northernfailure Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I was bummed to find out that the download card was for 160kbps mp3s. This makes NO sense to me. 160kbps is low quality for mp3s. Very low... I pretty much never see anything below 192kbps anymore. Much of the time with download cards, they give you the highest quality mp3s, which is 320kbps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickydenim Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Just picked up my copy in Australia. Man its beautiful! Really nice packaging. My 2nd record is slightly warped though has a bit of a dip in it. Doesn't cause any tracking issues though. Anyone else have this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philviral Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 My local store got this in so I grabbed it there and cancelled my Amazon.ca order. If amazon.ca didn't get in on the original press of 4k then my guess is they never will, and anyone who pre-ordered is gonna get boned.

If amazon.ca didn't get in on the original press of 4k then my guess is they never will, and anyone who pre-ordered is gonna get boned. I put in an order with amazon.com when they had the album listed as being "available in 6 to 11 days". Sounded like a stretch but I gave it a shot. Today they have it marked as "shipping soon" so perhaps not everyone will get screwed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brammyg Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Amazon.CA shipped my other item (The Postmortal by Drew Magary, can't wait to read it) separately today free of shipping charge. Really happy about that! I guess we'll see what happens with the Thrice record, hopefully they'll get some soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa Bateman Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Local Hot Topic here had like 2-3 copies of this album. Not my cup of tea so I didn't buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I was at Looney Tunes in Long Island yesterday and the guy there told me that a second pressing on black vinyl is coming out for Record Store Day (Black Friday) in November. He said the original run was essentially for pre-orders only and the remaining copies were sent to stores, lottery-style, so some retailers got zero.

Holy shit, seriously? That is fucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penthrive Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 For those who live near Towson, Maryland: the Record and Tape Traders carries the vinyl. I grabbed one and there should be one left, but I'm sure the last one will go this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamason56 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 glad i was able to get mine from HT.com while i had the chance. i didn't realize this was getting to be so hard to find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davepriz Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 just got mine from amazon. amazon gets a lot of shit on the forums for failing to follow through on pre-orders but they HARDLY ever fail for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lipmyreeds Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Couldn't find this locally today. Just tried Amazon and they're currently OOS it appears. Did the Oldies.com thing, hope that works. /4000 my ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamason56 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 i'm still pissed i can never find vheissu for a decent price. i passed on when it originally came out because i figured it'd be available for awhile (which it was really) but now you can't really find it for under 100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 i'm not too worried, beggars is still in print--i'm sure they'll do a repress if this one goes OOP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vheissu and Artist In The Ambulance both need to be repressed. And maybe I'm the only one, but I passed on the Alchemy Index box when it first came out, but I would totally buy that shit now. I hope for a repress, but that one seems a little more unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamason56 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 i think that if the alchemy index did get repressed i think it would only be on a 2xLP. i think it could all fit on two and if not then three for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
