elsanto Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Got the 180 gram black. The music just destroys as expected. But my pressing is definitely noisy in some places (even after anti-static brush cleaning). In some ways that just adds to the whole experience of this great album though.

Freki Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Still haven't received mine either. West Coast here. If it doesn't help you maybe it will help someone... Make sure the card you pre-ordered with is still valid, otherwise Relapse will just cancel your order without even letting you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 Got my order today. Jackets are flippin' thick and really nice. Started playing my black 180 (not that I care about weight) and it sounds amazing. It sounds so much better through my table setup than the CD does through the same home stereo and car. On the CD the guitars feel polished, pushed back and controlled. On the LP they sound huge and upfront. Much better. I've only hear the first half of "Two Urns" on the LP so far but if the rest of the album sounds as good, I'll be pretty happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron666monkey Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I e-mailed Relapse yesterday requesting tracking info. I mistakenly double ordered this album and asked for one of my orders to be canceled so I wanted to also make sure both hadn't been axed. Fortunately that wasn't the case, and the tracking shows the package sitting in MI. I'm in VA, so hopefully it will be here by weeks end.

craiginphilly Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Anyone else get the splatter /150 and didn't get a download code? Kinda bummed about that. Use a flashlight and check inside the sleeve again. I thought mine was missing as well, but the card was at was at the bottom of the sleeve stuck in the spine and almost impossible to see.

mcpherson123 Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 I gave up trying to fit the 180 gram into the actual jacket sleeve pouches. Not worth it and I usually just tuck the LP's into the center of the gatefold for storage anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron666monkey Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Pretty sure Relapse has turned into the worst label ever when it comes to shipping. I didn't have problems w/ them for years, and now, over the past 2 years, it's non stop. E-mailed asking for tracking on my Windhand a few days, get a pretty prompt response w/ the tracking #, only the tracking # is for someone in Michigan showing delivered. I e-mail back saying I'm not in Michigan, please send me the correct tracking # and reiterate my order #. They reply that they're e-mailing the warehouse to find out what's going on. Today I get a follow up e-mail w/ a new tracking # and a return label, the return label is for some dude in Michigan to ship a record back. I reply that once again, I don't live in Michigan, I'm in VA and give them the order #. So, the saga continues..... Metal Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron666monkey Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Finally got this today. The jacket is super heavy, similar to the Neurosis jackets. I think the green/purple merge spatter looks killer. The a/b records looks significantly different from the c/d, which is pretty rad. Now that I'm done ooogling over the vinylz, it's time to spin this bad motha. Also, that slip mat is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't even trip when it comes to Relapse and their lack of correct shipping info. My records always show up and it's never an unreasonable wait. Just takes a little patience.

I usually don't even worry about Relapse either, in time the stuff shows up, but I I hadn't followed up this time I definitely never would have gotten my order since they mixed up and sent it to someone else. The packaging was beast when I finally got it, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cambionic Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I still haven't got my package. I'm hoping one day soon it'll show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cambionic Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Got mine in today! Damn, this album is heavy (both in content and physical construction) and the vinyl is beautiful. Strange thing is that the USPS opened my package for some reason, then retaped it with tape that said it was opened... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterrod Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I could be wrong, and I usually am, but I think the USPS occasionally opens packages shipped Media Mail to ensure that the only products contained in the package are those that qualify for media mail.

apirk Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Yeah media mail is subject to inspection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cambionic Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Yeah, I didn't think it was a big deal, it was just the first time that's ever happened with a package of mine. Given it was shipped in a rather large box and double-boxed with filler paper - I didn't even think it was a record when I saw it on my porch.

I'm shocked they care and have a want to properly do their job. I guess there's a first for everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8ight Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Back-ordered through my record shop... gotta wait... bummer... But I got Soma instead. Never heard of these guys before this new album's release, but they're pretty awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ephemeral Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Just picked this up from my local record store today. Was pleasantly surprised to see it was the baby blue variant when I got home. Awesome album though. I never heard of them before and picked up Soma when I ordered this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 I slowly grew into Windhand. I can't imagine how awesome it would be to have discovered them today and have 3 LP's and an EP to digest all at once. I'd probably lose my mind. Definitely locate a copy of the self-titled album. Its amazing and the mixing and mastering are killer. And don't forget the Cough split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Mine ended up going to the previous address I had. I thought I caught it in time, but Relapse was just slow to update the status. I have no way of getting it. Anyone have any experience with this before? Will Relapse send another one out or am I shit out of luck?

If you did, you will have to pay shipping again when you pick up from the post office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
