There was no illustration that this would be so limited and difficult to come by in brick and mortar. Really? None? Not like... 13 years and dozens of thread pages of illustration?

How exactly do the interval from the last album release and the dozens of thread pages of you trolling people who like Tool make any prophecy or guaranteed informative statement about the literal quantitative limitation of the physical product inside physical stores? Please effectively make this case for me. There has never been a scarceness of a brand new Tool CD inside stores on release date until this one right here. I foolishly banked on that. jeromium 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand why you would be frustrated based on past great experiences. It was really cool being able to go to a store and grab a cd or lp from a wall with dozens of copies, waiting in line to buy with other eager fans, dying to dive into and discover the new album by one of your favorite bands. Unfortunately, we don’t get that opportunity much anymore. The only thing we can do is make sure we work whatever system is in place to ensure we get what we want. Most of the time these days it means preordering. Sucks you had to learn it the hard way on this one. Hopefully you find a copy. Rumors are flying about a second press or a standard CD. mcpherson123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for having at least the basic mental prowess and ability to actually engage in discourse. People of your caliber are becoming increasingly scarce (just like the FI deluxe CD) these days. I understand that physical music can become difficult to come by but I've never had a problem when it comes to an artist of Tool's level of notoriety. Up until this release, the only issues I've had getting my hands on physical music have been because a band was too obscure to be in the mainstream markets like Target or other places that have picked up vinyl recently or the vinyl production was backed up in the plants because of The (fucking) Beatles circa 2012-2013. I'm sure it didn't help matters that this package was so much more expensive than normal CD releases but a lot of comparably priced box sets have been incredibly plentiful from artists of similar note and in the not so distant past. I expect it to be difficult to get the vinyl of most of the artists I like even if the titles are in print when it comes to major retail outlets but I honestly believed I was going to be okay with this one. Lesson learned. I don't mean to harp on it but thank you for being understanding when most of the other replies have simply been sad cunts cunting sadly at me.

I appreciate the effort but is it really so difficult to live with me having a conversation specifically with other people? I didn't tag or quote anyone who wasn't involved. The person I replied to was talking about what I was talking about. I replied in kind about the topic. Its that simple. I really don't get what is wrong with conversation and why people can't just ignore the parts they don't care for. No offense. I just don't get why you would get involved if you don't like the discussion. 5 minutes ago, rooks said: insufferable Why torture yourself? Block me, bro. I never was talking to you at all. Don't butt in and don't address me if you don't like the discussions I have with other members.

My sadomasochistic tendencies are mine own to indulge as heartily as one might. Perchance you may recompense my barbed exchanges with additional interminable and wearisome diatribes about the readily available nature of compact discs in the current age. I implore you, as I am exquisitely approaching the climactic finale to this nearly unbearable crescendo of Sesquipedalian speeches.

BTdubs: I didn't need to look up "Sesquipedalian." I've known it's meaning since about 2003 when it was first sent to me in the dictionary.com Word of The Day mailing list.

rooks Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Unnnnggghhh, I'm so close. Now, tell me about how you only listen to sub-180 gram black vinyl. holyvacantsholyhell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I went to my local just now and all I had to do was show them I didn't have my head up my ass to get a copy. Definitely sounds better in my car CD player than what I was listening to on Spotify. Here's a download code if anyone wants it. ditc586, faaip de oiad and holyvacantsholyhell 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good sir! For I would never do such a thing. That information has already been relayed via my signature diatribe that makes trolls cry. And if we're being fair about it, just because I like it sub-180 doesn't mean I can always find the title I seek on a vinyl pressing that necessarily IS sub-180 so unfortunately for me, I still end up listening to LP's that are 180 or above. Some are even colored because the title never got pressed on black or the black edition was too hard to find... but here I go... repeating shit from my signature just like you sought. You got me, sir. I should have seen it coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
