I'm not saying this is how he did it, for all I know he could be the Rain Man of album guessing, but you could technically just wait until the last set of clues and fire them off and still have a chance of winning if nobody has guessed them all yet. Up until less than a week ago nobody had more than 8/12 right. I think that Young MC album had people thrown for a loop because who would've guessed they'd unleash that hell upon us.
Yeah mine sounds great. Not familiar with their discography but I’m enjoying this record.The Meters GZ press sounds pretty damn good! Solid pick.

Since I already knew several titles were a lock, I actually filled out most of the form ahead of time and had strong suspicions about several others, so that when the final hints drop I would be able to quickly fill in the blanks.
The only one that threw me for a loop was February Classics where I thought both Chic and Sylvester were disqualified with the clue "correction." @mitchwagz and @keylime_5 quickly pointed out how Sylvester did still fit so I went and decided to shoot my shot.
I still thought my two minutes of hesitation was enough for someone else to swoop in with the correct guesses, so I'm as surprised as everyone else that I ended up being the first.
Damn….that’s like 3 warped records
the Pallas pressing seems to be coming back into stock at places now. I'll grab that one instead. Got a restock notice here and the UPC matches the Pallas one:Tempted to sign up for Sigur Ros but maybe I’ll wait for reports first.
Correct. That’s the best price I’ve seen it for too, definitely going for itthe Pallas pressing seems to be coming back into stock at places now. I'll grab that one instead. Got a restock notice here and the UPC matches the Pallas one:
@tonythegamer were you looking for this one too?
I picked it up as well. Shipping was a little steep but it was UPS instead of media mail. I think 2 albums were $9 shipped UPS. Already got a shipping notice though. It should be the pallas pressing unless they repressed it elsewhere recently with the same UPC.Correct. That’s the best price I’ve seen it for too, definitely going for it
FairPlay ..I didn’t guess one correctly

"Grimes not only made the art print but also wrote an intimate track by track breakdown for our editions listening notes booklet" -
Still not sure this makes it "Essential" to me.
I’ve always been happy with my plain black copy of Visions, so I have no interest in the VMP version. That said I agree this is an essential album, easily a top 5 album of the 2010s for me. Fantastic.There will be PIF thread offerings, I'm sure of it.
Speaking of, I am interested in a Visions RotM depending on how it turns out; it is my #10 all-time. Unsure how VMP can improve on the already solid Optimal-pressed copy.
Ok most of that is cool but why Bush? Everyone agreed that sucked even then (it was the album that beat Pinkerton for worst of the year)Turned that VMP money into Beatles Let it Be, NIN With Teeth, Pretty Hate Machine, The Roots Things Fall Apart, Sun Ra Omniverse, Bush Razorblade Suitcase and probably have a ton of money left over factoring in add ons. It's a new day.
Who's everyone? I played the hell out of those first 2 Bush albums back then. Greedy Fly is a banger.Ok most of that is cool but why Bush? Everyone agreed that sucked even then (it was the album that beat Pinkerton for worst of the year)
Why yuck their yum?Ok most of that is cool but why Bush? Everyone agreed that sucked even then (it was the album that beat Pinkerton for worst of the year)
Nah. It's a great album. Same as Pinkerton.Ok most of that is cool but why Bush? Everyone agreed that sucked even then (it was the album that beat Pinkerton for worst of the year)
Coincidently, I woke up one day the other week with the song "Swallowed" running through my head. I don't think I've heard it in 25 years, but there it was.Nah. It's a great album. Same as Pinkerton.
