nofuneral Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 I would definitely grab another copy of Straylight Run if I knew it came with a real insert this time around. The CD booklet was such a lazy touch on the RSD release. the RSD one came with a CD booklet instead of an LP sized insert? This one probably will too then.

drewberinger Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Would like to see a Victory thread without the bleeding heart stuff. Welcome to the music industry. Everything is unregulated and shady business practices are employed by labels everywhere. If you like this album, then buy it. well that's just not true but okay. I feel much better giving my money to labels like Deathwish, Topshelf, Tiny Engines, No Sleep, Equal Vision, Hopeless etc a lot a lot a lot more than Tony Brummell and his thuggery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally syked these are shipping already on a brighter note! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's better to support those who go about business in an honest way and the labels you mentioned are awesome examples. All I'm saying is victory bashing was overcooked like 6 years ago. We know tony is an asshole and neyo in front of hawthorne heights or whatever.. You work at a place that stocks victory releases. Does it really irk you that much?

David Loyd Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Just picked up Wake the Dead. Thank you Ethanxfoley! Ive Been trying to snag this for a while now. $18 is definitely better than the $70 to $150 I've seen them going for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Loyd Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Are those Comeback Kid 1st presses going for a lot? Yes. All presses are actually. Didn't they repress these just a couple years ago? Were they out of press? Last press was in 2010 for wake the dead as far as I know. Sold out pretty fast.

Welp, kudos to you for the self control. Personally, I can't keep myself from buying albums from Victory. I need this stuff on vinyl so, so bad. Now that they repressed Wake the Dead I only really want Silverstein's first album from the Victory catalogue. Needs to happen sooner than later. mcguirk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nofuneral Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 i personally have never had a problem with victory. i love their bands, and theyve always done good by me. the old tv show victorV was a great marketing tool that fans loved. (speaking for myself of course.) the free dvds in almost every CD from 2003-2009 were cool as fuck. I know they have awful business practice, and i will never buy things that i know bands are getting dicked over on 100% like the streetlight records, but if its a record i really want i have no problem throwing victory some money. their pressings are good quality and they have cheap shipping to canada which makes it even easier to forgive them and buy their records. on the subject, this is an interesting read. for all 2 of you who dont know the story of Tony. http://masochistian.blogspot.ca/2009/07/fuck-your-life-vol-1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnywreck Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I think it's funny to get all bent out of shape over a label's politics. Why ignore music you like because the person that made it possible is a self-entitled assclown? That's like not enjoying light because god created it.

jewfro Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Awesome that they finally repressed Wake the Dead. I picked up a green copy on ebay in 2011 for like 18 bucks ppd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBarry Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I wouldn't ignore the OLD victory bands I love like hatebreed, CBK, In Cold Blood, etc. but to complain because people complain about victory every time a victory related thread is started is just as ridiculous. It's always always always going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowBearToe Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Thanks for this! Picked up the Straylight Run S/T. Existentialism on Prom Night is a major nostalgia trip. mcguirk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agreetodisagree Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 It's going to be pressed sooner or later. You think? I heard rumors(on here I believe) of some Silverstein/Victory feud getting in the way of this repress. No idea how true or untrue that is. It is definitely strange how overdue that one is seeing as how Victory just cycles through the catalog over and over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea how true or untrue that is. It is definitely strange how overdue that one is seeing as how Victory just cycles through the catalog over and over. I have to believe that it would be a goldmine. Silverstein is so overdue for a box set. Maybe when/if another album is released on Victory? Also, that was their best album, with Shipwreck in the Sand close after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out Of Time Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 On a whim, I just ordered Wake The Dead and Symptoms + Cures because I have been waiting for a repress for almost as long as I have collected vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantheriver Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Hot topic color is translucent orange. Looks pretty good with the cover. Record sounds ok, pretty typical victory quality...not what anyone is really looking for but will have to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
