TFP Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Yeah, their bus driver died and most everyone was injured Dryden broke his neck and was almost paralyzed when the medical personnel in Spain were trying to move him and nobody understood his concerns in English. Hence the B-Side "Spain (In The Neck)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shitty Rambo Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Looks like they're pressing their Greatest Hits to be apart of their Pledge Music campaign. I'm sure as hell not spending $75 and a Greatest Hits album and t-shirt. https://m.facebook.com/alienantfarm/posts/579801982038552 I have no idea why they don't just press their new album alone on black 180g and charge $25 for that and a digital download.

rawker31 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 They have ANThology on the pledge site for $50. It's signed and on 180 gram. I prefer to have no signatures so I sent a message if it was possible to not have it signed and they said no problem! I hope this goes through.

beardacus Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I've loved this band for years, and I've wanted their albums pressed for quite some time. But, it's hard to justify these prices; even if they've lowered the price down a bit since the initial posting. Especially when ANThology is, apparently, going to have 'new' artwork and the disc(s) is/are going to be 'shaped like the ant,' which I'm assuming they're describing a possible picture disc(s). This is what I've gathered from their Facebook page anyway. Hopefully they've changed their minds on that atrocious idea, and adopted the idea of traditional vinyl.

codeine Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Surprised no one has jumped on pressing 3EB, Counting Crows, or Blind Melon. They have such high demand on eBay. I'm not a fan of Kid Rock or AAF, but the difference not stated here is Kid Rock had a hit before he did a cover. AAF did a cover of Michael Jackson and have never had a successful song written by themselves. I like the cover but no substance outside of it...anyone can make a hit from a Michael Jackson song. Yeah that was the label's decision. The first single off the album was supposed to be 'Movies' IIRC, but the label wanted it to be 'Smooth Criminal' instead. Which sucks because that is basically what cemented their one-hit-wonder status. In terms of their early stuff they had some damn good songs. 'Movies' was one of them.

The first single was 'Movies', it was re-released after the success of 'Smooth Criminal' with a new video. Actually, there are 3 different videos for 'Movies', with the 3rd being the bigger budget one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the fact that the label paid to re-shoot a big budget version kinda proves my point that the label wanted Smooth Criminal to be the lead single and Movies to be the follow-up. We're really spitting hairs here, though. My point was that most people only know them from the cover, but they had good songs that went largely ignored by the mainstream populous and their label had no small part in that.

Still too rich for my blood. Now if it were TruAnt I might be on board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samehardluckx Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I want ANThology but the $50 price tag is killing me. Is it right to assume though that they probably won't make that available outside of this pledge deal at some point? So conflicted...

If they don't reach their goal, chances are they won't even press it. Who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
untiliwakeup Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Just browsing pledgemusic and found AAF is offering signed copies for 50$. Kind of steep but I know a lot of you were hoping for a release of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyseancore Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 hopefully after this pledge thing they'll be selling the leftovers for less. anthology is a damn fine album, but not worth $50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very most it should have been $25. I saw a lot of snotty comments regarding the price on their status updates.For $50 they should have included this, the new album, and a poster or something.

Think of it as the vinyl being $25, the digital download of the new album for $10 (bc you get that too) and a donation of $15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rawker31 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 No. It's not a matter of your opinion of the band, that's just how it's set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agreetodisagree Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 It's not a matter of your opinion of the band, that's just how it's set up. My opinion of the band is positive. Liked ANThology and UITA. But justifying the $50 buy-in for the vinyl as you broke it down seems silly. $25 for what will definitely be a 2XLP. Okay. I can get down with that. Digitial download for $25? Pfft. That being said, I'll make sure I hit you up first when I'm trying to crowd-fund an album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were charging that in their merch store, then I would say that's ridiculous. When Protest The Hero did their crowd fund, their vinyl cost like $45 and people ate that up. Think what you want, but it helps bands reach their funding goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
