kjkenney Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Awesome! I heart Feist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Metals is so good, and easily my favorite output from her. Eager to hear where she goes next. I take it there's no colored variants or anything limited? I was scouting the options over the last few days, waiting to relay some juicy pre-order information to the boards... but it looks like it's just a standard black press across the board. And not to nitpick about the pricing, but does $29 (pre-shipping) seem kind of extravagant or is it just me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get where you're coming from... but by similar logic, artists like The Avalanches or At The Drive-In could theoretically be charging $60 for their albums that break 10+ year hiatuses.

Oh, totally. I just think it makes some sort of sense. Feist has broad appeal and people have been wanting new music from her for years. Maybe more is included and it just isn't listed... or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneThreeOneTwo Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 It's her first double LP, hence the price. Occam's Razor, folks. It's an 800-year old classic for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has this *ever*been done? This is nuts! It's like the Metal Box for audiophiles. I'm not in the market for one but I'll repost this in the gear thread to see if those headphones are as good as the ad copy claims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feist has broad appeal and people have been wanting new music from her for years. Maybe more is included and it just isn't listed... or something. Yeah, I'm really hoping that there are some details being withheld, like a fancy gatefold or maybe an included oversized booklet that documents some songwriting and what she's been up to for the last 6 years. Bull Moose has it priced at $28 and change, too, and they're usually the bottom-of-the-barrel for pricing, and come through with the biggest savings. I know it's only a few bucks over the "norm" for a double LP these days ($23.99, $24.99) but it's just another little nudge towards the new standard of $30 records, pre shipping. 7 hours ago, armadillo01 said: It's her first double LP, hence the price.

I don't want to get in an argument in the thread, but I'm not sure I follow the line of reasoning here. I fully expect the MSRP to outweigh her prior albums, which were all single LPs, but I don't think there's a universal price spike for specific albums that pop an artist's double-LP cherry... is there? Have I just been oblivious this whole time? 7 hours ago, the industry said: sound stage direct has the regular version for $25 and you can get 20% off that with coupon code That SSD link is a gem with the coupon and savings.

They're not. Okay, that's probably unfair to assume. But considering the price point – and as someone who did some homework on headphones fairly recently – I can tell you that you can get some very respectable entry-level cans for far less than those are marked up. Just considering what the bundle is priced at and how much of your money is going towards the novelty of it, I'd only suggest them to a diehard Feist collector before anyone who's in the market for new headphones and also happens to be a Feist fan. I imagine they'll sound better than Beats By Dre. and Apple ear buds, but I can't see them being audiophile-ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure those PO prices will go down closer to release date. 8 minutes ago, Derek™ said: Reveal hidden contents They're not. Okay, that's probably unfair to assume.

I'm pretty sure those PO prices will go down closer to release date. How would they fare compared to Grado 60s? Sorry, I was comparing the $29 tag to other pre-orders for double LPs, across the board. The way I read your first post, I was under the impression you were sympathizing with the MSRP because it was her first 2xLP – as if artists are given one green light to charge whatever they see fit, the first time they break their mold and release an album long enough to be pressed onto two pieces of wax in a gatefold. I'm not griping about the $29 price being steeper than her prior albums – single LPs – sold at $17, or $20, or whatever. I was grumbling because there's nothing that'd suggest the packaging is any more elaborate or costly than recently produced, beautiful gatefolds that sell for $20. Having never used Grados myself, but reading a fair bit... I can tell you right off the bat that the Feistphones are probably more comfortable, haha. The headphones offered in the bundle appear to be closed, so you're getting a whole different sound signature and experience than those open-back Grados. If it were me, personally, and I was after an open-air / open-back set of cans... those Grados would get the job done, and I'd probably opt to buy those, the standard LP – maybe from Soundstage if it's around $20 after the coupon – and then pocket the difference. I'm not sure what the shipping is on top of that $200 bundle but I bet it can't be cheap. I will say that the wood finish on those Fiest cans are nice, though. I've never owned a pair of "wood" headphones but I always thought they looked pretty classy.

OneThreeOneTwo Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Thanks! They might have to be indoor headphones since that wood finish is liable to get dinged a fair bit outside. The Feist store editions are maybe a Canadian pressing? Maybe she's self-funded this run to maximize profit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parnell17 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Biggest Online Vinyl Retailer in Switzerland has to different Versions of "Pleasure" up for Pre-Order: - Pleasure - Limited Edition (2LP) - Pleasure (2LP) https://www.cede.ch/de/music/?view=detail&branch_sub=0&id=1403350&branch=1 Wonder what the difference might be?

ryantark Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Only listened once while driving. To me, its art first, music second. You can tell she didn't want anything like "1234", this album is for her. Vocals a bit buried. Super strong singing/harmonies, as you'd expect. I liked the album more as it progressed. Man/song and Not Running are my most memorable. It deserves more of my time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
