drummerboy032 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 It says the white is preorder... So does that include preorder on amazon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brevity38 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 It says the white is preorder... So does that include preorder on amazon? On Amazon it says "This title will be released on August 20, 2013" So no idea if these will be white or not because the record is being released on the 13th and the preorders on Hopeless' website are supposed to start shipping out tomorrow. They probably just have the date wrong on Amazon but it's a little confusing, they should specify in the description what color it is. Seriously can't wait to hear this record though.

RowBearToe Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I don't think it's the wrong date, I pre-ordered through best buy and just got an update saying the release date was now 8/20. I'm guessing maybe hopeless is going to ship it to the distributors the same time they ship to anyone who preordered from their site? I honestly don't know haha Brevity38 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon copies are always retail copies. Brevity38 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChardeeMacDennis Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Maybe they pressed all white? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketcat Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 1- Has anyone who pre-ordered through Hopeless received shipping conf yet? 2- Is August 20th the new release date? 3- Is there a possibility the Amazon pre-orders are also on White? (I just pre-ordered there ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@@ron Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I was glad I didn't preorder after hearing it. To me it sounded pretty lifeless. Still love the original though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewfro Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Vinyl is delayed that's probably why the date changed to the 20th "We would like to thank you for your purchase of the Yellowcard Ocean Avenue Acoustic Presale! These items were originally scheduled to be shipped Tuesday, but unfortunately we have not received the White Vinyl LP from the manufacturer yet. We have been in contact with them, and were told to expect them later today! Once these items arrive to our facilities all orders will be immediately shipped and you will receive tracking via email! If you have any questions, or need to update your address/information on the order. Please email us at [email protected] with your order number & information regarding the changes you need made."

rocketcat Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Wait, so that means the amazon pre-order ones are also on white vinyl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verb1999 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Wait, so that means the amazon pre-order ones are also on white vinyl? It seems as though the only way we're going to get this answer is when one of you who have ordered from there receives it & reports back. One question I had, is on their website, the white variant is advertised as "pre-order only". This can't be true, can it? Cause how would that work, wait until the release day, and then press however many were pre-ordered? If they're pressed ahead of time, but selling them only in the pre-order, what would they do with all the rest that didn't sell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know right, that's why I'm thinking maybe they really are all white, at least until they run out of whatever massive quantity they pressed and then start selling a regular black variant.

Brevity38 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I guess the vinyl isn't delayed? The band posted this on their Facebook page on Friday: "OCEAN AVENUE ACOUSTIC VINYL NOT DELAYED!If you got a message about your vinyl pre order being delayed today, fear not, my friends. There was a small mix up but the records will ship on schedule. Enjoy." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokimedo Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 cancelled this on amazon today. as much as i love this record, this acoustic version was a bit of a let down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhitmuzik Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 cancelled this on amazon today. as much as i love this record, this acoustic version was a bit of a let down. I feel ya, bro. Actually didnt have it even preordered because I don't trust hopeless after the TWY fiasco, but it didnt give me too much reason to actually do so.

verb1999 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I have yet to spin this, but I can't believe it's that big of a let down after I very much enjoyed the acoustic When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes album? I guess I'll have to check back in later on... Any word from anyone else on the Amazon pre-order? Is everyone's copies white?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketcat Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 This is not a let down, people are crazy. Songs are amazing, better than I expected actually and I'm not even a big fan of acoustic albums. I pre-ordered the Amazon vinyl but I haven't received it yet (August 20th?). Amazon did send me an email with the AutoRip mp3s of the album tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brevity38 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 ^ I agree! I don't really understand how it's a let down. What were people expecting from an acoustic album? Haha. They kept it simple and didn't change what make the songs great. In my opinion the record turned out amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyh85 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 The arrangements haven't been changed at all to suit an acoustic record. All they seem to have done is re-recorded with an acoustic guitar, which gets drowned out by everything. It's really no where near as good as the "When you're through thinking say yes" acoustic tracks. In fact, it's really boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc32137 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Was I right about the egg shakers? I haven't listened to it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verb1999 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I listened through the first 11 tracks or so tonight, and really enjoyed it. Was thinking to myself What were people expecting from an acoustic album? But, to each his own. Sometimes people talk something up SO much that it's almost a let down regardless of what it is, maybe this had the opposite effect after reading a couple disgruntled reviews on here & I think iTunes had a couple as well. I like it so much I hate the original now. Just kidding, but I think they did a great job. Hopefully I can find the means to make it out of state to catch the tour, though I'm still indifferent about a majority acoustic set...

Brevity38 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Yeah, obviously people are always going to have their own opinions which is fine. I just feel like they deserve a lot more credit cause they did a fantastic job. Lots of good memories with these songs. I had to choose between buying a ticket for Yellowcard's tour or The Story So Far, Such Gold etc. It was a tough decision but I ended up choosing tssf. I wish I could make both shows!
