Fowty Dollaz Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) Also, some of you lazy sumunabeetches need to get on adding it to Discogs. I'm trying to check it out and nada. It has now been added. There are so many sides. My god, I don't know where I am going to store this thing.

Talked myself out of it the first time around due to owning all of the separates apart from Bedlam, but then reading the interview with Omar and seeing it had all been remastered (which I didn’t feel was initially clear), I needed it. Was just a tad too late for the EU store, so very stoked to have managed to grab one from the drop that went live today! kannibal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best price I've seen so far. Never thought they would actually get it. Nice. That’s definitely closer to a fair price. I’m just sitting on mine. I’ll open it and check it out later, but I still feel like $500 was a ridiculous price for what’s in it. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Anyone remember the older 150 gram stickers from before they decided 180 would be the new gimmick? scarfaceclaw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll see it (or maybe not) when you get the box. But when I took out the first vinyl I immediately felt this wasn't 180gr. (also confirmed on discogs) For me it doesn't matter because lower weight vinyl is better for sound quality and it does sound perfect! But I already see people on discogs that they want a replacement because... Blah blah blah. People are fucking ridiculous hahah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I don’t think people are ridiculous, unless they are flying off the handle with rage about it, which seems to be the go to extreme for so many these days. I would have bought the box anyway if it wasn’t advertised as 180g so I don’t really care. But, because it was advertised that way, I at least would like acknowledgment of the error, an apology(a general, not a personal), and then they can offer to pay for return postage for anyone who who wants to return their NM or better box set for a refund, because they feel so “ripped off” or betrayed or lied to. I would bet they wouldn’t get many takers on that, LOL. Of course the “demand” to repress everything is silly. If it was a legit mistake, and they acknowledge it like above, I’m good. I’m not on all the socials so I don’t know if this has gone down or if they are just flipping the bird at people voicing their disappointment, but if they aren’t being cool about it (as one person on Discogs says, that’s not cool at all. I did dive into the set last night and yes, the highlight is the sound quality so far. I only got through Tremulant and Landscape Tantrums but both sounded really great, with near perfect pressing quality. I had a few softer ticks on LT. I really can’t wait to hear the rest. While the music is ultimately what’s important here and they really did a great job with that, I’m not as impressed with physical portions of the box. The book left a lot to desired for me. Not having the Francis EP (there’s easily room for it though, so maybe we can add it later), and the (lack of) vinyl weight all take it down a notch for my value of the box set. As a big fan of the music and a record fan, I can’t help but love this set despite its flaws. Definitely awesome. redroom and scarfaceclaw 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure thing, that’s what I was addressing. It’s one thing to air a little grievances about it, wish for a statement and move on, but some people go ahead and feel entitled to demand a repress of 90k records because of a weight difference. It’s delusional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree though, repressing 90k records is not really an option and I suspect most people who bought the box set would rather have it as is rather than not at all.

Jim Steele Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 It’s not that strange people are complaining, right? The preorder implied these would be the complete studio recordings (turned out that wasn’t the case) on 180 gram vinyl (which apparently isn’t the case). When you charge upwards of 400 + shipping for what’s basically six albums and some extras it’s not that weird that people expect to receive a product as advertised. Especially since we all know the whole 180 grams thing is usually an excuse for companies to actually charge more for a record in the first place. Meanwhile, what really bothers me is that I preordered this thing the day it went up, have not received it yet (or even got shipping confirmation for that matter) while my local record store was selling it on Friday for a slightly lower price than I paid. kannibal, aopps42, scarfaceclaw and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
