MayCauseDeath Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 The box set is only 5$ more than individually buying them, DTGL is $30 and not 25 like the other two. Also DTGL is a 2 LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 More power to everyone who is thrilled about the box and buying it without hesitation, but I guess (for the lack of any real “savings” when purchased in a bundle), I was anticipating a bit more than a box / shell to house 3 LPs. Is that slipmat not included? How about some liner notes from the band members? An exclusive variant? An art print or 3? Not always, but boxsets usually throw in something when their cost exceeds buying each item individually. I’m all for springing for deluxe editions and extra shit like prints, booklets, bonus demos, etc. But from what I can tell there is none of that going on here.

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, justin_cole12 said: I mentioned that the bands manager reached out to me via email to ask some questions about the accidental early release of these through Facebook. He then proceeded to contact me through Instagram to give more context. Idk how much more valid of answers you are wanting but this is all coming directly from their manager. Here is the full conversation I've had with him. Seems they are probably lurking this thread too because he is trying to correct some misinformation. I mean...I believe you. I guess I was just pointing out that I could easily also say, "yeah, the lead singer reached out to me through the store email and told me these are actually going to be made out of salami." I appreciate you helping out and posting. Just seems weird that they randomly chose someone who ordered to be the "conduit" to get the correct info out to people. What if you'd have just not said anything to anyone? The whole release has been weird and nonsensical.

V3XED Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) The site finally just got announced on Underoath's social media. Will be interesting to see if anything sells out during the course of the week, or if this pressing is truly massive (as I suspect). Also, while the 'translucent black' debacle from their last album doesn't give me hope.... Here is a reminder of how nice that type of variant can turn out.

No This Is Patrick Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Caved and got a boxset... I can hopefully sell my Rebirth tour variant to offset the cost a bit. Plus I'll have that other copy of LITSOS now! I'm really interested in that full tour comment. Playing all three of these in full? That would've been sick!

While I picked up the boxset posthaste and am fine with $5 for a cool box, I would love to find out that the disappearing slipmat made its way into the set (definitely not counting on it though). At least the box has exclusive artwork. drawcody 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajborneman Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Since it says original recording and packaging, I'm really hoping TOCS will have "I Got Ten Friends And A Crowbar That Says You Ain't Gonna Do Jack" as the final track. My collectors edition copy is nice, but does not have this song like the original pressing did. drawcody 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizza face Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) Hoping to sell my tour set and just grab DTGL because I already have a blue TOCS. Edited July 7, 2020 by pizza face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamover Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 judging by the promo images, i'm guessing "original recording + packaging" means the original CD art/track listing, not the original vinyl art/track listing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitewalls87 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Can we have the manager answer how many of these are actually being pressed or is this an infinite amount of boxsets that'll print forever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s limited to 400 so you should buy a couple of them and put a preorder on eBay for like $210. Easy money really.

xfactor675 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) I have an original TOCS press, which I still think their best record, wanted to buy Define, but this whole pay for a live stream concept is putting me off. I mean yeah they can't tour, don't have an income, but in these times at least donate some % of it... they are gonna make a fortune out of this whole observatory thing.

I would love for these guys to make "a fortune" off of their hard work past and present. As someone in the currently-crippled entertainment industry, I'm happy for anyone managing to make a living right now.

You don’t have to purchase a ticket. You can just buy the vinyl. I highly doubt they’ll make a fortune off this. There’s 6 members in the band, plus the crew. They don’t all live in the same area. Some have to travel. Do you know how difficult it is to produce a good-sounding live stream? I never thought I’d be on the internet in 2020 defending Underoath. But here I am. Quality live-streams are ridiculously difficult to pull off. I’m skeptical myself. But artists need to be creative to create new revenue streams right now. I’m sure they’d rather tour if they could. drawcody 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone in an fb group added 999999 to his cart and made it to the checkout screen, so i dunno about the 400 limit.

Limited to 666 by the way. Confirmed from the band manager’s uncle who texted me.
