There's gotta be a US indie exclusive coming. Maybe a Kerrang/Revolver/Hard Times variant? The +$15 also gets you a 180g version of the record , if you're into that sort of thing. Oh and also the jacket is different (will store the 7 inch and is matte) Edited June 22, 2022 by HardlineKid TheWindBlower 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatrocket8 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I ended up going with the blue butterfly just because it's the most limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subplotofcrows Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Preordered deluxe and a butterfly though Hopeless, was definitely cheaper than TWY site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWindBlower Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Went with the butterfly through Hopeless. Didn't wanna miss out. Didn't see media mail on TWY's site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chamb117 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 if it weren't for the state of the industry at this point i'd be up in arms about $40 for an LP + exclusive 7". but given some gatefold double LPs sell for $40 straight up, this is fine. besides, this band deserves it, especially if this is their swan song, which it sounds like it very well could be. this band changed my life, i can throw them a few extra bucks for that. wyatt's song is ok, oldest daughter is good, summer clothes is genuinely great and i'm not being a dad rock shoegazy old fart about this; also, to me, summer clothes always sounded like it could go on much longer than it does (like, it doesn't feel like it should end when it does, it feels like it should crescendo on forever, bathing in the warm hug of that bass tone), so the fact there's a 7-minute version makes perfect sense frankly i don't have super high hopes for the album. sister cities was a dud for me, and while it sounds better than sister cities already, i don't think it'll reach the heights that no closer to heaven did—which, itself, did not reach the heights that the greatest generation did. just a slow fade out.

glass realms Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 considering how excited and happy they've all mentioned being back on tour, i'd be really surprised if they called it a day anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardlineKid Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I'm not a fan of the way they release vinyl. I had a feeling it would be like this... A few variants that are not very limited. I get why they do it, but the collector in me likes the thrill of scrambling to get the most limited variants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a bit worried that it would be a shit show at noon with 10 variants. This was easy on the wallet and stress free. meatrocket8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few variants that are not very limited. I get why they do it, but the collector in me likes the thrill of scrambling to get the most limited variants. I have to say that I preferred this way that they did it. No bundles, discounts if you built your own bundles, enough variants to have time to think and order/build those bundles, enough of each variant that the different copies remain accessible without fans getting absolutely screwed on the secondhand market, and released at a time that gives the most amount of people a chance to access it if you’re going to do a single time release. As a variant collector and someone who helps other collectors I enjoy the hunt too, but this actually took care of the largest swath of fans and that’s will always be the best method in my book.

HardlineKid Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I also rarely buy more than one variant at a time, so there's also that. I would've liked to secure a /100 and nothing else. If I were collecting all variants, I could see how this is better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatrocket8 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 TWY have never really done a lot of really limited vinyl (less than 500). The most limited Sister Cities variant was the light blue from Banquet which was limited to 500. Besides the opaque blue Banquet variant of NCTH which was limited to 300, the next limited was 1,500. The most limited variant of TGG was also from Banquet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also don't have a retail or indie variant. Then again, SC had very few variants so I also wouldn't be surprised if this was it until September.
