contiinstereo Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Saw them tonight in Buffalo, pick up their first 3 records. Were these tour exclusives? Was checking my phone to see if I could buy else where so I didn't have to drop $60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mibabalou Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 If anyone can grab me simple math at the NYC or Philly or really any date it would mean a lot to me! Plus I can throw you some money or see if I have anything you want to do a trade!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawhizz Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Got the box yesterday. #69 (like yer mom). Nitpicky criticism - no identification on the side of the box. Maybe they expect this to be prominently displayed in most collections, but pretty much every other box I have like this has the name of the album and artist on the side of the box so you can see it when its filed in the collection. I doubt I'll forget what it is, but it would have been nice to include, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 This box and the 7s are damn well designed. My issue is that two listens in I'm not really digging an album I thought I'd love. Listen #3 is on now. I feel like I've heard it all before or something. Hoping something clicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen #3 is on now. I feel like I've heard it all before or something. Hoping something clicks. The album's very samey to me - not a lot of sound variation. I wonder if Andy's other groups are diluting (or compartmentalizing) MO in a way. RAGC is his acoustic project. Bad Books is his pop project. MO is his rock project, whereas on I'm like a Virgin and Mean Everything, those albums had all those kinds of songs on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Delonge's UFO Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 This box and the 7s are damn well designed. My issue is that two listens in I'm not really digging an album I thought I'd love. Listen #3 is on now. I feel like I've heard it all before or something. Hoping something clicks. This definitely took a few listens for me to start wading through the sameness. After I got over it, I realized that this will probably be in my top ten for the year. I haven't been a huge MO fan in the past either.

hhssoccer88 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Hey everyone! To those who have received their deluxe vinyl set, did you get it via UPS, FedEx, or regular US Mail? Thanks y'all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khaotix Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Seeing them in Boston on Friday. Very excited. Need Simple Math and COPE to complete the discography (full lengths anyway). Kinda wish I got a box set though! Looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kforkevin777 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 This box and the 7s are damn well designed. My issue is that two listens in I'm not really digging an album I thought I'd love. Listen #3 is on now. I feel like I've heard it all before or something. Hoping something clicks. This album took me a few listens to really get what they were trying to do. It also helped seeing them live and hearing Andy talk about it in interviews and stuff. The album is fairly same-y, but I think that's somewhat what they were going for, just an album that kicks you in the teeth from start to finish. He said that every one of their albums is very different, and that he wanted this album to be the one that sorta showed what they could do as far as making just a really loud rock record, and that the next album will likely be very different. But if you decide you don't like it, I'd be happy to buy that patch off your hands for my Whiskey Crew vest. I haven't gotten mine yet. Don't think I made it in the first 100. As far as his other projects having a negative effect on MO, I don't think that's it. I think Bad Books may have played a roll this time around, but as a whole, I think Andy will still write whatever he thinks will fit the album he's wanting to make. RAGC and (I think) Bad Books were alive and well when Simple Math came out, but it was acoustic and poppy songs on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossdj26 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I miss the energy of METN but think Cope's actual music is fantastic start to finish. Definitely a focus on a certain "sound" throughout the album. The guitar/bass combo is heavy in your face but at the same has a little of the grooviness QOTSA is famous for. The self-titled track is actually one of my favorite songs out of their discography. Simple math on the other hand...just couldn't get into it.

Interestingly they name checked QOTSA in an interview and an inspiration for the album. I can see how Simple Math is a grower but I love it. I just cant listen to it often because its just so emotionally brutal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zacaroo21 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I'll toss this out once again - if anyone isn't digging their patch I'd love to snag one. PM if you'd be down for some sort of swap be it cash or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saint Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Kind of a weird question. I'm going to the Boston show tomorrow. Does anyone know if they accept Paypal at their merch table? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if they accept Paypal at their merch table?Not sure about MO, but I know Kevin did. So there's a good chance MO does too. EDIT: He accepted credit cards, not sure about PP. My bad. Also, fuck that guy. He doesn't even know what number it is. I hope someone buys it and it doesn't end up having the patch and he gets fucked. Thought I really hope no one is dumb enough to pay like almost 8x the original price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kforkevin777 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I'm throwing my hat in the ring for one of the patches, too. Either way, I'll hopefully have this in tomorrow or Saturday. I've been expecting it since everyone started getting theirs in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zacooper Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Got my box in and am so stoked I grabbed this. It is awesome. Got my patch and all. #16 here. A little bummed I didn't get anything extra with mine though. The delay was a definite bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docdasuess Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 What are peoples opinion on the Simple Math tour vinyl? Will it be available online after the tour? Would kill to get my hands on a copy.. Couldn't go to the Buffalo show on account of studying for the CFA exam but it seems like it should be available soon, but correct me if I am wrong.
