deafmx Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 got this cd, 2 other cd's and 4 bluray movies today for $9 after a $55 reward zone certificate. sometimes an $8 cd is just the better way to go money wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyseancore Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Still no shipping conf on my box. I am disappoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blugel Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 ...not sure what to think of this album...after first listen through, the only song i can really recall is Bloody Mary....i agree its 'different' and maybe even 'difficult', but is it different just for different's sake?

almightyseancore Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 It's not very different to me. Skin graph sounds like it would fit just as well on any of their other albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwgncpr Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I agree. I like that they are slowly evolving their sound, but not straying far. For me, it's a really solid record. Sounds like classic Silversun Pickups with some shoegaze vibes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 We wanted to send you a quick email letting you know there was a minor delay with our warehouse receiving the ultimate boxes, so some of you will receive the boxes later this week instead of today (as we originally intended). SOME OF YOU? LATER THIS WEEK? So "some of you" infers that others DID get it on release date? They must think their fans don't talk. Later this week? that is approaching very fast. Are they shipping them "same day" shipping tomorrow? Fucking topspin. took them two months to ship the smashing pumpkins reissues that were available cheaper and faster elsewhere.

jhulud Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Tospin is yet again proving the worst...they fucked up my Deftones collection boxset. Arrived all damaged and refused to give any sort of refund. Then they had delays and run-arounds also with the Girl With Dragon Tattoo that I thankfully got yesterday...and now this with SSPU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyseancore Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Hoping for a shipping conf or some kind of news today. I didn't pay all this money to get fucked around and confused. I just want my shit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 i'm beyond disappointed that this has not shipped yet. whether it's the label's fault for not getting it to topspin in time or topspin's fault for not shipping these out on time, these were available for preorder months ago.

dreamover Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 also, i've said it before, and i think this is their best album yet. but did anyone see their two performances from kimmel the other day? horrible. part of it was the mix. the keyboards were so loud, the drums, guitar, and bass were totally behind everything. very disappointing.

robbomc Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I've seen a few bands I like perform on Kimmel and sound like crap, so I agree it was probably just a bad mix. Also, still trying to get into this album. I do like it more with each listen... I think hearing it through headphones yesterday helped a bit.

thousandjulys Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 i still like this a good bit, but after repeated listens i feel it may be a little bit too long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 has anyone received the yellow vinyl? or has topspin not sent anything out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pickrunner18 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 the first two tracks on this are perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stinks. These guys might actually be the best sounding live band I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mymirrorspeaks Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 ^ yeah I saw them last year at the Greek in LA and they sounded fantastic. Also I have not received my yellow record yet. And am still pissed about the $9 shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Next to last time I saw SSPU was at a country bar...yes...a country bar...in Ft. Pierce, FL...and yeah, they sounded phenomenal live. And best part is that the place wasn't too crowded and we were right up front between Brian and Nikki. Good times. Edit: Last time I saw them was that headlining tour with Against Me! Forgot about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seamoney Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Saw them open for Muse as well as on the headlining tour with Against Me! that followed. Sold out The Fillmore in downtown Detroit and then tore the place down. It was incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theinkd Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 i saw them in a small club in upstate NY and a much bigger venue in jersey. they are most definitely better in a smaller setting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Yeah they are INCREDIBLE live. Saw them twice and both times blew me away. Can't wait to see them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyseancore Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Considering contacting topspin and asking them to refund the shipping price because of the delay. Maybe If their mistakes actually cost them money, they won't make them so often in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewlucas Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Ahhh! I just ordered the yellow. I wish all the bands I listen to will just take a long break from releasing vinyl. It feels like I've spent a good $500 since record store day. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
