I really like the music but don't want to listen...it's a weird space to be in. Everyone seems super hype about this release so I feel like I should buy it. Also, I TOTALLY like the music, I swear. But, I'm just not gonna listen to it probably. And I totally know how that sounds, but it's not like that. I really love Marzball and I'm not just buying this for the packaging or the hype.

HoneyFrosted Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) I did manage a bundle while at work in between business. I figured it would be a window of a minute or so and I’ve gotten kinda good at having my finger on the button. 71 shipped is a little ridiculous all things considered but usually these things show up absolutely beautiful and I forget all about that. I’m a sucker. Edited May 11, 2018 by HoneyFrosted i cant spel cantdance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Rant District Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Many thanks to the OP @mellowtooth for starting this thread - I was able to snag a copy. I usually default to trying to get an album the way it was originally released, but that's a hard to find CD. Glad to have a physical copy on the way now!

I'm just ragging on you, but, I do find the concept of buying an auditory art piece despite disliking the audio that comprises the art piece as fairly contradictory.

Conversely, have any of you refused to buy an album you like, because the art was bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided I'd wait until there was one left and try to buy it; if it went through I'd have one, if someone beat me to it then oh well. I ended up getting it, and I figure if I really end up hurting for money or regretting it later I can pass it on at cost to someone who missed out.

Understood, I didn't think you were being mean or anything. I like the music but find it hard to listen to is the best way to put it. More closely a photograph that is beautiful with disturbing subject matter, or something similar in nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtherVagOption Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 (edited) I was close to buying one... Then I saw the price . Oh and for some perspective (I usually never defend people who are lured by hype or cover/variant a e s t h e t i c s alone), but I only ever HEARD of Merzbow when some college radio jocks I hung out with at the time were talking about the recently-released Merzbox (look it up on Discogs). So, I guess my long history with noise music (collecting almost exclusively experimental music from like 2003-2010) stems from first encountering non-music/noise/sound art through OTT packaging and the hypebeasts it generated. TL;DR: Sometimes u gotta make some noise to move units on the Sgt. Pepper's of power electronics Edited May 12, 2018 by armadillo01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
