Buffbloom Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I just saw this on Discogs and it makes me want to die. This many variants of one pressing is ridiculous. I nearly bought the 6 bundle when it went up but I thought that even 6 was excessive... 100 - Redish and Black w/ Heavy Gold Splatter 300 - Cyan, Black, Baby Blue Tri-Color 300 - Mint Green Splatter (Rock Sound exclusive) 500 - Black & Blood Red 700 - Cyan & Black w/ White Splatter 800 - Half Orange / Half Red w/ Mustard Splatter 1000 - Orange, Red, Black Tri-Color 1000 - Black in Yellow w/ Mustard Splatter 1000 - Red, Yellow, Green Tri-Color "Rasta" 1000 - Half Purple / Half White w/ Black Splatter (UK indie exclusive) 1000 - Orange, Red, Black Tri-Color (Livestream exclusive) 1000 - Black 1500 - Black & Yellow Galaxy (FYE exclusive) 1500 - Picture Disc 2000 - Green (Merch Limited exclusive) 2500 - Clear w/ Blue Splatter (Urban Outfitters exclusive) ??? - Red & Orange Swirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear this, but it's a bit like exploiting your fans. They could easily add a zero to any one of these pressing and it would take care of a huge problem and cost them less to produce. Also the fact that this went up for pre-order in February, that started out with at least a 6 variant bundle, I believe they had these variants all lined up before they even knew they weren't going to be able to tour. This is Dance Gavin Dance... They made a pot grinder at one point (if anyone has one, I'll buy it!). They market and monetize anything and everything. They have a phenomenal business/marketing plan. But 17 variants of a first pressing is over-doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only issue I had (and it's a big one that I talked to the label about and called them out on) is that they locked in at least 4 variants in expensive bundles with no other way to acquire them. Thankfully it backfired on them after the /100 and /300 sold out because people didn't want 5 or 6 variants of the same album and the bundle wasn't selling. Trash practice on their part but nothing will stop Rise with how pathetic their roster has become in the last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethereal Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 just stopping by to make my annual post that I really wish this band and fanbase didnt exist; their record label was actively encouraging fans to go to any store they can (in a global pandemic) to buy extra copies of their album... just so they could get the social media coverage of picture receipts and RT to flood feeds. Looking at you Rise, give up on your cash cow and promote the bands that actually deserve it. (or maybe even do something that reflects the times??)

V3XED Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) Maybe a hot take over here..... They are a business, and a band trying (and I am sure succeeding) to make a living from writing and making music. Selling physical media is hard, selling digital music is even harder now with streaming, which pays bands very little. And now, after everything else, they cant even really sell tickets or get the hype from live shows and touring. Why are people mad about them creating products people want to buy? Yes, they could have had 3 variants with 10,000 copies each or whatever, but that would sell less because its less desirable. Likewise, they are TRYING to sell records! Of course they are going to go tell fans to buy a bunch of copies, whats wrong with that? And if your willing to go run to a store during a pandemic, well, I wouldn't do it but that's your choice I guess. At the end of the day, with anything in life, you just need to decide if you really need something, and if its worth your money. People that are addicted to variant collecting have to grapple with that themselves, its not the bands fault! IDK seems like a very silly thing to complain about. BUT, the bundle thing is total BS and, as a informed consumer I avoid them. And, like N8TRU was saying above... it looks like most other people did as well this time around. /rant Edited July 16, 2020 by V3XED N8TRU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCDELTAT Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 On the other hand, don't know if you saw, but anyone who bought a ticket to the livestream will be getting a $10 coupon to a merchstore that will be popping up soon. Hopefully some vinyl in there, if not, I do need a new DGD shirt. Only one I have is from the boxset days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Waited all this time to listen to the album because I wanted my first listen to be on vinyl and wow. First impression is this may be my favorite Tillian-era album. So much good stuff going on in this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
