People on antsmarching.org (dave matthews band fan forum) are going APESHIT over the new reissue of Crash not being as "splattery" as advertised. Most of them want it just to frame it so they feel ripped off haha. This quote jumped out at me right away: "It's a piece of shit. The vinyl itself will still sound amazing, but that's not the fucking point."
So this is what entitlement looks like...

Kinda missing the point of a vinyl record by miles there, but who am I to judge...

If they don't want to listen to it, they can just splatter some paint on it and be done with it.

531 bucks for a 10 CD, 17 video, 5 7" set of non-essential material from a not very limited audience band and people were mad at me for a hyper limited run 25 vinyl box at 700 EUR come onnn

Pretty crazy huh? I immediately thought of the Emperor box when I saw that. In comparison, the recent 20+ discs King Crimson box sets were only 130-150$ each. I guess Gilmour and co. thought Pink Floyd fans are crazy enough to pay +500$ on what is essentially a CD/BluRay box + memorabilia + a few vinyl singles that no one cares.
I'm a fan of most everything Floyd but I cannot justify that price. I mean, I would love to hear that stuff but I don't care much for the Syd Barrett era, which is the first 2 books in the set. Imagine if it were all vinyl? I think they would have asked 1500$ for it. I'll wait for the individual sets to come out in 2017 and lets just hope they won't charge 100$ each.
RE: Off-Topic Madness - Blood Music - 07-31-2016
Yeah, I just can't gather how much work was put into it from the press release but on a basic level it sounds WAAAAY cheaper to produce per unit than the Emperor set. I would think that thing is worth about $200-250 and not $531.
RE: Off-Topic Madness - perennial_quest - 07-31-2016
I totally agree. I know they had to secure rights to a lot of things in there, but in no way does that justify the $531 price.
