youspinmeround Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 It just had that Rider's on the Storm effect for me. The build up, his vocals, this band continues to impress me. Thinking of taking a paid day off of work and driving 7 hours to Denver to catch them next week. Probably a pipe dream but its very rare for me to consider driving that far for a musical act. the openers are fantastic but summit music hall sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathyou99 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 the openers are fantastic but summit music hall sucks Hadn't listened to either of them but I'll now check them out. Yeah, I won't question that, but Uncle Acid could play pretty much anywhere and I'd be into it. Most acts aren't really into coming to Kansas and when they do it's either Lawrence or KC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathyou99 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I also heard from a friend that saw them earlier that the tour version of the vinyl wasn't clear. It was more of a milky haze/clear version, for what it's worth to people that hadn't gotten a copy yet. Haven't seen it so I can't confirm it but that's what he said after he opened it when he got home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yancey47 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I got my clear die hard today and it looks much better in person. I'm pretty happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Definitely my favorite song as well. They were killing it on the slower tracks this album. "Slow Death" is also the track that really stands out for me so far too. It's a great space-out song. Man, those clean guitar chords, the clean lead harmonies and that Rhodes piano all over that soft soulful beat. I can't get over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I've yet to pick this up and wouldn't mind a tour copy. If they are coming near anyone and you can swing it give me a shout. They aren't coming near me. No stress either way. I'll grab a copy at some point.

valve Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 My purple copy has it but you have to hop the needle over a locked groove in order to get it to play. By the way, while we're talking about "Slow Death" and to shift the conversation a little more towards the content of the album and not so much about the LP's variable physical attributes weight/color/height/presidential-electiblity/etc., I want to say that I think "Slow Death" might be my favorite track on the album. The album is great but this song is so different and so sexy and fuckin' like 70's Soul style and weird that I can't believe its Uncle Acid (except for when you hear the vocal). I really love that they flirted with that style for this track. Its just killer and I love that its a long one. Yeah it's a great song. Overall I like this more than Mind Control, but Blood Lust remains my favorite. edit: I'd love a tour copy as well, please PM me if you have a chance to get one. I am good for my word that I will pay for it (I'm in the US). I'm going to the Bangor Bullmoose on Friday, if they have an extra green edition and anyone is looking for one, PM me.

valve Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Amoeba has it for $30, free shipping. No mention of what color it is. IIRC their webpage inventory system is real time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerk3745 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 So I don't have this in hand yet (lord only knows when I will) but I did download and listen to it on a long drive for work Monday night. This is a damn good record. 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathyou99 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Has anyone else who ordered silver heard anything or received any type of confirmation email yet? Don't think I'll be going through Rise Above in the future, this has been a fairly frustrating experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shifres Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I didn't get any info about the silver, it's been delayed due to manufacturing error it was said... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathyou99 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I didn't get any info about the silver, it's been delayed due to manufacturing error it was said... I knew about that, I think what has bothered me a little more is the fact that they can't respond to an email within 2 weeks. If the plant screwed up and hasn't given them replacements, I get that (out of their control) but you'd think they could email you some type of response within a reasonable time frame.

Mathyou99 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I'm with you on that. Fuck Rise Above and their shitty prices/service. I'm sure they are busy but they have an email to contact them on. I don't have Facebook anymore but can still view their page. I don't want to have to re-activate a social media network I don't want just to get a question answered. I've basically had to scroll through 30-40 comments just to get an idea about what's going on.

monsterrod Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 No splatter, obviously no silver, no communication from RA whatsoever. I sent them an email the day the Uncle Acid pre-order went up asking if I could cancel the splatter or at least combine shipping on both of my orders and never got a response. I understand that they must've been busy the day the PO went up, so I gave them some slack and politely followed up a couple weeks later with no response. It's one thing to be busy, it's one thing to get hit with a plant screw up/delay, it's another thing to blow off all communication and ignore emails from customers. I'm done ordering from Rise Above. I can only hope the next Uncle Acid album is put out by another label that doesn't suck as hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention they are charging exorbitant prices for die hard's that don't seem to offer as much in the way of perks as the last two.

Yep, they're not really responsive, try sending them another mail, sometimes they just forget to answer, seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shifres Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I got my shipping notification (finally) for the silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathyou99 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Still no shipping notice, another nice email unanswered. I'm just gonna re-activate my Facebook for 3 days to message them on there and afterward I won't be going through Rise Above again. Horrible pricing and customer service.

kevbayer Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 My friend got his silver yesterday, shipping notice 2 days prior. I have still not received my silver though nor shipping info and we ordered within 2 minutes of each other. We are both in upstate NY.

monsterrod Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Got my silver in today. Got shipping notification 2 days ago. I'm in Mass. Sold the splatter to a fellow board member. I'm a mix of underwhelmed by the minimal packaging, overwhelmed by the sheer weight of the records themselves, and relieved to finally have this in.

Mathyou99 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I hopped on my brother's FB account and it took them two minutes to reply. Said they were having problems with gmail/hotmail accounts and most had already shipped. They would be happy to look into my order on Monday. I'm done with these jokers, almost want my money back at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
