mcpherson123 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 WTF? Did you order from Relapse? Mine hasn't even shipped yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipsical Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Yep. The info on their site regarding order status isn't exactly reliable, mine still says "processing" but I'm spinning the record right now. <33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Ok... Cool. Hopefully mine is here by Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zick Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Yep. The info on their site regarding order status isn't exactly reliable, mine still says "processing" but I'm spinning the record right now. <33 Mine still says on hold. Hopefully it shows up next week.

mattisr1984 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 LOL $500. Dicks. this is what people get for paying absurd prices for records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingnatural Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Had no idea these were already shipping. I don't have a way to check my order but hopefully I see it soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipsical Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Quick shots, I'm moving so my photography area is covered in boxes. The packaging is way over-the-top. The Paul Romano art on the inside pages is really well done too, a nice surprise. The only thing better than the art and packing is the tunes on dem grooves.

markok Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Which mailer did they use? Good enough for shipping to Europe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest obzen Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 @ crusherdestroyer, will the book fit in a 2 mil poly bag? Thanks a lot for the photos as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipsical Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Which mailer did they use? Good enough for shipping to Europe? I ordered three copies (one for me, two for two friends) and everything was double-boxed. @ crusherdestroyer, will the book fit in a 2 mil poly bag? Thanks a lot for the photos as well! Haha, there's no way it'll fit in a 2 mil poly bag. Not even close. You'll definitely need one of those "box set" size poly bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skiptomygiroux Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 clear versions are for relapse people only i believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tco Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 clear versions are for relapse people only i believe Relapse sell clears on ebay and on discogs, and the employees also flip them there too. Also noticed the $500 one on discogs has gone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Mine came today but I had to go to work right when the mail was delivered so I couldn't even crack open the mailer itself. It felt super thick though. They either accidentally sent me a deluxe version or they padded the living hell out of it. Probably the latter.

seanicus Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Vacation Vinyl tweeted a pic of a clear copy they had in their shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Yeah, there's a pretty cool promotion going on across the country: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stranaspank Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 My deluxe version was wrapped in three layers of bubble wrap and had four cardboard inserts. Relapse packed the fuck out this thing. The entire packaging for the record is great. No DL code with it, or am I being dumb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Ditto with my deluxe packaging. Super-secure. Record looks and sounds killer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcpherson123 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I would like to try to find that Golden Ticket at Reckless. Too bad I work like all day tomorrow. It'll probably be gone by the afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Just spun mine all the way through and I was not particularly pleased. Its not terrible music, it just doesn't do a whole lot for me. Didn't help that my copy is off center and the notes bend too much to ignore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I was not particularly pleased. Its not terrible music, it just doesn't do a whole lot for me. Same initial impression for me. I went into it with an appropriately open mind, but some of those clean vocals are just too jarring for the first play. Moments of it didn't even feel like Baroness; as lame as it is to admit, I think I miss a lot of the riffs and complexity that metal heads are crying about. But I respect the band's progression of sound, and I'm eager to see if Y&G will grow on me like so many other releases of this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although i really enjoy the first half of the album, i can't really remember any of the songs on Green; nothing really sticks out to me. The Yellow side is quite good, though.
