DecayToDeath Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Still, this thing is not as glorious as TLOU and seems a little "thrown together" for such a major release. The price is unjustified - except that they know it'll sell because it's Fallout. They could sell Fallout-branded turd sandwiches and they'd sell out during preorder. Well yeah, I already said I'm not keen on the price, just saying I think the art is cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinch Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Minimal doesn't necessarily mean lazy, and lazy doesn't mean bad. And this isn't minimal Seriously, I love minimalism, but this is far from it. This is just your average promo poster, with passable composition, and it really goes poorly with the gatefold cover as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinch Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Gatefold cover? What? Have they shown the fold yet? Nah, it just said that it's four pocket tri-fold, and I'm guessing it's the "you're special" cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalnutSoap Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Like I said before, the Last of Us record barely justified it's price because it was a 4LP set with custom Olly Moss art. SpaceLab ALWAYS phone in the design of their records, using the same old key-art wherever possible. This is not worth $85. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not worth the price because it's 3 discs and the ambient score isn't that great, but I care a lot less about the art than I do the music. If I really liked the soundtrack and it was only $50, but came in a blank white box, I'd probably still get it for the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalnutSoap Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I get that, and I would too. But the two things combined are leading me to consider skipping this release, which is disappointing, because I'm both a massive Fallout fan and a collector of VG music on vinyl.

Satan Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 i dont fucking understand the majority of you. you know what a new LP sells for now a days, so why the hell are you bitching about the price? 3 LP, four pocket tri fold, box set, LICENSING costs + hype of Fallout 4 + demand for this to happen for YEARS. The price seems pretty fucking justified. Remember that the pic disc, is going to be about $27-32 from HT so it's not that goddamn bad. Get over yourselves. edit : and free shipping.

No This Is Patrick Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I consider myself a Christian man... but I agree with Satan for once in my life Think of it this way: would you pay what it costs now, or $200 (when it's bound to be sold out) on eBay next year?

The new Titus Andronicus album came in one of those big trifold book sleeves... also 3LP and with a poster and only cost something like $30. Just sayin'.

True. Soundtracks in general are weird in the vinyl world. But for me, I like the score, I like Fallout, I'm probably gonna be a sucker for this release. It'll get some decent playing time, it just won't be the pride and joy and most spun of my collection. But, depending on what's on that 7", that might actually be the first to disintegrate. Love me them oldies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing to understand; it's a message board and people are expressing their opinions about pricing and artwork for the release. If every post on this board was "I love this release and can't wait to pay $85 for it!!" this place would be boring as fuck to come back to.

I know what you're getting at, and if I were in the states then I would 100% buy this without hesitation, but, for me it's probably gonna end up costing almost double because of shipping, import tax, and the mandatory customs handling charge of around £10. In fact I just did a quick estimate and it's potentially gonna cost in the region of $150 for me to get this.... Guess my circumstances are a little different to most of you guys, but that's why I'm on the fence. That price is making me question whether it's worth it.
