One thing that hasn't been discussed, at least not that I've seen, is the sound quality of the record. Those of you that have spun it already: how does it stack up to the sound quality of their previous releases (i.e. the most recent repress of Vheissu, and the 180g The Illusion of Safety, for example)? My black copy sounded fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may not know the answer to this. I'd probably be in the first 20-30 orders range with my order, so I'm still a bit worried. I expect my copy to arrive today. I'm assuming 20-30 ordered, I placed my order at 11:13pm est literally a minute or two after thrice posted it to their facebook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin360 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 My receipt is for 11:29 PM on Mrch 25th. I'd definitely be in the first batch. Good of to hear it may be first shipped out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they pinpointed exactly which orders went out with the wrong color I'm sure it wouldn't be too tough to make whatever variant you receive free... if you're into that kind of thing.

Juturna90 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Just got mine in and got the smoke I had ordered. I must have ordered within the first 30 minutes as well. Really sucks about the mixup to everyone it happened to and hope it gets sorted out accordingly. On a side note, the quality of this really is as top notch as everyone has been saying. Really digging the string bound photobook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Delonge's UFO Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Selling my black copy if anyone's interested - sealed - $20 plus shipping. Just want to recoup cost. I've listened to the album a bunch and I'm just not feeling it as a whole. PM me if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himynameisdk Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) Thrice posted a picture of the tour press on Facebook. It's a beauty. Edited June 1, 2016 by himynameisdk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrewest Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) I think that tour press is uglier than the "smoke marble whatever the hell". I think after all this craziness I'm just sticking with my black. Maybe I'll call and see if I get it for free as mentioned before.

The Vool Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 ANYBODY IN THE US WILLING TO PICK UP A TOUR COPY FOR ME? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasj182 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Since the "smoke" and 180g is now sold out I wonder if they'll continue to keep this in press just different variants. They're basically printing money with every press/repress they do so it doesn't make sense for them to only press 3,000 or whatever the press for TBEITBN numbers are. I think they should do a pink marble variant it would look fantastic with the art work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youreyeah Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Anyone that could pick one up for me, I'll tip ya! I live in the middle of nowhere and no tour is ever near me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtobi-wanx Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Got a shipping notification to Germany pretty late in the game. So I'm hoping for the smoke variant ordered. Returning anything to the US is a major pain in the ass, but I see no reason to pay for the regular variant to be shipped from the States, when it's also available over here...
