shenanigans Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 a REAL label would have emailed an update to those who ordered as soon as they were going to miss the release date again. Also, wasn't an update promised like a week and a half ago? It takes 5 minutes to write an email and say whats up - give an estimated timeline.

hickey Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 A lot of people supported Virgil until he turned out to be a total crook too. Maybe this will be the thing that turns people, but I doubt it. I guarantee you that any Blink-182 record that MTS puts out will sell out in pre-order. Hell, I'd wager if he put one up now it would sell out despite people being pissed about this record being delayed. Either way, my feeling is that it's unfortunate, it's a shitty way to do business, but I've already waited this long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true, but only because blink-182 is attached to it. I'm pissed off, but I was ready to buy one of those returned 180grams - until I saw he rose the prices. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushbacktosquare Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Update from MTS Facebook: Hello all - we are working on the website, not sure what the issue is, but it is being resolved now. Regarding TOYPAJ, these are shipping from the pressing plant either tomorrow or early next week. I will post the UPS tracking number(s) when I get the e-mail so you can all track where the boxes are en route to our office. The written foreward is coming along smoothly and we'll post an update when we have all the pieces together. The only thing missing is an image to use and final layout approval. Again, if you want a refund - e-mail me ([email protected]) and you will get one right away. No one is forcing you to keep your order, so you can either wait a little longer or get an immediate refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud87 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I like how even in that update there's no apology or anything. Sounds kind of dickish actually with the whole "No-one is forcing you" attitude. I feel bad actually in that I kind of hope this keeps getting delayed and delayed just for the drama it causes. It's pretty funny but I feel bad for you poor dudes on here. Also it's pretty hilarious that he says it's shipping tomorrow maybe but then says the final layout isn't approved. What a label!

Shitty Rambo Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 You guys are ODing. When it comes it'll be in good condition, and he's trying to make amends by giving us something for free. 99% of you aren't even going to listen to it. I bet everyone on facebook is just mad that they're taking this long to make it because it means they have to wait even longer to flip it. I fucking hate RJ sympathizers.

I have no interest in this record at all and I still feel bad for those of you who ordered it from a dude who is so flippant. That last line reads more like a swear word being thrown out as the door closes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mot Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Not the worst experience I have had (considering its been nearly two years since I ordered that Integrity/RIH split from TDON... and still nothing), but I won't be ordering from MTS again. Nice to know this after I gave them Gallows money. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanRees Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Im not sympathizing or siding with MTS at all, I work for a record label as well and their delays blow my mind. However i have a order in for this (that was placed within minutes of it going live) and am patiently waiting because a. their releases are always really good quality and b. its not like this is a new release, this album has been out for what? 10 years at least? While it is annoying and i would have liked to have a long time ago, i'm not as pissed as most for those reasons. We'll get 'em eventually and ill be happy when i do. Till then, i wait. But man i sure hope they learn from their many mistakes in the future with this project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebear Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 They won't 'learn' a damn thing, because as evidenced by R.J.'s tone in the last update, he doesn't give a shit about the people on the other end of the transaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebear Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I'm not pissed to the point of calling the Better Business Bureau on this note someone i went to college with works for the BBB in NYC handling and investigating claims. he knows i buy records and asked if i've heard of this label called Mightier Than Sword because they have actually gotten two or three complaints against MTS since September. but only one of which was investigated because the people filing the complaint put down fake contact information. their investigation stopped and was closed when MTS failed to reply. Shocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masonxstorm91 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 honestly the only reason i'm keeping this order is because the hot topic version looks like shit and the self titled i ordered from them has better packaging than the hot topic version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idreamofpunk Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I'm keeping it because while I've got the OG press, I'm a sucker for great packaging. I'm still excited to get this, and I'm not sweating the delays. Not particularly happy with it, but I'm going to get it eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I wish Travis would get another 500 of these pressed so I could cancel this shit. If I hadn't sold my HT copy after POing this shit I would have canceled a long time ago. RJ is such an asshole about everything and his "label" is essentially guaranteed to go under now.

stopcrying Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I got a pretty hearty lol at the comments from his supporters on Facebook. Take the cock a little deeper down your throat guys. This label is one giant joke as we all know & I'm happy to say I've never given them a dime. I don't listen to anything on his label anyway but I do enjoy reading Blink 182 threads on here. The whole upping the price thing of the 180g version just shows his character & what type of person he is. Guess he's recouping the loss he's taking on those 50% of codes he gave out. To those that have stuck with your orders....I hope it comes through & that you're happy with the end result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: No I wouldn't. If they've dropped their investigation and haven't gotten him so far, they never will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkticon Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Just so you know, the BBB is a racket.

Take your nonsensical bashing to VLV you bitch. *Looks at your sig* : Responses like that prevent world peace. Secondly, referring to anyone that disagrees with you as a bitch, makes you one. You can't even handle the fact that someone disagrees with you without getting your panties in a bunch. I'm not bashing, at least I wasn't in the beginning. I said you guys are ODing, which means you're over doing it. One thing is putting in a complaint, and another is what you guys are doing. This thread has 25 pages of calling him a crook, a theif, blah blah blah. Please tell me, what is pissing and moaning all over the place going to do to remedy the situation? I can recognize that getting all butt-hurt over this accomplishes nothing, so what I'm doing is just looking at the bright side. As of now, he hasn't screwed anyone over by not shipping a record, and we're getting a free record for this. The dude fucked up, he admitted it, and now he is trying to make amends. Shut the fuck up already. We get it, you're upset. No one cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jailhouse Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Weird how some people get kind of stoked over delays and such. I wish those same people were fans of the stuff we put out. Sometimes our shipping is slow. I wish people got stoked whenever we get backed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
