somber_silt Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 he replied on IG about it when a few of us asked. basically the pressing was rushed to meet deadlines. what a poor excuse...that makes it even more unprofessional and reminds me of the answer Chris gave me when I complained about my The Wonder Years Suburbia LP being warped...it really sounds like "let's release that B&C LP anyway. we do another pressing later and you guys can give us even more $$$"...

Normally not a huge fan of that color but it goes so well with all the art. I would almost be tempted to pick up one of those if I could get it to the US for a decent price.

parkinglot Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I'll dump my haze at cost to someone who really wants it. It cost me $28 to get it to canada so keep that in mind. So I guess it's not that great of a deal. But pm me if you're interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mnolan15 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Anyone going to be at the Dallas show tonight? I was there and it was epic. Got my tour variant and loved all the bands. Cruel Hand was sick (Never heard them before). I will say I couldn't believe how many stage divers there were. I was like the same 15 people going over and over and over with no pit. Also, the stage diving success was like 1 out of every 10 with the other 9 being people slamming to the ground. Still an amazing show of course!

tas4 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 The pit for Cruel Hand in Jacksonville was fucking bananas, I'll tell you that much. Yeah it was. A lot less stage diving at the Jacksonville show because the stage was so small. Dont know why they didnt use the big stage in the back room?

castaway Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Cruel Hand rules. They're the icing on the cake on this tour for me. Will walk on heads for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnolan15 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 i would hope there was no pit at a b&c show. No pit really just stage diving. I've never been a big fan of the Dallas fans here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadDonut Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I'm not into HC at all (just never took the time to get into it) but Cruel Hand were really incredible! I got there early with my buddy so we could grab the tour variant and ended up being the first into the venue so we just went and stood at the front of the stage. I'm 24 and I don't ever do that anymore but I thought what the heck it's Balance and Composure! That ended up being a bad idea once CH started to play. After them I thought it would be better but it was actually worse for B&C. I should have just chilled in the back because the sound quality in the front was atrocious and they honestly weren't that great for me. I've always hated the Dallas crowds too because everyone is pretty unapologetic about moshing and stage diving. I JUST WANT TO ENJOY GOOD MUSIC! Other than that it was alright and btw Slingshot Dakota was really good! In the end I was just happy to get the tour variant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just too old and annoyed by the people to enjoy about of 16-18 year olds jumping on my face all day. That's why I was in the back hahah I loved it. I was very surprised by Slingshot Dakota as well. I didn't think I was going to get it but I got one too. Tour variant is such an awesome color scheme.

rcafilm Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Saw that earlier... pretty fascinating. Beautifully shot. The shots of the band by their van do seem a little lazy, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alogical Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Fuck man. This song/album is so perfect for fall. That video just seals the deal. October is such a great time to see them. Can't wait to drive to the show with the windows down, get there and go nuts yo. Mnolan15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedlee Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I don't know if they're still selling only 15 per tour date or if it was an exception bc this was a record release show or if they have another variant with them but loads of people had a copy when the show was over.

koljou Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I'm sure they have another color with them because when I asked for the tour press he grabbed a separate box than he'd been getting records from for people in front of me. Guess you have to specifically ask and not everyone did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koljou Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Also, their ending of the set tonight with Notice Me was phenomenal. It's my favorite song on the album and they put so much energy into it live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I have the haze, and wanted the tour variant. but if they both sound bad I want neither. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biodigitaljazz Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 The "Reflection" vid is great. I wouldn't hold your breath for a repress guys... I don't thinik it would financially benefit them, honestly. I love B&C. I have a couple copies of Separation, the Braid split, and TTWTWM, all of them on vinyl. But if I already bought TTWTWM and it's listenable *mine is* I'm not gonna wanna drop $20 more on another copy that sounds slightly better. If not for the surface noise, mine's sounds great (/750 opaque red). I feel like others are in the same boat, that wouldn't spend the money for another copy. I could be wrong though.
