Damn international shipping costs. 12$ for shipping is not so bad at all honestly. Sige might have the most reasonable shipping prices. Came to 30€ shipped which is pretty much what any double LP would cost in retail over here. I had to grab the grey because it just looked so much better. Although I also got the clear through Thrill Jockey UK I'll be selling that then. Spreading that Sumac love around these parts.

fizio59 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I could not resist to order my 3rd copy of this after seeing that grey. I didn't expect to see it at 4 left so soon. Probably the band is reserving copies to sell at their upcoming gigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got stung with a 17 quid import fee when I bought The Deal, so hopefully that doesn't happen again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasma36 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Finally listened to this album and it's much better than I was expecting because "Rigid Man" was the first song to be released and that's probably the weakest song on the album. Hard to say if I'll be able to pick a favorite of the two albums since I feel they're pretty different in concept; WOB feels more like a post-rock/metal album with its long builds to peaks that are absolutely mind-blowing. Like, can we talk about how beautiful the last third of "Blackout" is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bortx Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 So what's "THE DEAL" with these two? Are they the same variant? They look completely different but both are said to be Grey band exclusive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 They do look wildly different. I'm not a fan of the darker of the two, at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bortx Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Same here. It wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't because I am a big fan of the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindovermatter Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Grabbed a copy at the show last night since my clear hasn't arrived yet. Brian thought he gave me a gray, but I have a black copy. Now the gray is sold out through Sige. D'oh! I hope they put some tour leftovers up once they return home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Grey vinyl is the ugliest shit on Earth. Honestly, I can't believe people look at it and feel compelled to own it based on the look. plasma36 and bortx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I contacted TJ to make some clearness on this point and this is their reply: "The marbled / splatter version is the variant the band have on tour. The opaque grey, was just a "mock up" made ahead of the release - so the marbled one is the only Grey version" bortx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad Heart Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 This thing is like a piece of ice. I don't think I've ever seen such a clear record before. Spinning it now, and it sounds great. Had it at the wrong RPM at first and was like "whaaaa". zerohacker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
