Rageaholic Monkey posted:I wanted to get a medium logo zip-up hoodie because my small was too small, but they were sold out of that size for months, and I went to check again and now the online store just says this: Glad I went a size up on the hoodie(I like 'em loose and cozy because I only wear them in the winter when I'm lounging around). I wonder what the problem is. I knew I wouldn't get the hoodie until the vinyl shipped because they said they would ship when everything was available. I hope that means they set it aside but who knows now that it's been so long.

I mean, lol at Trent trying to blame any of this poo poo on Firebrand. If they had given Firebrand the products, Firebrand would have fulfilled the orders. NIN went ahead and racked up probably hundreds of thousands of dollars back in December, and then have been dragging rear end to get the loving albums manufactured. It does not take 8 loving months to press a 12".

Any opinions on initial listens aren't entirely valid. It's when you comer back a month or three later that his good stuff truly reveals itself to you.

chime_on posted:I mean, lol at Trent trying to blame any of this poo poo on Firebrand. Depending where he's pressing and the plant's backlog, any audio delays could add up to a month or so. If there have been issues that have cropped up on that and art (when most pressing plants handle both) they'd stack up, and plants can't just defer their entire business for stuff ups that aren't their own, and from what Trent says it's been issues with the source files, not bad test presses or anything so yeah, it really easily could add up. Add into that the fact that the people involved to help fix those things aren't necessarily going to be just Trent himself and may have other work on hand, deadlines can slip by real fast.

Isn't he just calling all of the new reissues "definitive"? I guess they are newly remastered too, but I don't think he's promising any massive differences.

chime_on posted:I mean, lol at Trent trying to blame any of this poo poo on Firebrand. I thought it was strange that the Deviations release was billed as a "one time only, once they're gone they're gone" release and that they either 1) hadn't sold out of them by the time June rolled around or 2) hadn't pressed anything yet and were still taking orders to get to a target number. I ordered mine the day they were announced figuring it would be sold out within hours. If there is a problem that goes all the way back to the source audio, it wouldn't necessarily be detected until listening to a test pressing (after all, the people cutting your record don't know what it's "supposed" to sound like). So you have to recut the lacquers (1-2 weeks depending on who does it), have the stampers electroplated (up to four weeks from receiving the lacquers), and then have the plant press up some tests (anyone's guess depending on how busy the plant is, as someone mentioned). Multiply it by 4 for a 4xLP release and it gets ugly, especially if the problem is not with any one of those independent steps but actually does go back to the source file (which means it's their fault for not triple-checking their files before sending them off to the cutting engineer!). I'm about 12 weeks into a single LP pressing. I know my stampers have been sitting at the plant since the end of April since I've tracked them, and though it's endlessly frustrating to have to wait, my tests are finally scheduled for delivery this Thursday. They better be perfect. Also, some record label 101 knowledge: don't announce a release date (or even a pre-order) until you have listened to the tests and given the plant the go-ahead. It's going to be 4 more weeks of waiting from that point, usually, and if you announce before listening and there IS a problem, voila, this is what happens.

Call Me Charlie posted:One of the producers made a really funny comment where she said she went to see The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and spent most of the time just listening to the amazing music eh, personally I often just end up focusing on the music in movies even if the movie is pretty good. that said I only made it about halfway through Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, not that I thought it was terrible but I'd already read the book and seen the Swedish movie version, and Fincher's version didn't seem to be doing anything new or different with it other than a better soundtrack.

Just as an aside, I never saw either movie, but I read the book and for the life of me I can't understand why it's an international megahit when it's literally some James Patterson-level generic murder mystery garbage. I recall the ending being particularly stupid.

I thought the first book of the Stieg Larsson series was pretty good as far as typical closed-room mysteries go, the other two got increasingly outlandish but at the time I read them I had thrown my back out and was stuck on a couch and they were decent enough entertainment to get me through
