_stretts Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 What's the total variant count on this? has to be more than 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I don't understand why so many variants were needed? Oh, to get your money. Can we just get a black copy and call it a day? As someone who's into limited editions, colored variants, and "early bird" perks – a black press of 2k or 3k and a single colored variant /1,000 would've been perfect. I agree that there are way too many (unnecessary) variants for this release. Really would've been nice to see Deathwish handle this release.

distinctlydustin Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Someone will come in and defend all the variants... and they will not be sane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 has to be more than 10 I haven't been following it too closely, but off the top of my head; – Grey / white marble mix. – Dark blue. – Coke bottle green. – Yellow. – Euro "green with white marble". – Euro pink. – Clear. – Band / tour "pale lavender". – Black. I believe that just about covers it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunsetDramaKing17 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 The Pale Lavender/ purple with the embossed cover that Jhulud posted looks incredible. I wish I had just ordered that one. But I have a yellow coming eventually. I would jump all over the purple if I can find one cheaper than the 65 bucks they want on discogs.

MayCauseDeath Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Anyone want to trade my euro presses or the blue / yellow for a purple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Anyone want to trade my euro presses or the blue / yellow for a purple? Not to squash your trade proposition, but trading out a euro copy is going to be a pretty hard sell. It sounds like they're basically inferior on all fronts, which is really disappointing. I'm probably going to sell my seafoam green at cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the embossed cover what makes them inferior? I haven't read the last pages but mine sound perfect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't read the last pages but mine sound perfect? The jacket is a lot flimsier than the U.S. press, and those who've managed to score both a Euro copy and a tour / band press have done a side-by-side comparison, and find the U.S. press to sound [a bit] better. I only ordered a Euro copy because I assumed it would sound significantly better than the stateside copies, but that doesn't appear to be the case this time around.

daegor Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Once this is all said and done I'd love for one of you variant collectors to do a full cross comparison. I'm thinking about selling mine at cost and getting a different variant as well (whenever I actually get it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Is the clear really happening? Unless it gets changed at the last second, clear is supposed to be the "indie" exclusive. Bull Moose, local record shops, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fugazi Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I have the tour press and all European presses and can definitely say that (like Derek already pointed out) the US version is in all points superior to the European version. No matter if it comes to jacket or sound quality. That being said if you have the chance to cancel or trade your European copies for an US copy: do it.

Bull Moose, local record shops, etc. I have that one sitting around, waiting to fulfill after the 'color' change. We'll see what happens.

DarcX Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Wow! Glad I was a bit ignorant to the fact that Anti-'s Euro presses are (typically) superior or I definitely would've gone for one of those. However, the American presses are definitely also superior in delays. :| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negron Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 They had records in Chicago last night...but they weren't the tour variant. Didn't get a chance to ask which they were, but likely something from the Euro press, as the sleeves were clearly not embossed. Picked up a copy tonight in Toronto and all they have are black. They have a ton of them, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnywreck Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 we aren't gonna get this record till December at least - I have a hard time believing these will be ready by November 13th YOU CALLED IT. Just received an e-mail from Bullmoose stating that this was now delayed til 12/11. Oh well, I'm just glad they don't charge til shipping!
