cadetapplesauce Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 3x5" display case? For what? Hmm.. I love the foos but I don't ever see myself wearing that shirt or using a wristband or finding a permanent home for that patch. Fun set, though. Great deal, too.

mcpherson123 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Stupid! Why the fuck would they destroy the original tape it was recorded on??? They must be counting on 2012 being the end of the world because why else would you cut the original tape into little pieces and disseminate them to the public unless you knew you were never going to press the album again? Am I crazy? Even if they bounced it to a backup tape they'll still have loss, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troymess Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I love this band dearly but I can't justify $80 right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andydrums Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I have to say I agree with the cutting up of the tape thing. Does seem a bit stupid. I can't justify $80 on this atm, plus whatever stupid amount postage would be to the UK. *Edit - Just checked & shipping to the UK is $32 making it $111.99 in total. DEFINITELY can't justify that atm * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suburbanargyle Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I'm sure they just cut up the mountains of throwaway tape they probably have. Also, decent price on this....I'll probably just get the LP and the CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hudsoncomplex Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I probably would have bought this, but its sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they bounced it to a backup tape they'll still have loss, right? Unless they did everything in one take, I'm sure they have hours of outtakes. In fact they probably recorded a bunch of audio saying "you are a chump for buying this package" cause you will never know. Just kidding I might of bought it if it wasn't sold out.

mcpherson123 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Looks to me like there was absolutely no reason to not wait for the standard issue of either the CD or LP. A bunch of gimmicky junk basically. Granted the display case sounds cool as hell but is definitely one of those types of things that can be filed under "Go Without."

Ok it is double LP, but still..... I think most foos LPs I've bought were around $20-23 new (even for the OOP albums, except for TCATS where I paid like $60). Granted, though, every record of theirs (since In Your Honor) has been super nice, high quality stuff. I'm happy to pay $23 for them. There is Nothing Left To Lose could use a reissue though, because it sounds horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too bad that it got such an awful vinyl treatment though. It's just so muddy and gross sounding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
