xthricex Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 dammit, these look soo good! Makes seriously consider getting one even though I have the original press. Such a hard decision to put up the cash for another copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someasiandude Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Why would it be such a hard decision? The original press is compressed and sounds like crap on a 1 LP and the new press is 2 LP and not compressed. For listening purposes the new press is going to be a kabillion times better.

Emo Revival Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Why would it be such a hard decision? The original press is compressed and sounds like crap on a 1 LP and the new press is 2 LP and not compressed. For listening purposes the new press is going to be a kabillion times better. It was a very scientific study that came to the conclusion that listening to the 2xLP is a kabillion times better than the 1 LP. Since there is science behind it there is no option but to go for the reissue.* *No actual science was used in making this claim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokimedo Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 yeah, if i were him id sell off my first press (seeing as they are still pulling in $150+, as of now) and just buy this copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I don't want to start the habit of buying represses of LP's I already have for vanity's sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant selling the original press was not simple math because it has sentimental value, not that I don't listen to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

achillesstand7 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I don't think the first pressing sounds bad at all (it sounds good, in fact). But I will still be buying the new one too. It looks awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 I dont have a first press so I cant compare the two pressings but the 2xLP sounds awesome! Plus new artwork and cool colored vinyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

googlemyass Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Not just CA. We ship out from 2 distro centers. One here in CA and one in TN. They showed up here in CA and apparently were already shipped out to stores. They havent arrived in TN yet so they likely wont get out to stores over there til 4/10 and thats where HT.com is fulfilled from. So will these be available before the street date at Hot Topics in the LA area? I missed out on AITA and don't wanna miss out on this as well.

There's really no hard street date but these went out before they were suppose to, which is fine, to stores in the western US. Its only going to select anyways. Ill check tomorrow to see if any stores got it yet and post a list of those stores. Artist repress is coming early/mid May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirdubblin Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 H LY CRAP... just saw the pics and now I'm all boned up. Looks like I'll be getting up at 5am again in the race to land one of these bad boys from HT.com on 4/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I'm generally pretty ignorant to most of Thrice's music but this LP looks glorious. Also, travis, I'm sure this question has come up before but do you get to keep all these test presses that you listen to and approve?

Those stores still had them in stock days later. It should be first come first served. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
