TP/PO: POISON THE WELL "The Tropic Rot" dbl LP

[llamason56]

this needs to come out already

[ijux]

hoping for any update soon

[vinyljunkie]

why does everyone only name 5 albums. what about the distance makes the heart grow fonder, which is easily the bands best album.

[Guest drahtuos]

wasn't this supposed to be out already? any news would be cool.

Most definitely, since it features Duane. I would guess since it's the bands first EP and the singer(s) left the band after that came out.

But after picking this new record up, I am not feeling it like I thought I would..

[alertthemute]

Is this release on hold?

[ijux]

still no news? :/

[ijux]

little update.

i emailed justin at vinylcollective, got a reply saying the release is about 1 month delayed.

[llamason56]

so that means it should be shipping at the end of this month?

[alertthemute]

Glad to finally get (somewhat of) an update.

[alertthemute]

Has anyone heard any new dates for this yet?

[llamason56]

nope

[bleachedtshirt]

really wish i hadn't ordered this along with 3 other records that are currently available, feel like its never coming out..

[llamason56]

i'm so pissed this isn't out yet

[ijux]

the lack of official updates is abit annoying. baroness - red album all over again?

[infektiousart]

It is a bit out of control how there has been nothing at all said officially about this release

[llamason56]

yeah, a little update on what exactly is delaying this would be pretty nice. i feel like i'm waiting for thrice's alchemy index all over again. but with no news what so ever.

[alertthemute]

Virgil said that they had to switch pressing plants or something.

[googlemyass]

fail.

gotta have money to press records.

[llamason56]

i get no response whenever i send a message or email asking about this

[edit]

got this email from andy:

Hey,

I'm gonna put together an email at the end of the day today regarding the info on this release and send it out to everyone that ordered it. Sorry for the wait and the confusion!

so hopefully the news shall be good!

[alertthemute]

In case anyone missed it:

Friends, I have been meaning to put together an update about Poison the Well's "The Tropic Rot" as I realize that it has been forever since we initially announced the pre-order for this album. Unfortunately, this release has been plagued with a number of problems and as such, we still don't have the records in stock. The good news is that, after a number of headaches with one pressing plant, we have commissioned a second pressing plant to complete the job and things seem to be in motion. We have not yet received a test pressing but, we are expecting one soon. If the test pressing approval goes smoothly, we hope that we will have completed records before Christmas.

I am very, very, very sorry that this release has taken so long. It is because of problems, like the one with "tropic rot," that we do not plan to post pre-orders for records until the test pressings are already approved.

If you ordered other items that have been held up due to Tropic Rot, email [email protected], and we will send you your available items. If you no longer want to wait, we can either issue you a credit or a refund. I can assure you that everything is in motion and I am pretty hopeful we will have records before the holidays.

I appreciate everyone's understanding and patience in this manner. To say that 2009 has been a difficult year is a bit of an understatement. We are excited to get the records done as we love the album and can't wait for everyone to hear it on vinyl.

I'll be patiently waiting on this one!

[shley]

Would like to see some more progress before forking out the $20.

[infektiousart]

This is the reason I hesitate buying pre-orders. And then I get frustrated when they sell out. I hope some progress gets made with this soon.

[bleachedtshirt]

you know.. i don't even care anymore..
