mg53 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Every time I see this thread bumped, I crave this album. Every time I see this thread bumped I expect another delay. Glad to see that's not the case today! I hope my copy arrives soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throughbeingcruel Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Every time I see this thread bumped I expect another delay. Glad to see that's not the case today! I hope my copy arrives soon. I feel terrible for everyone who preordered this, because I walked into my local record store to buy an Atmosphere reissue and grabbed this while I was there, like a month ago.

Gumbo72203 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I ordered from King's Road... does this mean that those are shipping as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seku Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I know it was talked several times, but is the delayed 'deluxe' one the same as 'band' violet? I got the latter and it also has embossed cover. So, if that's the same, where the reason for the delay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhitmuzik Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 probably rushed some copies for tour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throughbeingcruel Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 probably rushed some copies for tourAs mentioned above, my local as a ton of these and has for a few weeks now. Probably the label/band trying to make as much money as possible, cuz they aren't getting any more money from people waiting on PO's.

Skellington Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I ordered from King's Road... does this mean that those are shipping as well? I received a shipping confirmation from Kings Road the other day. I should have it by Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliminator Jr. Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Just got word that the white/black with embossed cover got delayed to january 15th. No word from KRM though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllFuzzedOut Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 The only thing I hate about this record is that you have to flip the fucking record after EVERY TRACK. Of course side D fits the last two tracks... This. I was thinking they should have put the album on sides 1-3, so there is more listening per side, and then add "From The Kettle Onto The Coil" as Side D as a vinyl-only bonus track. tetsuodaironman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo72203 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 finally got my shipping confirmation notice from King's Road...... I can't believe I fucking ordered this in god-damn JULY. Nearly half a year before it shows up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mg53 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 finally got my shipping confirmation notice from King's Road...... I can't believe I fucking ordered this in god-damn JULY.

daegor Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I got the yellow. Worst PO in vinyl history? Depends if you include Kickstarter and the like or not, I ordered the new Trenches album I think three years ago now. It might come out sometime next year?

Gumbo72203 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 If you started pre-ordering records in 2015, maybe. Hence the question mark. I'd love to hear some of the other big horror stories you guys have had to endure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natenomm Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Well, here's a Glassjaw thread: http://boards.vinylcollective.com/topic/92356-glassjaw-coloring-book-vinyl-limited-to-120-unique-color-combos-816/?hl=glassjaw jonnywreck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebilljim Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I'm still waiting on my copy. I completely forget what color I even ordered...I think I went with blue just because it matched the cover art the best IMO. BTW, that Glassjaw thread is what convinced me to join the VC forums instead of just lurking. The whole damn thread was just too entertaining.

Gumbo72203 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Well, got my CD yesterday. Gotta say, listening to this in the car with appropriate focus makes a WORLD of difference. This album is actually pretty awesome! It's still not quite as good as Sunbather, but it is very much a worthy release, and very much signature Deafheaven without rehashing the past completely. My main gripe is the weak guitar tones. On the palm-muted chugging riffs, especially like that (in my opinion, unnecessary) bridge right before the ending outro theme, the palm-mutes just sound weak. There isn't enough overdrive, and just a little too much mid-range in the sound to make it really powerful. Baby Blue is definitely my favorite track so far, though. That opening first few minutes just absolutely kills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ephemeral Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I feel like the palm muting may sound weak because they use so many big chords and such that if they used more distortion those parts would just sound like too much of a mess. I'm really liking this album though. I just picked up the regular black version from my local record shop and it sounds great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo72203 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Every time they go for the chugging, it just sounds weak though. I don't know what the solution would be. But holy lord the outro to Come Back is so good. Lots of amazing fucking fucking parts to this album. Can't wait for the vinyl spin. Gifts From The Earth's outro is huge and needs to be extended like 4 minutes live. I can't get enough. Luna is what I think I was talking about in my post just above, though. You wanna get to that awesome outro, and that chugging bridge riff is just kinda unnecessary to the song IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zerohacker Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Has KRM started shipping these yet? Deafheaven posted on their Facebook that they had them and "are currently en route to you", that was December 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
