Is Stankonia a confirmed upcoming essentials rotm? I was thinking of dishing out for a MOV copy..

My bet would be that October might be a good time for them, as I’ll bet there will be a lot of 3-month plans up for renewal around that time. My bet would also be that VMP’s version won’t sound all that much better than MOV, so unless you’re picky about color...
 
I know this won't be a popular opinion, and it could just be because I'm getting older and my tastes are evolving, but after listening to both albums this week I'm actually disappointed this wasn't GrandMasters. That album really hits for me in a way that Fish just doesn't anymore.

The MOV version is dope. VMP's not going to beat it sound-wise so the only question to ask yourself is what "the other stuff" means to you.

If the MOV doesn’t have a stencil then why even bother??But seriously I was thinking it could end being cheaper to get the VMP version if i *shudder* signed up for a 3 month membership 🤢 Can’t believe I just said that

Well, yes and no. It's like if you go into a shop to buy one thing at $20 and you get hooked by a sale saying "Spend $80 or more and get $20 off". So you put $80 worth of items in your cart and walk out having spent $60. Yes, you're getting more items and at a discount, but you're ultimately spending $40 more than you had planned. But that's how marketing like that works. You've spent more even though you tell yourself you've saved.

Absolutely you'll be spending more than if you just bought the MOV copy. Relatively speaking you'll be saving because you'll get more products and that one item you really wanted at a cheaper rate; but spending more than you originally planned. So it depends how you want to look at it.

I wouldn’t be mad about having Fishscale and Stankonia, but I would have to trust them to deliver a third album I want for it to be worth it to me. I’m on the fence about grabbing Fishscale at the new monthly price.
 
I guess I'll have to listen to my copy of Fishscale see if it needs to be ungraded? I don't remember any issues but it has been a while...

Seriously though its an incredible album and a welcome repress check this out and I personally find some Def Jam vinyl pressings can be very poor. This album deserves better

Are you pointing out the one comment that said there is surface noise? I have that release and my copy is brilliant.

I am getting the VMP version but it's a sick enough of an album to do so. Plus I want the VMP treatment! Oh, god, I'm infected...what have you done @NathanRicaud! <Baby monster comes out of me like a chestburster from Alien, speaking in indecipherable screams but clearly with an Aussie accent> :alien::alien:👾👾💩
