Pre-Order Thread

Wasn't there also a fuckup with High Top Mountain where they originally pressed it on standard weight instead of 180g and then sent everyone replacements?
See this is less of a deal to me. Meh, shit isn’t 180. Meh. Shit is a completely different thing than I ordered, FIX IT.

Also the Society pick for June (on a less cool “pink glass” colorway).
 
How do people feel about new Billie Eilish?
No singles, no song titles. Said she wants to put it all out at once.

"For her forthcoming album, Billie EIlish will be releasing a limit of 8 variants of vinyl through her website as well as all major retailers including Target, Amazon, and Walmart; each on the same day, containing the same track-listing across the board and all produced with the most sustainable practices available. The standard black variant is made from 100% recycled black vinyl. The remaining 7 colored vinyl will be made from ECO-MIX or BioVinyl."

So only 8 variants.

I’m fine with her overall but like what the fuck?

Reminds me a bit of when Lorde went on about sustainability and then put out a deluxe version with a massive glossy poster and eight billion add ins and a bonus disk and then a bonus EP after that. I believe her intent entirely but honestly, vinyl in itself isn't very sustainable compared to other methods outside of the most fervent spinners. I feel like Jack Johnson is one of the small handful who does records and actively works towards sustainability on these fronts with single variant / no plastic wrap / limited print run approaches and even that's imperfect.

We're definitely seeing this more with artists who can afford to do it. Beyonce has did two singles and titles as one drop, Taylor just has song titles. I suspect artists and their teams are valuing the "big drop" promo bombs more than the little bumps from singles. I think it makes sense, though to be honest, it does ensure I don't pre-order the album. I need something to know the artist didn't just decide to change their entire career's musical direction prior to dropping $30 on an album.
