timsimmons Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 yes please. I never bought the EP, so I'm happy to pick this up despite having the original LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExtraFox Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Note that the band store ships from Canada (finally a break for the Canuks here). It's also up at Sub Pop for you USA-ians. https://megamart.subpop.com/releases/wolf_parade/apologies_to_the_queen_mary_deluxe_edition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeJoe Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 64$ CAD shipped for the shirt, record and silk screen is a steal.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erthan Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 64$ CAD shipped for the shirt, record and silk screen is a steal.... +tax but still not a terrible price. and less hands to potentially damage it. I'm really excited to hear the Wolf Parade version of Snakes On The Ladder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeromium Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 GREAT price for a 3LP, especially thinking of Newbury's exclusive single LP prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidney Crosley Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I'm hoping that it'll show up in some record stores. I already own the OP (and those who don't, you'll probably find some cheap second-hand ones once this is out - this is such an essential album). I never liked any of the stuff they put out after this quite as much as Apologies - and I revisit this record all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floyd_z Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Yes! This looks like an awesome package for a great price. All hail sub pop! you'll probably find some cheap second-hand ones once this is out I think you can buy the single LP for about $10 or $12 new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAXXX Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I think you can buy the single LP for about $10 or $12 new you can, but it sounds like shite. definitely looking forward to the remastered version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromium Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I've never been a Wolf Parade fan, in fact I couldn't stand what they were doing when they hit the scene, but did finally listen to this album a few times about 4 years ago as it's well-regarded for 2005. and I liked a few tracks. Based on the attractiveness of this package I decided to revisit the album today. And still, aside from those few songs I can't help but hear what I initially heard in 2005 - a Modest Mouse copycat album that came out right after MM hit the mainstream. This and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, I couldn't stand them for having that "I wish I was Issac Brock" sound. I've never listened to that album and don't plan to, and like I said there are some quite good songs on this Wolf Parade album, but it's no classic to my ears. The production sounds pretty weak too. This one's just not for me. I'll give it that it's better than We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revisiting indie, or whatever you wanna call it, bands that I missed years ago have a hard time registering for me now later in life. Wolf parade was a band that was huge for me back in the day, and remains to have a very sweet spot in my heart. And I was a big Hot Hot Heat fan so when I heard Dante Decaro was in a new band I was like oh helloooo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if you are saying this because you know that the album was produced by Isaac Brock - so I can't imagine that they're pretending to not be very Modest Mouse-esque. I always liked the squelchy keyboard sound of their early stuff - it was buried more in their later albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that can be true for any genre, sometimes you need the cultural context to truly appreciate something. But I heard Wolf Parade back in 2005, just not the whole album.

At least I don't remember ever learning that factoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
