TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) Got mine today, listening now. So far it's definitely good, but not my favorite from them. Feels like it lacks some of the punch from earlier albums. Again, still good, but something feels lacking. Edit: they've won me back now. The urgency and raw power of some of the other albums isn't there, but there is some really deliberately gentle/subtle stuff that just destroys.

Just Us Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Seriously, I'm willing to pay the double of the initial price if someone thinks about selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know exactly what you mean though I felt very similar, but as a goodbye it feels fantastic. I just put Blue on when I miss that feel from them now and it will always work.

You won't get a deal that good lol. I said earlier in the thread this would instantly cost triple digits when it sold out and I think I may be right. The first copy that shows up on Ebay will set the bar though so I'd wait a week or two for that. holyvacantsholyhell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethereal Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 If the handpoured versions of past releases never reached those amounts, neither will this. people can ask however much they want but this shit ain’t selling for “triple digits” despite your gatekeeping holyvacantsholyhell and kisol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine prices will eventually drop within a couple of months. People will just have to be willing to wait it out. holyvacantsholyhell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol one figures you'd understand the hobby by now. Rare variants of a record that is readily available does not compare to a record that isn't available at all. It's not rocket science. holyvacantsholyhell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When has Whirr ever pressed 1 variant? But by all means throw money at it and be dumb.

Of course if a record label burns through a pressing and the demand for more exists then they are going to monetize that opportunity. The band themselves are trolls and currently probably love that people are whining about missing out. YouLoveHisWife 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrodan Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Someone trade me their numbered copy with postcard. You still get the album on vinyl plus some cash or other records. Clearly you’re less of an idiot than I am and don’t need a number and postcard to feel complete (I am that idiot), so make this happen.

zdkaiser Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) Received my copy of the Whirr album today. Lots of scratches all over and surface noise. Emailed them on their website. Edit: Nick already responded. Gonna help me out. Edited November 12, 2019 by zdkaiser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
