TheComebackKid Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Ordered from Amazon.ca. There was 2 listings so I ordered the cheapest. Now it doesn't even show Amazon as a seller on the listing I ordered from and the other one says out of stock. Grrrr... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else think he kinda sounds like Marcus Mumford on a couple of the later tracks? Absolutely. Had the same thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Ordered smoke but also got black :-/ After seeing that it's a stupid marble I think I might part with mine if I get it sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smarkville Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I also received black variant when I ordered Smoke the night preorders went up. I called the # listed in my confirmation email 877-687-4277. I spoke to a nice representative named Star. She assured me that she'd send the proper variant immediately via UPS Ground and that i'd have it by the middle of next week. Also emailed me a prepaid return label to send the black variant back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really hoping smoke meant clear with heavy black whisps (which it usually does), like: Smoke ≠ gray marble. Ugh. snacks4all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, Thrice has become masters at the album closer over the last few records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tape Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I really like how the record looks but it is definitely not clear in the least, which is what they advertised it as. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Anyone looking to unload their smoke variant? I'm liking it too much :X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacooper Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 The acoustic show at fingerprints was amazing. My audio recording here : https://www.dropbox.com/s/nnrbnzfa11p0ie0/Thrice%20Live%20at%20Fingerprints.m4a?dl=0 also, confirmed with the sound guy it was recorded. Hoping the band likes it so they press it on vinyl or release it digitally. Acoustic honestly made these songs come alive. Setlist: Black Honey, Blood on the Sand, Death from Above, Stay With Me, The Long Defeat and then Dustin played Hurricane on his own. batman, pushbacktosquare, avery and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacooper Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 And if anyone wants to repay me for the audio and info by trading me their smoke variant we'll be best friends. pushbacktosquare 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayCauseDeath Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) the people asking if people want to get rid of their smoke variant need to read the thread lol. There are a bunch of people that ordered smoke but are getting black. Some of them aren't even getting them to be able to give them away.

himynameisdk Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Picked up a copy from my local record store last night and although I haven't spun it yet the lyric book alone is amazing. I kinda wish it was a gatefold though. Duff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swisherprice Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Another smoke variant that showed up black here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckthriceck Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 So is there any info as to why? Did they oversell or just straight up send people who preordered black ones the smoke ones? Or smaller print run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Gave this two listens yesterday and I only liked two songs (three if you count the 1 minute one). They just aren't playing the music I want them to play anymore. I'm not surprised by it at all and I have no problem with the continuing progression of their sound, even if it isn't in a direction I like. This leans way too heavy into the hard rock arena for my taste. A friend described it as 'dad rock for millennials', which I find pretty spot on. Going to keep listening to it and see if any other songs get my attention, but overall I'm real glad I didn't end up buying this. batman and snacks4all 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsheaz28 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I as well ordered the smoke variant and received a black copy. I have never received a vinyl color differently than what I ordered. Does anyone know how they will handle this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are my 2 least favorite songs on the album. This whole release has been really interesting. Opinions on favorite and least favorite songs have been seriously all over the place. My least liked song used to be Wake Up. Still not a favorite, but it has grown on me. I'm interested to see what people think a few months from now.
