We give VMP crap about their prices...but honestly,
$26 for an 8 song album is the same ballpark.

...unless it’s 8 8 minute songs.

Maybe this belongs in Hot Takes.

Avett’s are definitely overpriced. I actually only buy their stuff if I find a deal now. Which is easier considering the fact that I haven’t liked the last two albums very much.

No you are absolutely right. All of their releases are expensive now. I've complained about them before but like a sucker I'm back in everytime. Part of the reason is all of their LP's are two discs which would make you think high quality, which is also not the case.

I will say I've not bought several other artists who have done this recently.

And it can't all be blamed on the record companies either.

Sadly, it seems that everybody is doing this kind of pricing now. I think it's a mix of records being more expensive to produce and also just people more willing to pay it. When I first started buying records, the though of paying $30 shipped for a 1LP was laughable to me. Nowadays, I don't blink twice if it's an album I really want...

I give VMP crap for the pricing because A) their single LPs are $34 and doubles are $40 in the shop and B) their variants of albums are almost always more expensive (even including shipping) than other shops while also being less limited.

I've been the same with the last couple because they usually end up on sale. The first single for the gleam 3 sounds like they're back in their roots though
