lexicondevil Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) I really did not need this expensive temptation. I can't see anything that says who is signing the bookplate. WHOOPS! Skipped the first details. Edited March 22, 2021 by lexicondevil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worth that ugly $120 book, especially after paying $33 for the silent version of the Microphones in 2020 which is just about as elaborate if not more so. esbe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelso330 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 They are smart to tie the book to an LP. Being a National completist I had to buy. If it was just a book, would of been a hard pass... damn they got me... Shelby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivions Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) If you can drop $150 plus tax and shipping for an 8 song record, the LP does look pretty sweet. I’ve been burnt by the idealistic temptation of owning coffee table books in the past. I have 3-4 of those chunky guys collecting dust on my shelf, barely touched. So, this was an easy nope.

lexicondevil Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Went with the CT exclusive because who doesn't love a brown colored record and a book I will leaf through once? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 To his credit, he's gotten some great live shots of the NTL. When they were selling his prints, there were some awesome ones in the collection. But yeah, its a book you'll flip through once every couple years. I'll play the live record way more.

jackshidt Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Agreed with the naysayers on the book. Jeez, from the photos on the order page it looks like a hard-cover tour program book (with grainy black and white photos, no less). 240 pages, but with every photo taking 2 pages and each paragraph of text taking 2 more pages, there's almost nothing there.

dreamover Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 yeah, i want the record but would only flip through the book a few times. don't think i can justify the price tag on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivions Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I’m also personally not really into celebrity/band worship these days. Bands and artists achieve some pretty cool stuff and 20 years is a worthy milestone but these are normal people who happen to be in a successful band and it feels weird having giant font quotes of very important things they’ve said in a huge book on my coffee table. They’re my favorite band but I don’t want post-COVID guests to think I idolize their members. Lol. esbe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was like how did you discover us just from complaining then I actually looked at the photos and half of them are cosplaying as the band.

nelso330 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) For the amount of people passing on this here, looks like there is a large group jumping on this. Granted it’s just open to cherry tree members so that’s not a stretch. but only two variants left .... clear and brown unsigned Edited March 22, 2021 by nelso330 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
