Clear pre-order up on SCR

Nice! Hoping SCR's stock is more accurate than FatBeats. If neither order is canceled I'll sell my copy to the board at cost.

Or maybe I'll just cancel both copies myself because this show is for hipster moms.

Anywhere to order the clear/black smoke one still? That's way better than clear. If not I'll just wait for the HT one.

A bit pricey with shipping: http://www.ziarecords.com/p/6224352/stranger-things-soundtrack-vol-1-clear-with-black-smoke-colored-vinyl-indie-exclusive

(Clear/500 is also listed, but not available for purchase)

Since they removed down voting I know feel safe to say this. This show was absolutely fucking horrible, the music was good but the writing and pace was atrocious. They expect us to care about a character that is in it for 5 minutes and then disappears? There was no emotion in why I should care for a character I saw for all of 5 minutes. I feel like every scene or indie person ate this up because it was hip. ill see you all at the guillotine later. 

So you're only brave enough to share you opinion when you can't be downvoted? Go back to tumblr.

Must have only had one copy (if someone from here grabbed it).

Wondering how limited the smoke is - I have the perception that "Indie exclusive" releases are usually 1000+ but who knows.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but what the fuck. You're like that one dude on earth who didn't enjoy Uncharted 4. You're the first person I've seen that didn't enjoy this show. It doesn't have anything to do with 'hip', 'scene' (what?) or indie, or anything else like that (I'm not even going to touch on that - cause that was just stupid, dude)*. The show had fantastic writing, original plot, was a nod to so many great shows / movies of our childhood, had a fantastic score (god damn did it enrich what was going on, and help drive the story so fucking well, along with being such 80s goodness), amazing DP (director of photography) - seriously, that show had some absolutely beautiful shots, and the acting was great - not even considering most of the actors were children. I don't think we really needed to get super invested into the kid that was kidnapped by knowing him personally. We all got invested cause we were kids, we had our childhood friends. We related and rallied for them to find their buddy cause he was like our buddy. We were part of the gang watching the show. It's awesome how connected we were so early on with barely any backstory, and I think that's really cool. For me I'm glad we didn't get hit with all this trivial backstory about him, and just managed to get sucked right in. Honestly I didn't think about the kid personally, but more so 'we gotta find him!' through out the show, along with 'when are we gonna find out about the monster', and 'damn, Winona looks great even as the run down 80s mom'. The show was just so compelling, plot driven, and dynamic. It's unique, and that's what media is lacking these days. I honestly don't see how anyone could not be into this show.

 

* I lied, I will touch on that. This show didn't have a specific target demographic of hipsters, and indie kids. Especially not scene kids. Scene kids? What the fuck. Is that even a logical demographic? What year is this. This isn't a fucking Hot Topic produced A Day To Remember doc. from 2008. This was a throwback / tribute to sci fi, supernatural fiction, horror, and drama classics. This show resurrected the 80s (a decade that most indie kids / hipsters / scene kids barely even lived during, if at all). This show was Dungoens & Dragons, Alien, Hardy Boys, The Dark Crystal, John Carpenter, eggos, E.T., ham radios, awful 80s clothes, Winona Ryder, Steven Speilberg, Stephen King, The Thing, Star Wars, all 80s cop movies, Close Encounters, Stand By Me, Poltergeist, The Goonies, David Cronenberg, and even some earlier stuff like Under The Skin. Dismissing this show is pretty much like dismissing an entire decade. This show is so widely diverse that its demographic is people with a pulse who like tv. My dad is almost 70 and he loved it (and he wasn't really into the sci fi stuff of the 80s). This show doesn't have any prerequisites other than not being a closed-minded asshole (no offense). I just don't see how anyone couldn't like this show, I really don't. I very much look forward to season 2.

 

I really hope you sit down and give this show another shot, man. You're missing out on something really great. It sounds like you barely gave it a chance, and I hope you give it another. And that's coming from someone who has no interest in buying the score on vinyl, but I still give this show 5/5 eggos.

Amen man. 

 

@MayCauseDeath Pretty sure VC is for connecting with those of us who have common interests and want to connect with others who feel the similarly about those interests. It's not for ppl to board jump finding bands, albums, genre's, TV shows, movies, etc., that they DONT like, just to hop on and voice they're obviously negative opinion about. Yes you're entitled to said opinion, but this specific thread is obviously not the place for it. If you wanna say you don't dig the score, fine, so be it. But if you wanna trash the show, go start a "I HATE STRANGER THINGS" thread in the 'Everything Else' boards.

Pre-orders also up at Independent...

Clear 

Clear w/ black smoke

Out. This shit is getting annoying. I keep missing it. I'm hoping the floodgates open soon and I'm able to just snag one of the the variants that I want. I don't wanna end up in another Radiohead situation where I order from different places thinking some will get cancelled and I end up with more copies than I wanted. Patience will hopefully lead me to VICTORY!

Keep trying.  Both seem to be going in and out.

For real, I could go into every Fallout Boy and Panic at the Disco or Sepultra or what the fuck ever thread and trash it or say I don't get it. But I don't, because I'm an adult. Seriously @MayCauseDeath, go stick a toothpick under you toenail and kick a wall.

That's like saying Vacation was an awful movie because the intro didn't sell us hard enough on Wally World so we had no vested interest in actually seeing the Griswolds get there. I'm pretty sure you missed the entire point of the show.

can everyone just shut the fuck up? no one cares if you like it or not. everyone just wants to get the boxset announcement with limited interruption. 

I would downvote you so hard if I thought it would hurt your feelings.

But yeah, thats the info I'm looking for.
