Derek™ Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Wish they had swapped their songwriting and pricing. Mid pricing for insane material could’ve gotten me to roll the dice here. The poster in that $75 version is goofy as hell too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantheriver Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Based on the last few releases you gotta assume there will be indie and/or retail variant for $10 less Justinadamk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaulManella Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Yeah seeing those price tags immediately killed my excitement. Beyond fucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanellos Posted August 4, 2023 Author Share Posted August 4, 2023 Yea typical Deftones/Warner pricing is a bummer. Songs a banger though. That bass synth is filthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justinadamk Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) but gang! What about this sick record carrying case that doesn't come with any records and isn't even made with real leather! Totally worth $150! 🤑🤣 Edited August 4, 2023 by Justinadamk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayCauseDeath Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 50 and 75 is insane. I refuse to buy at that price, I did like the song though. I was going to buy until I saw the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathbyart Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 I LOVE Crosses but $65 shipped.. These prices have me wondering if I should even stick with the hobby. Good Christ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingnatural Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Fuck these prices. I'm about done buying records due to nonsensical pricing (coming from a huge Melvins fan btw). At least I know the band so perhaps I can get a free one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnMatrix Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 $40 isnt bad for a 2xLP. Probably pick up that indie variant at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnMatrix Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 In today's economic climate $40 is pretty standard for a 2xLP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trimm_Trabb Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Two years ago a 2xLP was like $25 before shipping. Shits almost doubled! N8TRU and Kanellos 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnMatrix Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) I think a 2xLP that cheap is more rare than the norm these days especially with these bigger labels. Indie labels don't gouge as much so you'll see them cheaper. I mean I have been seeing bigger artists selling single LPs for almost $40 now I mean just quickly going through a record stores list of 2xLPs in stock they're more closer to $40 than $22 Edited August 4, 2023 by JohnMatrix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 I guess that's why it's important to draw a line in the sand and vote with your wallet. Because that shit's a slippery slope. We can balk at Chino and the gang asking $75 + shipping for a double LP with a folded poster, and assume it's just an outrageous exception that surely wouldn't become the norm. But inevitably, a few more artists and labels will get inspired to follow suit. And before you know it, 2024 rolls around and it's "welllll it's not $90 for a double LP, so $50 is much more reasonable. Seems normal for today's economic climate." The technology behind a vinyl record and how it's played isn't improving. The packaging nor presentation are being reinvented to justify these prices. And press quality is more hit-and-miss than ever, especially as pressing plants continue to scramble to meet demand. There should be no real reason that prices are inflating this bad. Straight up. It's greed, and too many people are game to comply in an effort to prove their fandom or avoid missing out [😨] and paying resale prices. Labels know this. I imagine that in the history of vinyl production, profit margins have never been fatter than they are right now, for any artists getting away with $40-70+ for a single LP / double LP. I just think it's a dangerous game to play. At what point do we call it? When a double LP is $50 on average? $60? $70? throwgncpr, SaulManella, N8TRU and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMatrix Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Oh I am definitely in agreement with that it should NOT be $40 for a 2XLP. I was just saying going by today's pricing $40 is about what most larger labels are going to charge you. I wouldn't go too much higher than $40 personally either and if it starts getting to where $50-$60 becomes the norm I will surely tap out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N8TRU Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) The COVID hobby idiots are ruining it for everyone. In the new vinyl releases group a bunch of clique morons keep saying a $30 12" with 18 minutes of music is totally fine. Then they double down and say "oh aftermarket is $50 so this is good." Meanwhile someone replied with the new Pure Noise EPs on a 12" for $18 and we're sitting there like, you wanna keep making this point??? And they do. $30 single LPs are so exhausting and sadly becoming the norm and pushing me out. I'd much rather have money for anything else than a fucking $30 LP or a $40 2xLP. Edit: sorry if this was unhinged or random it's just been annoying me a lot the past day. Edited August 4, 2023 by N8TRU Derek™ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather spend more than twice that amount to insure I get a small folded poster that'll stay in the sleeve forever and an additional insert that will also stay in the sleeve forever. I bet they didn't even stamp the insert with gold foil! Justinadamk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
