Pre-Order Thread

yeah they have too many interesting looking ones. I actually forgot which one I got, it was this one.

I think they're at a point of diminishing returns with all the variants. Like keep it simple. Do a cool splatter for the extremely limited one /500, maybe a solid color or half/half for the less limited /1000 and then a solid color for the indie exclusive /2000 or something. That's all you need.

When they do countless runs and you see a new pressing months later even cooler than one you already have.... it gets annoying as a fan who isn't a variant collector and would maybe have wanted a different version.
I got the same one (just shipped yesterday woo!). I mean it’s cool there’s so many options and being late to the party doesn’t preclude you from getting something fun and weird, it’s just like... wow that is a LOT of variants.
 
they, well specifically Relapse Records, love doing that. Here's their first album for example. Since I have all their albums I know to just pick a variant that looks cool and just be fine with it.

At least those are spread out over a few years, their new one must have about 15 variants straight out the gate.

Edit:

17 and counting - I like how they did a 2nd press before the first was even released :LOL:

This is too much choice. Like when you go into a diner with a massive menu and have no idea what you want. Like.... this is just too much. This one is cool, but also this one, why is this one 500, but this one 3500 when it's more or less just as interesting of a variant....

Absolutely. It's a nightmare if you are the collecting type. I confess I bought one deluxe and one special, the uk one and this one NOTHING "The Great Dismal" LP
