kitesvera Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I was also disappointed with the quality of the box. In the picture it looks like it will be a nice possibly felt lined box with a more sturdy structure. Its basically a gift box you would get a sweater in for x mas, with the black on black crosses logo on the top. Upon opening the box it was overall pretty empty. After seeing the shitty quality of the box, this was not really worth 100 bucks. Had i actually paid for it, i would have felt ripped off. (It was a very late x mas gift). I feel like the box Would have been acceptable if they had filled it to the brim with other shit, like a poster, button, stickers, a CD of the ep, etc to make it worth a hundred bucks, but they didnt. Overall I guess its cool, but i feel like I paid 100 bucks for a t shirt and a 10 record with 5 tracks on it. The scarf appears to be pretty high quality, unfortunately i doubt if i ever actually use it. The necklace is also something that was ok quality wise i guess, but once again will never wear. The stencil is cool, but also relatively useless. And the usb drive is cool i guess, but will never use that either Im sure. I was impressed with the record and the diecut sleeve, but no lyric sheet was also disappointing.Havent listened to it yet, so i can say anything about the quality of the vinyl itself.T shirt fits and is nice. Overall conclusion if you actually paid for this, its kinda a rip off unless you actually have a use for all the useless shit that came in this box set.

deafmx Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 as expected, this box is a bummer. i wish I had the 10" but I'm glad I never caved. sorry to all the people that feel so ripped off. I don't blame you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickinfatbeats Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 sad thing is that much of the disappointment could have been spared by just packaging it in a nicer box. sure, the stuff in the box would have still been largely useless, but i would have felt considerably less ripped if it had just come in a nicer box.

rickydenim Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Anyone care to take a pic of the box so we can have a gander? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickinfatbeats Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 the camera on my phone is awful, so it doesn't do it justice especially in the realm of color but here you are... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfingelectrode Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Haha, what a cheap/shitty package. Fits the music inside, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickydenim Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Thanks for posting the pics! Yeah the box ain't too pretty. Probably sitting up on a shelf it wouldn't look too bad as long as noone looks inside it! Does it say if its 45rpm on the vinyl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingnatural Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Shit's as tacky as it gets. Haha, it's even hand numbered inside the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I feel like someone took a big shit in the lives of everyone who bought this. What is the deal with that box? I know it was described but seeing it adds a whole new dimension of awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickinfatbeats Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 it really is a shame that they didn't just sell the record separately, it's a pretty sexy disc. hopefully if they press the second EP it will be solo and not bundled with a bunch of overpriced junk. although i do have to say the scarf feels pretty nice. i'll be putting that bad boy to the test while i'm in North Dakota next week...

rickydenim Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Mine arrived today. Yep, very underwelmed. Box is shit. No number on my box. T-shirt was too small too. Hopefully the vinyl sounds good or I'll regret this even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickydenim Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 No number on my box. You may want to check in the box. Nup. Nothing written in the box or on the sides or outer. It doesn't say it anywhere but the vinyl is pressed at 45rpm at does sound damn good. That's one expensive record though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daegor Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Canoe /derail ON TOPIC: If the EPs aren't released in one full album or set at a later point on vinyl in a NORMAL package, I'll shoot someone. I'm thinking ala Modwheelmood's three Pearls to Pigs EPs, released individually, then combined and released as one cohesive album which got a vinyl treatment (still need to find that...)

kickinfatbeats Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 i would like to see individual releases carried out before a compilation is considered. now that i'm invested in this ridiculously expensive first ep, you can bet your ass i'll be the first retard in line to fork over my cash for the second one. hopefully it isn't part of a 'bundle' again...
