Eliminator Jr. Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I have a deep scratch during Mayonnaise (which sucks ass), other than that it's just as lovely as all their represses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I'm really worried the machina reissue will never happen. Machina II is the only reissue I REALLY wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Is he still working on a new album? I feel like after the summer tour he's gone into radio silence for everything but wrestling and vintage photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows? he deleted his twitter and started a blog of vintage photos of people with their cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planetrakis Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 They did a great version of A New Poetry when they played at the Marquee theater in Tempe. It's in the online archive if you are interested in checking that out. I fucking loved Zwan so much. Yes, yes they did. That was a great show that didn't even sell out if i recall.

Ryan8765 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Last I heard the new album was done. They wanted to make sure Monuments had its time in the sun before releasing the new one. I also recently heard that SP has signed to some new label. So there must be stuff in the works. Whether its to finish the reissues or to release even more new music.

nathan_s82 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Dammit, they better complete and reissue Machina I & II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billynomates Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Dammit, they better complete and reissue Machina I & II. Agreed. How long is it since the Adore reissue? And what was the gap between MC and Adore? That might give us a clue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timsimmons Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I can see why the label may not be in a rush to do a Machina set. It seems like its gonna be huge set like MCIS was.And given the price points of these sets, none of these have sold gangbusters out of the gate (hell most posts in this thread are basically, "its too expensive, I'll wait for it to come down") they probably want to move stock of all these other sets before releasing another big one. I'm sure it will happen though. Probably not until after this new album cycle though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to know pressing numbers on all of the reissues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DecayToDeath Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Does that include the pressing of extra copies for the current ones? I still want Mellon Collie for a decent price and it must have run out of press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beags Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 That is actually the most depressing news to wake up to possible... I mean theyre going to happen at some point but god damn that Machina/II repress is my most wanted pressing ever. I almost feel that those who pot/don't rate that album never gave it a full chance. Wound, SIYL, Age of Innocence, This Time, Raindrops + Sunshowers, Heavy Metal Machine all rank amongst Billy's/their best work IMO. The flow/light and shade of the album, the concept, hell even the artwork... I dont know how it didn't receive more critical praise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't receive praise because the rock world had become ingrossed in nu metal and the crap bands it brought, the band alienated people with adore, and it wasn't radio friendly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that, the album is very bloated and the production on many of the songs is pretty murky as well. The last bit alienated a lot of fans because many of us hardcore nuts at the time had heard versions of a lot of these songs (which sounded great then) from the Arising Tour prior to its release. I have an OG of Machina already, but will still pick up the deluxe reissue for Machina 2/Friends and Enemies of Modern Music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
