No. As the previous reissue seems to have been cut by Don Grossinger from a Bellman digital master, this one, cut by Ryan Smith, could potentially be cut from the same digital master.
Okay cool, and we're assuming GZ is pressing it yes?
No idea, if Storf hasn't answered that question yet on Reddit, I don't think they said.
Yeah, they mention the mastering buried in the “Everything You Need to know” article (as opposed to listing in the details section of the actual release).

That's just the lacquer though, they don't identify the master he's using...Yeah, they mention the mastering buried in the “Everything You Need to know” article (as opposed to listing in the details section of the actual release).

I don't know if this is equivalent to PWR BTTM, who were overtly posturing as allies and safe people while actively preying on young women. Josh Homme is a dick and has made big mistakes, but he's got a complicated history, including calling out bullies and homophobes and stating that they aren't welcome in his audience. PWR BTTM was denying wrong-doing and trying to get names of people who might talk about them, whereas Josh has outright apologized and publicly acknowledged his fault. And finally, PWR BTTM were pretty new as a major draw and VMP was on the front lines of promoting them that year--a pretty different position than finally pressing a classic album people have been clamoring for for years.
It's teeeee, not teefer.
Well, your argument is that this is a good business decision and @Teeeee will probably agree. People fomo hard over this and get 3month memberships just for this release and there is not much backlash in the forum and on reddit. So it will make tgem good money. That's the exact point of the double-standard @Teeeee was referring, too. That they tolerate behaviour for a banf tgat makes them lots of money but not for smaller instances with a more vocal backlash. I cannot weigh in on the accusations at all, because the only song of mr homme i liked so far is his duett with florence on jackson so i dont know too much about his stage antics.
Yeah, if I am reachin’ for a QOTSA album it’s probably gonna be Rated R. if they wanna to do a repress of that in the opaque shade of blue of the album cover as an exclusive I would probably be game. Strangely enough after SOTD drops I will have 2 QOTSA albums and neither will be Rated R. It’s funny how that works out sometimes.
Yeah, it's pretty hypocritical of them to look the other way on stuff when it's convenient for them and then play like they care about these things for other bands. Not just PWR BTTM, but also Nas, who is really popular and thus makes their position make less sense to me. I guess if Illmatic was the number one asked for record from them every month, their position would have been completely different. I guess this just plays into how Fiedler is not for anything that doesn't make him money, thus the old forum where people would point shit like this out had to go.
*all of the applause I can muster*
