thomasj182 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I don't really care too much for variants but I'm almost 100% sure that they'll email me back saying there's nothing they can do. Hopefully this doesn't happen to anyone else. I'll let everyone know what they say if they even get back to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasj182 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Overall the packaging is really nice, the lyric book is full sized 11x11 and bound together by string. The jacket a bit heaver than a normal single jacket and the record sleeve is standard black. Vinyl itself is 176 grams (I have a food scale at work) not that it matters but I checked for shits and giggles and comes with a download card.

TheMightyQuinn Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 "Smoke" is totally grey marble... Unless my eyes are deceiving me on Instagram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayCauseDeath Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 (edited) I feel the heaviness behind this album, yeah it's not literal heaviness with screaming but it's definitely heavy to my ears. I enjoy this better than their last two and probably better than most of Alchemy. However, just to break the mold, I would have loved one really heavy heavy song to close it out.

Fuzz Pig Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Loving this so far. I haven't listened closely to the lyrics yet, but I'm digging the overall sound and production. The guitar tones are maybe the best of any Thrice album. The packaging is really nice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRHews Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 (edited) Got mine today, and like the other person, ordered the smoke variant and got black. Emailed them to try and get this sorted.

CardboardDoom Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Got another unhappy camper here. Ordered smoke almost immediately after it went live and got a black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayCauseDeath Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 fuckk... did anyone who ordered the color actually get the colored version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckthriceck Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 got mine in. Smoke. Looks great, but sorry to all those who got screwed.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasj182 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 This sucks! What a pain in the ass this is going to be! Plus with the long weekend no resolutions until at least mid next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Giving this a first listen now. Sounds like the Thrice I know and love. The book is a nice touch. When they said smoke I was expecting a clear with Whisps instead of Grey marble, but whatever. Interesting how the same color can be called different things. Sorry to all of those who got the wrong variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juturna90 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 ^ did you just order the vinyl or a bundle man? Mine won't be here until next week. But the sound of this album is huge. Hurricane and wake up are my favorites right now. Salt and shadow is insanely good too. Really excited to see them next week in LA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuck Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Hurricane is so fuckin' good. Just thought I'd share that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throughbeingcruel Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 On first listen, I like it. And I see it getting better with further listens. Anyone else think he kinda sounds like Marcus Mumford on a couple of the later tracks? untiliwakeup 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost through the first spin now. This is the Thrice I know, and love. I can see this growing on me even more as it evolves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattisr1984 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Shipping records via fedEx smartpost makes no sense - but it's even worse that they can't even get the color people ordered right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadformat401 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 record is solid as a rock though after first listen. Don't get the hate with stay with me, blood on the sand is the weakest in my opinion. Instrumental is short but I'm pretty sure Riley did everything on it so that's cool. Would put it below beggars, above major/minor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not super annoyed, I guess, but I'd have just gone with Amazon and saved a few bucks otherwise. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
