gumbercules Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Got my deluxe and indie store exclusive copies today. The deluxe is worth the money alone for the lyric pages/artwork. I'll give it a spin later to see how it sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan8765 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Pics? I'll post some when I get home from work. It says it comes with a "lottery ticket", which includes a download of the album. I want to know what that looks like. Probably shouldn't have any effect on us considering we ordered pretty well before May 20th. Well if you did order a deluxe then I would imagine you will be guarenteed a copy at least. But that doesn't mean there wont be a delay in your order due to whatever the manufacturing issue was.

rtw88 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 The scratch off says that if you get all 9's to call a number which is the Matador mailorder line. I dunno if it's a legit contest or not the scratch of dl code was cool regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoidantroyd Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I always kinda laugh when people refer to Queens as a "band". Queens is Josh, Josh is Queens. That's odd, I didn't think that he wrote every song, especially on Era. It's not like the Trent Reznor/NIN situation where he's the sole creator. Maybe I'm wrong.

mcpherson123 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 JUST SHIPPED! Fuck yeah! I might actually get a new release that I'm looking forward to on or BEFORE the release date! My poor brother will have to wait though as his was ordered on May 6th and has not yet shipped. It did go out of stock between my order and his so he might be waiting a good while. Which blows.

drewberinger Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 this album is really good - will have to pick it up now next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seamoney Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I'm just going to pick up the blue cover version on the 4th, but this last week is gonna be brutal. I want this on my turntable so badly. It might be my favorite release of the year so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm wrong. Without Josh no Queens. He collaborates with everyone, doesn't mean Allain Johanes "is" QOTSA. It's more like QOTSA is a musical collective with Josh at the center, writing the songs. What's the difference between QOTSA and the Desert Sessions? Name.

So it sounds like you ordered 6 days after I did and yours shipped first. I wonder how they decide things like that. Well either way, glad yours shipped, I'm sure I'll get mine eventually.

Josh isn't responsible for writing every QOTSA song like TR has with NIN. I'll stick by my own theory. It's a band, though with a revolving lineup, it's a band. And I'm pretty sure he didn't write all of the Desert Session stuff either, but hey, you're the expert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serum7 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Didn't like the stream on first listen, I'll have to give it another couple of run throughs before I really decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just noticed that I got a shipping notification email from Matador so maybe that's something to look out for. Otherwise just keep checking your account on the store website.

nothingnatural Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Got my deluxe and blue cover copy today. This is the most anticipated album for me in years. I'm beyond happy with it.

kannibal Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I'm somewhat scared that Furnace pressed this album. LOL. Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Because they once posted on Facebook a picture diagram showing a rudimentary flow chart for making vinyl records. At the start they showed digital files and a CD being used as the source for the vinyl lacquer cut. When I questioned them about it ("I sure hope you're not sourcing LP's from retail CD's of the same album") they mentioned that the CD was there for to represent the Indie bands who don't have a proper studio master or some BS and when I said "that's fine, but I sure hope you're not doing that with major label artists who could supply a proper studio master because that goes against everything vinyl is about" they never replied and that photo was either deleted and re-uploaded without my comments or my comments were deleted. ....I hate shady practices. I hope they used the real studio master for this LP and not a CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Quik Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Based on what you said happened I think you have your answer to that question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
