GradedOnACurve Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Wow what a shock. An anarchist band who believed only in $5 dollar shows signs to a major label years later and re-releases all their album demos for $30 a pop. Sounds like a band with strong convictions... I think you'll find they were teenage anarchists. When you're 30 shit changes. Gotta eat, pay rent, support family. Ideals don't put food on the table or start off record companies the same way releasing music does. Not saying you're not allowed to make money off your music. Can't sell out if you never bought in though. They even made a DVD bout it. I'm not an anarchist but radical politics are not meant to be trendy. Plus their music sucks now anyway.

jonnywreck Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 oh snap...the b-sides are some of the best tracks from this album. will be buying this for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brammyg Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I feel like this should have been released 10 years from now. With that being said, great album, so I hope whoever buys it enjoys it (can't afford this right now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbw87 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Ughh i ordered this at like 530est and havent gotten a confirmation email from them...but i got a paypal confirmation hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathroommonkey Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 ugh, i hate not knowing if i got colored vinyl. i would guess i missed it but it's very mean to leave record nerds hanging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanRees Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 You could probably email them and ask. Total treble has really good customer service. I've ordered from them a few different times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathroommonkey Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 holy crap, i just emailed them and actually got a response back. they must be up watching Colbert like me. seems they are just under 250 orders, so if you want one it sounds like it's time to jump.

jonnywreck Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I wonder if the black is limited in any way. I hope not, because I want to buy this, but not at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcm1610 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I have one copy of every single AM! release, so I can't miss this, even though I want to skip it due to the price. Oh well, I caved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totaltreble Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Quick update on the presale. If you've ordered LP already, you'll be getting a colored vinyl version. If you haven't ordered it yet, colored vinyl are almost gone. Be sure to get your order in soon if you want the colored vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychoriley Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I guess this goes to show just exactly what this album is doing to AM! sales to not even sell 250 color copies in a day. With White Crosses and all these recycled demo versions of albums....some good "new'" material will be nice....and I guess that will be the real test in what direction they are gonna go....if they keep going this white crosses direction I think they will lose most of their current fan base....if not already...

mitchard Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Pretty stoked for these, seeing as it'll be the first time they have gotten released. Strip Mall Parking Lots (full band hopefully? the acoustic version ruled) Hot Shots Soul Surrender David Johansen's Soul Ordered a copy. I'll probably pick up black later on when I have more "blow lots of money on AM stuff I dont technically need but still really want" cash laying around. Also, I am pretty interested to see how the artwork will change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quitlylosngcntrl Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 ordered last night when i was drunk. fuck paypal for being so easy to do intoxicated. but, hot shots and david johansen both sounded great when they were playing them live, so my hopes are high. they were songs i really wished had made the (lackluster) album (along with lehigh acres) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
