You are kidding right? This was discovery last year. Magnolia is really going downhill.

I’m actually mad about this to be honest. There are so many records they could have done exclusives of and they pick this for ROTM. I don’t care if Jimmy Fallon heard it in a hardware store or that Thad Cockrell almost gave up music because this album wasn’t noticed when it came out.

I don’t bitch about the Dualtone stuff... 1. Because I generally like those picks and 2. Because I got here through Vinyl Den, but this is VMP level fucked up.
That would be a great pick if I didn’t preorder it. Still waiting on it from the USPS. It’s a really good album. Do you know if they will let you swap for stuff in the store?

Who knows? They were supposed to swap Courtney Marie Andrews for me but didn’t, so I’m hesitant to do anything outside of the portal. I never swap so I can usually find something. This is very disappointing though.

Why not just do a variant as a variant to sell? I guess discovery is a really tiny portion of their club.
I would be interested in that Liza Anne, Busted Jukebox 3, Matt Kearney, or Judah and The Lion Spirit. The Cereus Bright looks good though.

I put in a swap for Shakey but am seriously debating a skip just because of that RotM choice. A lot of good, new albums and notable back catalog options and they rehash a discovery track choice from the last twelve months? That's just really embarrassing.
As a new member a couple months ago, I had never heard of Thad Cockrell so I looked him up on Spotify and thought I had the wrong album because it was released last year. Nope, it’s the right one. Listened to it and it’s a hard pass. Super disappointing but at least I’ll be able to pick between Manchester Orchestra now that it’s out and I’ll have a chance to listen (swapped last month for Schultz) and Parker Millsap. Hope this ROTM isn’t a trend or I’ll be a very short-lived member. Discovery pick seems decent from what I can tell, though, so that’s a win. Actually, the discovery picks I’ve seen so far are pretty good.

At this point I wish they’d just offer the discovery track as its own thing so I could get those and not have to also buy the main ROTM
Yep. How hard would it have been to have a Chris Thile ROTM?

Swaps leave a lot to be desired this month also.

I swapped for Parker Millsap but really debating cancelling my sub once it's up for renewal.
I think I would have already canceled if it wasn’t for artist discovery.
