? I may want it... "The Synthetica Stereo Box originated from a Buenos Aires artist Andres Guerberoff. Emily proposed that Andres and the band come together to create a sort of diorama box that also holds music…THUS THE SYNTHETICA STEREO BOX WAS BORN! Inside the box there will be the Synthetica CD, a 20 pg booklet w/ mirrored mylar insert, 11x3D photographic slides (one for each song), instruction manual. The 20 booklet contains the photos from a group of architects in the 1960’s who came up with dystopian views on how the future would look, these are the photos that also inspired the whole Synthetica Album! Only 500 have been made and EACH AND EVERY ONE will be numbered and signed by THE BAND THEMSELVES (is it getting a little bit awesome in here or is it just Metric?! lol). The second I found out about this awesome stereo box I bought one immediately, I have to asmit I am MOST excited about the autographs but how freakin’ cool is this box?"

SNEAKORDS Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 this shipping shit is ridiculous. I wanted to pick up Synthetica as well, so that with the new LP preorder, shipping from Montreal to Vancouver is $30 fucking dollars. But I can ship the same package to Washington for $10. What. The. Fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarondltd Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 The tapes are signed and $20? Holy crap! I was really impressed when I heard live versions on the radio. Never would have imagined they would sound good almost unplugged like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sold out right now, but might be worth a periodic check: http://lastgang.myshopify.com/collections/music-vinyl/products/metric-fantasies Last Gang had 20% off special a couple of months ago and of course I had just ordered a few days before. I contacted them, and they wouldn't give me the discount (4 albums - I know I could have cancelled and reordered), but the point of all this is that he rep gave me a 20% off coupon good for the remainder of this year and said that Lang Gang had planned to repress Fantasies this year (2015). So, keep an eye on Twitter, etc as I am thinking when they go up, they may not last long. He didn't say how many would be pressed, but Last Gang prices were a lot better than Metric site - and Fantasies was available on their site a couple months ago (but price was steep).

aarondltd Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Dammit! Justified this by the signatures and the fact that a few weeks ago I got Fantasies on CD for $2 a few weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aarondltd Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Anyone know if the metric store takes payment now, or when shipping? I think Amazon is the only place I have used that waits until shipping. I got the EP so I can't say for sure. dreddfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure it's immediate. I've never preordered from there store, though. I will say: they do a pretty great packaging job and always get my stuff to me in a hurry.
