Bladewillisisdead Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 All of these look amazing and I'm so mad I watched these go on sale and hadn't gotten into the album yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluescreenlife Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 On the off chance anyone wants to trade a VF for Deluxe, I'd be down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deer Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) Alright... after dozens of obsessive listens, many spins on the turntable, and reading closely alongside the lyrics... this album is hitting me hard. I made the right choice buying two copies of this. It's absolutely incredible, dense, and is deeply upset and somber when following along. I love it. It works between the hard-hitting songs and slower, beautiful ones ending in an incredibly heart-wrenching closer. Watching the documentary all the way through helped the context of the album sink in so much more. With what's already been released and what's promised to come, this is a true AOTY contender for me now, I take back what I said earlier. I'm gunna cherish my Vertigo Flowers edition so much. I may end up with a third copy if I find a deluxe somewhere for a reasonable price. This band is really good.

I really enjoyed GoE, and spun ToT a few times before seeing them in London, but seeing them live sealed it for me. ToT is really clicking for me now too. I know I am repeating myself, but I think they are my favourite band. Really tempted by the VF splatter, despite the gouging prices. My previous most spent on a record was £250 (400 USD?) so we might be approaching that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DecayToDeath Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I may be out of the loop on this, but how do you get clear if it's not sold on Relapse and you're not to request it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a family/friends variant. Some leak out into the world that way. 10 are being auctioned off with VF covers. Basically you need to work at Relapse, be close to someone at Relapse, or pay a shit load of money.

drds89 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I do find my interest rather front-heavy and taper at tracks 7,8,9, but a great closer. Hum's "Stars" heavy riff tribute on Curse Of The Sun keeps me coming back for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Soooo...this album is not AOTY material for me. I hate to say it, but it's true. I don't know if it just got hyped to death, or what. It's really great, I enjoy it, but I think the tracks could have been rearranged to be a more cohesive album. There isn't a single "bad" song on here, but as a whole it just isn't doing it for me like I'd hoped. Sad Heart and abovetheearth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suckers. Unless your friend bought it from the label's discogs store, then they either hooked him up or also goofed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying $125 isn't a fair offer, just that there's a large area between $125 and $250. An offer over $200 probably wouldn't be declined as fast.

It feels like a lot of eBay sellers that take offers on a $250 item won't accept anything lower than $249.99. It's really annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
