Pre-Order Thread

This album is awesome. Thanks for the post. I won't be up at 3AM EST, that's for sure, but I'll hope to grab one if there are some left when I do get up tomorrow. This is 94 minutes long, think it will be 3LP?

EDIT: Making my way through this, and weird connections, the track Fade Out has serious Motion Picture Soundtrack vibes, and then Never Knows has a similar progression to Oasis's Rock 'n' Roll Star. To be clear, the songs sounds nothing like those tracks, but the progressions are inlaid. Having grown up on 90s Brit alternative, this is throwing me for a loop.
Listening to this now, I thought the same thing about “Fade Out,” although initially thinking that it was a cover of Radiohead’s “Street Spirit (Fade Out)” until I realized I had the wrong Radiohead song in mind
 
I never gave their third album much of a listen back in the day. It reminds me of the first Hed p.e. album which was actually pretty good back then.

Am I just wearing nostalgia goggles right now? Lol

i grabbed a copy this morning, nostalgia and fomo I guess. I loved pretend I’m human back in the day. Saw them open for sevendust and machine head
 
God dammit. Only 40 minutes after you posted and they're gone. Valtari is a seriously underrated Sigur Ros album.

Looks like this record goes for $50 on discogs for all vinyl versions. Any idea why if it's just standard pressings? I'm contemplating grabbing the black

EDIT: I kept refreshing the page and I got one!!!!!!!!!

I know it's a LONG shot but did anyone manage to grab an extra copy of Valtari? for some inexplicable reason I still don't own it, this variant is gorgeous, and damn it, I woke up too late!
 
What really bugs me besides the high prices is that the records themselves look pretty basic. Thin paper sleeves no tip on jacket which would be really nice there's no updated artwork there's no cool inserts its just really really basic. And this is probably my fault for not noticing it but I don't see anywhere that says the records are remastered from analog sources or anything Hi-Tech like that which is what I am excited about whenever the new Hum reissues come out later this year and I was planning on spending probably $100 for those records because I know what I'm getting is very high quality and a lot of work is going into the making of them.
Speaking of Hum reissues, Downward is Heavenward coming mid/late-June
And yes, they do it the right way, high quality at a reasonable price
