soundofsulfur Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 Ahh, I did use the site's search as well as google's search to try and find an older 808s thread, but didn't notice that other thread. Doesn't matter though, Ye deserves his own threads anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davepriz Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 i wonder if it will be the same packaging or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agreetodisagree Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Have my doubts about them replicating the original packaging. It's a triple gatefold with spot UV and a CD included Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest crazybeats Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I think all those original pressings will go back to down to reasonable levels on Ebay and Discogs because it's not even an old album and now there will be LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of copies around lol.

dreamover Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I think it's his best but most people think otherwise. it's got a few great pop songs, but i can't say it's his best, though i think graduation is his most consistent pop record.
