Stress On The Sky Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I got so pissed with Anti-'s faffing I cancelled my deluxe and picked up a bog standard 180gram black copy for under £20. I don't know how it could have gone so wrong, think it definitely feels more of a severe let down as they used to be on Deathwish who are always so on point they show most labels up.

Derek™ Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 lol. am i the only one who didn't cancel? I was right there with you up until a couple of days ago, when I saw how the variants turned out. That blue is indeed gross and nowhere near worth the wait.

Shelby Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Let's see a closeup of the green. That's what I cancelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebilljim Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 lol. am i the only one who didn't cancel? Nah, I held out till the bitter end. Less about wanting the variant that I'd ordered, and more about the hilarity of actually waiting the whole debacle out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattisr1984 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 What! A blue record that looks blue. That's so fucking stupid. burkyburk, Rip, fugazi and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 What! A blue record that looks blue. That's so fucking stupid. Considering the mockup had a cool blue-in-blue (possible haze or swirl) snazzy effect going on – and it took half a fucking year to find out that it's just a generic opaque blue – I'd say it's pretty dumb, yeah. daegor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on, now. Most people here having been buying records at least long enough to know that mockups aren't always accurate. They said the record would be blue and, lo and behold, it's blue. I agree the pre-order was a complete and utter joke. it shouldn't have taken that long and the canned responses from customer service was insulting but that's really whats at the heart of people's annoyance. If it arrived on time, I don't think anyone would even care and those that do would probably get panned for caring what their colored vinyl looks like.

If it arrived on time, I don't think anyone would even care and those that do would probably get panned for caring what their colored vinyl looks like. Yeah, there have been several threads lately where people have voiced their distaste with mockups. I know as well as you or anyone else that they're not always 100% accurate, but I was just hoping for something a bit cooler that'd warrant such a delay, you know? There is literally nothing that can be considered fancy about that "pale blue" variant, outside of the fact that's among the rarer variants of the press. It looks like so many run-of-the-mill "junk" marble-opaque records. I don't know. I just really wanted to believe, I guess, and I'm struggling to determine why on earth it was delayed so much.

drewberinger Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 it's a nice dark green so I like it - I dunno what I'm gonna do with it since I also have the black copy but oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bortx Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Ordered coke bottle clear at first because I thought it would be the coolest one. Cancelled it months ago when I got my hands on a purple, because it was just beautiful and I was tired of waiting.In the end I have the one I like the most, thanks to this joke of a preorder I guess...
