thebiglebowski Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 To be honest, I wish TK would have just taken the high road and not tried to one-up Victory with this whole acoustic version on the same day thing. What is the saying -- "living well is the best revenge"? Not stooping to their level with these games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthemforadoomed Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I think Victory doesn't want the acoustic versions to come out before the SM version, and especially to be out there floating around for free. Greedy bastards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greedy bastards. Be honest -- Victory sucks and there is a "fuck em, let's fight fire with fire" attitude to this. But if it wasn't Victory, would this be acceptable? No way. So you can blame them for starting it but I can't really blame them for responding when Thomas does this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Victory started it, Thomas responded, now they are trying to one up him. Just saying, I wish he would have taken the high road on it for the benefit of the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billya Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 There's a right way and a wrong way to do things. Tom Kalnoky does not do things the right way. I am a huge fan of his, but being a fan of his is harder on me than being a Brand New fan. He signed a contract. It was a bad contract, but he signed it. He won't beat them by acting like a clown.

I think he would argue "they broke the contract, not me" (things like not paying royalties) but yeah, I'm with you in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P1ZZAPARTY Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Does anyone know if the vinyl is coming out on the official release day? Back when preorders first went up it was stated that the vinyl would be months behind the digital/CD copies. Is this still true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthemforadoomed Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Victory wrote on their twitter April 4th they were listening to the test press for TTHT. I'm not sure how long it would take them to press package and ship 2000 copies, but I don't really see why it wouldn't come out on time with the CD release. They have had this much extra time for gods sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthemforadoomed Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Aaa and streetlight's website is down and so is pentimento's. UGH Really? They work for me. I just tried when I read this. http://streetlightmanifesto.com/ http://pentimentomusic.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P1ZZAPARTY Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I'm still concerned about the vinyl shipping on or around release day. This is a quote from the preorder page on Streetlight's website: "You will be charged when you order the merchandise, but the actual vinyl orders will ship when they have been manufactured (which will be months after the actual release date of April 30th.)" I guess I'll email them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P1ZZAPARTY Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Well, Dave from the RISC store emailed me back today. "The album is being released the 30th - but the vinyl takes months to manufacture. We are still unsure when we will be able to ship vinyl." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthemforadoomed Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Aww boo that's too bad. With all this extra time you would think Victory would do something right. Alas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gutzonborglum Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Victory's site now lists the vinyl release date as May 20th. I'm beginning to suspect this is all a ruse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthemforadoomed Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 You can't trust anything they say. They said 99SOR was coming out in October 2008. It came out in March 2010. The band hadn't even recorded it yet when Victory gave that release date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tittus Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Guys this album is really, really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P1ZZAPARTY Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I've already spent around $40 (EDIT: $50! damn I'm dumb!) on this album between buying both versions on vinyl. I'll just download it on release day since RISC already has my cash. Can't fucking wait... it's been too long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FangsAnalSatan Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I love how I purchased the 'mega bundle' and vinyl releases when they were announced, and since then my interest in Streetlight (which I've had since the release of Everything Goes Numb) has slowly dwindled. I really hope this album knocks my socks off, so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthemforadoomed Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 So uh, yeah guys. This album is unfucking real. It's so fucking good. rudeboydh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudeboydh Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 So uh, yeah guys. This album is unfucking real. It's so fucking good. Yeah, I agree. I was skeptical after their last one, which I didn't care for. I may end up ordering this when they finally get pressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevorm Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Another delay? I thought the 30th was the release date for all mediums. Fucking unreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthemforadoomed Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 They also had the Toh Kay version of the album pulled from Amazon. Any guesses on what's next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gutzonborglum Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 From TohKay's twitter: @reddit hello, keepers of the internets! Any interest in setting up an AMA? We have quite a story to tell, if you're interested... I would definitely want to see this happen. anthemforadoomed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
