tokimedo Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 I listened to the first track back to back with the blue variant and they sound identical. Forgot to check for gapless playback but will ask my roommate to check since I’m traveling until the 11th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rooks Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Im annoyed I even ordered it in the first place. Especially now that it's the same shit SRC put out. Even more annoyed my order says shipped but there's no tracking or inkling of when it was "shipped" on the site. Sent an email in asking about it.

I dont get what the holdup is I emailed them last week about it and they said they just gotten them in and were shipping them out. I logged in to my USPS informed delivery and have tracking from them but it’s still in preshipment. Assuming they’ll hopefully go out this week.

Bronchitis Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Man, I remember reading through this thread years ago and this whole situation is such a mindfuck. So the band never ended up doing the superior version they promised and just sold the SRC version? Yikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were so mad that SRC did their pressing, told everyone not to buy it because it sucked and that they would be putting out a better version later on. Then they just say fuck it and release the same exact thing with shittier artwork lol. copelandkid, Derek™ and Bronchitis 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffbloom Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) My copy arrived today... - I don't know how I did t pick up on the new artwork is just a foldover poster, only signed by one person... And it isn't even folded properly. - this is LITERALLY the same as the SRC press and even has the SRC HI-FI sticker on it. Really quite disappointing that they put out the laziest product for a 10y anniversary. Absolute cash grab.

This release deserves an “A” for “Absolurely No Fucks Given.” On the bright side it looks like mine was signed by Kendrick Lamar. beta114 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
