prowl20 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 https://boris.bandcamp.com/album/fade They're a metal band, but also this album is SUPER droney so I'd rather make a separate post in case anyone overlooks those catch-all threads.

Yeah, I'm not liking the price tag on this one. It was $50 shipped for me and that was a tough call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 +1 more post to whine about that pricing, sheesh. It clearly had no problem selling out on Bandcamp or SB’s site, but damn. By comparison, I preordered Tim Hecker’s latest 2LP – another drone album due this year – about a week ago. $22 before $6 shipping. Granted, not colored vinyl, I think I prefer spending < 50% for the same format if it’s at the cost of color. 180 gram is not a marketable feature. What does a “laminate gatefold” constitute? Just like a glossy finish? I’m trying to fathom why the base price is so gnarly on this thing. Nothing else about the description would suggest it’s anything particularly fancy.

bjorn Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) I would have liked to buy it, but not with those prices. In cases like this, my move is to buy the Bandcamp download and dub myself a tape and print out a J-card with the artwork. I get almost all the analog fun for a fraction of the cost.

throwgncpr Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Really wanted this, but I'm out. I can't support $50 record pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instantly preordered it. Derek™ and throwgncpr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecayToDeath Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 ez pass for me cuz i just ain't into this one but i'm still right there with everybody else trying to figure out why it's so expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aopps42 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I’d like a copy but I have probably 25 Boris LP’s, I’ll manage without dropping $50 on this. Multiverse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
