Plarocks Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 2 hours ago, illkeepyouinmind said: I finally got around to really listening to this album and I dig it. I'm kind of bummed I missed out on all those pre-orders yesterday. Might just pick up the indie exclusive clear variant closer to the vinyl release date. I really like that gold and clay color, maybe we'll see some cancellations since the vinyl release date is months out. I, myself, also would have been happy with just the clear vinyl pre-order. But, I was just lucky and found out about the blue signed copies like an hour after they went on sale. For LESS than the VMP copy I originally ordered, I thought the price was more than fair. Might not hurt to check back once in a while. Maybe more often closer to release day. mychemicalrecords 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRHews Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 So it's been a while, but I've been listening to this non-stop and am loving it so much. Definitely clicking more for me than Crack Up which I still enjoyed. Can elaborate further another time but this is honestly really great. Such a lively record, a ton of innovation and progression in sound and quite a bit more experimental than I was expecting.

Derek™ Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 It certainly feels like their least experimental record – and by far their most accessible – but those aren't critiques. I've played the shit out of this thing, too, and am very pleased with it. It's a whole different animal than any of their other records and I think it earns extra points there, since I've played their backlog into the ground over the years. Apparently we're getting a new record in 2021, too, so that's extra promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRHews Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 I found more appreciation for the experimental aspects seeing Robin's Instagram stories this past week; people asking questions about certain passages and moments from the album, he explained how he did some of those, and man he thought a lot about this through a more electronic production level than I imagined.

Derek™ Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 That's pretty cool, because "electronic" is nowhere near the front of my mind when I think about this album and its general vibe. Robin is a treasure and I hope I leave this life before he stops making music in some capacity or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stl_ben Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Not just VMP, this is what the band sent out for their copies: "Hello, Thank you for your recent purchase from the Fleet Foxes Online Store. The physical release of Fleet Foxes’ ‘Shore’ has been delayed to March 19th. Due to a COVID-19 outbreak at the printing plant in LA, a significant portion of the vinyl and CD production has temporarily halted. We are working closely with them and all partners to get ‘Shore’ to your doorstep as quickly as we can. We hope for a quick recovery for all and thank you for your patience. Looking towards March, we invite you to join Fleet Foxes’ Robin Pecknold for a mini solo set to commemorate the physical release of ‘Shore.’ The performance will stream via NoonChorus on Wednesday, March 24th at 6pm PT / 9pm ET.

timsimmons Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Staughton had a COVID outbreak a few weeks back and shut down for the second half of Jan and the first half of Feb. sounds like this is because of them. Shelby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If VMP was to return them because of that label issue, do you think the manufacturer would just trash the discs or would they try to pull the bad labels and reapply correct ones?

They have to trash them there's no fixing labels. That's if that's even the reason it's delayed though. Seems likely Or covid it seems ha Edited February 9, 2021 by Shelby American Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

januarytwenty Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I got one of the misprinted labels from KRM EU in ocean blue with signed print. Not really too bummed about it. thesewoodenideas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plarocks Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Couldn’t you just put some stickers over the wrong labels with the correct information? I know the first pressing of The Eagles “Long Road Out of Eden” is plagued with the wrong labels on the wrong sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xthricex Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Should I hold out for Amazon to ever ship this to me or try to find the record store version locally even though most seem sold out? Dammit Amazon! Lesson learned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
