Two of the four VMP 10's are in swaps (Charles Bradley and Japandroids). I'll probably swap for Bradley. No Monk VMP10 in swaps, they really want you to drop $43 on that lol

VMP10s are a good route if you're on an old sub. If you're at new prices, it's probably worth waiting to see if they go on sale, which I'd expect, whenever the next sale is.

It is a great record though. I am ok with this being an Essentials record. I know I am in the minority however.

Pageant Material and Butterfly are better albums overall. It feel like Same Trailer… is a really good album but it’s an album where she is figuring out who she is as an artist. “Follow Your Arrow” and the other singles are quite good but the album as a decent amount of filler too. She took the parts of her debut album that worked and expanded upon it in a way that made her subsequent albums more successful.

I have the UO “Confetti Clear” (that is missing confetti) variant a few years back for around $10. I wouldn’t pay $40 for this album though.

Someone commented that the quality of RHH store drops is exceeding the quality of the ROTM and in some instances I feel that's very much true.

This one would've made a good ROTM, although you can still find it for cheaper.

I grabbed it as an accideal off of Amazon for $10 last year. I listened to it once and then sold it though. It’s a fine album but it’s not something that was gonna find it’s way to my turntable enough justify the space it’d take up on my shelf. I wouldn’t mind picking it up on cassette tape for like $2 as some point though.

Yeah, I need to sell as well. It was fun but not fun enough to keep around.

As someone who still has my accideal copy of this sitting sealed in the Amazon box, I too need to sell/pass along.

When this month’s picks were announced I was considering all four, cut forward to the price rises and I’m getting none. The bloom is certainly off the rose now, for many (soon to be former) members.

I was in for Earl and maybe a swap or two....but it's been two months since i cancelled and just received what may be my last store purchase yesterday.

I'll keep an eye on next quarter's picks but it's going to take a stellar pick to get me back, and even then it's not going to be the multiple track orders I usually got.

To be fair though, I've slowed down significantly even on non-VMP purchases. I'm really taking the time to decide whether it's worth ~$50CAD for me, and most of the time it's a no. Tons of stuff just abandoned in my cart.

With the price increase I need look at the RoTM and say, if I were in a store and saw this would I buy it no questions asked? If it's anything but an instant yes I doubt I'm going to bother! Honestly, I stay mainly for the Hip Hop track as I find most Rap records in Canada tend to be pricy already and they seem to pull off what look like real exclusives here and there!
