summerfences Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 no love for the 180g black? figured that would be the first variant to go given that they were both /300. /shrug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious. Unless you're McPherson, black vinyl is considered serviceable but definitely the "boring" choice around these here parts – assuming there is a choice, of course. (Oh, and what they don't tell you is that the G in 180g stands for gimmick. Wish we still had spoiler tags so I could mask that.) I really don't see what it has going for it over the other choices, myself. mcpherson123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The marble shows sold out now as well, and that was out of 900. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitvinyl Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Hyped for this but Spring 2022 seems crazy. Especially after Topshelf originally planned for the toe represses mid-July 2021, and now they're saying October/November without any heads up to people who placed an order.

I don’t mind black, but I occasionally like to resell things if I want something else or just don’t like the album as much as I assumed. Black gets 0 love on the aftermarket. I tried GIVING AWAY a Minecraft Beta 2xLP that Ghostly sent to me on accident and there were no takers on IG or Reddit. I ended up selling it for $10 on Discogs and someone though I was running a scam lol. Multiple people asked about it bc the price was low but only wanted a colored copy lol. Usually I have a hard time even selling at price and have to just lose money on it. A major part of the hobby (not for me) is being flashy on IG or wherever, so black is unfortunately dead to most.

Shelby Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I'm super hyped for these guys to sell that many copies after 8 years. There's plenty of time to put a second pressing order in lol whoa and MCDELTAT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't see what it has going for it over the other choices, myself. A mention but no tag? What's up with that, bro? 😋 In all seriousness though, I've slept on this. Wanted to listen to the single first but was too busy last night. Might just scoop that 180gimmick black anyway but that wait though. If I don't get it, I'm sure it will go out of print and then I'll end up loving the album so much that I'll wish I had just bought it. I held out hope they would eventually repress HYSMPC on black at some point but obviously that didn't happen. I actually have that on the original translucent green and red. Never got into YAOMM. I'd probably enjoy it but it just sort of fell by the wayside for me. I was certain they couldn't top the first LP and was pursuing fairly different genres more aggressively when that came out.

anchorclose Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 The new song is SO GOOD. Purchased this immediately after hearing it for the first time. Can't wait to listen to the whole record. YouLoveHisWife 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Jamming all these new song drops, so glad I nabbed the 180g press. Holy shit, the boys are jamming at 100% dopeness and I can't wait to hear it all at it's highest potential! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xthricex Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Wasn’t entirely sure about pre-ordering this on vinyl. After listening this morning, kicking myself for missing out on both pressings, album is solid. Also dumbfounded I never picked up always on my mind. #regrets Shelby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
