Giekorock Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Metric is playing a secret show in my city today, that they're apparently playing a ton of the new record at. Unfortunately I am not attending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fowty Dollaz Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Was it sealed? Generally speaking, I think they come in cellophane. Mine did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarondltd Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Generally speaking, I think they come in cellophane. Mine did. And it was still signed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowty Dollaz Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Yeah, I think they signed the inside of the J cards prior to packaging. Probably directly from the printers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarondltd Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Yeah, I think they signed the inside of the J cards prior to packaging. Probably directly from the printers. Oh wow ok. I was a bit annoyed because I just got it and thought it wasn't signed because it was sealed and was so frustrated I didnt feel like opening it.

aarondltd Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 It's definitely probably signed. Yeah I just thought maybe when the "limited" signed ones ran out they just sent plain ones without saying which would be messed up. Got the ugly yellow one but thats cool. Is this how they wrap tapes now or is it just these because they were signed? I remember the folded corner plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've bought some newer cassettes that were old-school sealed, but I think this one is because of what you said. Side note: my wife just made me aware of a $0.53 international bank fee from when I ordered this with my debit card. I'm all about supporting bands, but I don't want to support some warmongering nation who thinks it's going pound its chest throughout the wor...oh wait... just kidding Canadians, I'd probably move there if it wasn't so goddamn cold.

This could turn into pages of "that didn't happen to me" and "my receipt says it did". I'm too lazy to see if its true myself. I guess I should hook up a tape player, hope that it works, and check out these other 2 songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a big Metric fan, so I didn't get all hot and bothered over it, but my wife really liked it. It's definitely something cool to have! And that last track looks like an EP exclusive, unlike the other 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very cool and despite what the cassette collective thread thinks, $20 for all that is pretty good for a band that is actually known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the price didn't offend my wife (who is very frugal) it shouldn't offend any fan of Metric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewlucas Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 Anyone want to let me use their download code? I'm going to place my order in about a week. I'll just order all the albums on vinyl at once to use my personal discount code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just order all the albums on vinyl at once to use my personal discount code. I don't know if it works right now. Maybe for a couple of the tracks? I'm sure my wife will use it, but if not you can get mine. -because I will be ordering the vinyl anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aarondltd Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Cool I'm going to connect a tape deck and give it a listen. Hope it doesn't get eaten. "Oh yeah woohoo! Too bad woohoo! So sad woohoo!" Probably not their best so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfarreller Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 oof anyone want to hook me up with some mp3s/audio of the ep?? couldn't afford that and the vinyl, but really want to hear it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarondltd Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 There's only 2 of the 4 songs available for download at the moment I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfarreller Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 someone's bound to rip the audio off the cassette though right ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarondltd Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Don't think my system is good enough. Sounded muffled to me. Probably needs a demagnetizer or whatever I used to use back in the day. Just an old JVC deck I got for free and Im sure the belt is going to go out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
