Re: anniversary opiate

I can't believe people are paying for this shit, smh... $150 for some signatures and a bunch of useless shit, I'm sad fans can get taken advantage of this easily. I know I'm in the minority here (at least on this forum) but I just couldn't fathom paying $150 for an album with a bunch of extra "goodies" if it doesn't even contain bonus material, what is the point?

You're actually not in the minority here. Maybe you are in this particular thread, but outside of it you're in the majority.

Re: anniversary opiate

actually, i don't know what the point is - but you seem kind pissed you couldn't get it for a lot cheaper. not sure what you were expecting... $150 is not surprising for what it is. especially if you appreciate having a hardcopy edition of some really good art. also, 'limited edition' does tend to bump the price up. there's already a thread locked about this.

Re: anniversary opiate

If you're talking to me, then no. I don't find value in it. The signatures are worthless to me and the artwork is mediocre at best. If it was $10 I'd still pass on it.

Re: anniversary opiate

I would spend 50, but not 150. Its cool I got to see the art work, that's all I would really care about for the 50 bucks, so now that I got to see it for free, i'm good. :)

then you're a dumbass. it being of no value to you does not equate to having no value. if you knew they were (or going to be) selling on auction sites for $100+ and the initial was $10 (hypothetical)...and you didn't want to go to the effort of obtaining a limited edition whateverthefucktheitemis ...then fine, that's your choice. that's the entry level. this item/sale was meant for people willing to wait on (and perhaps even email about) the presale date, like ...to the minute (however fleeting). it took 10 hours or so on TA for 1000 to sell out, and then less than 20 hours for the remaining 4,000. if you have the time to rip on people - across multiple threads - for making a purchase that was obviously intended for them ...and not you ...then you also had the time to turn $10 into at least $100. easy money. that's like folding when you have the nuts. no, that's like ridiculing someone for not folding when they had the nuts. what are you talking about?

Re: anniversary opiate

I don't play poker and I don't gamble on lame Tool re-releases with no new material. You're a dumbass if you bought this for the purpose of flipping it on eBay in a couple of years. I'm not convinced you will get much of a return on the investment. Anyone who really wanted one was able to purchase it during the sale. I haven't heard one butthurt fan on here complain they couldn't get one and is now pissed off it's sold out. So where's the demand?

Look, enjoy your purchase, I hope it brings you joy. But that's not going to stop me from voicing my opinion in an opinion forum.

no, that's the most shallow reason, the litmus for whether or not this purchase was "worth" it. i even prefaced with it having to be on your schedule. i happen to enjoy the minds of my favorite artists - i like seeing what makes 'em tick. what they pine over for hours, days, months, and years. they are the artist. i am the gracious idiot. "mediocre at best". please, tell me your highest of high art? lay it down.

anyone who argues that it's not worth $150 is a butthurt fan complaining they couldn't get one (at a lower price). 'cept for you. you're special.

These days it's clear that making money is what makes 'em tick.

Re: anniversary opiate

why? bc this very audio/visual band is offering something that doesn't include new audio? you just want a new album so much you think they actually owe you a new album. artists hate people like you.

Re: anniversary opiate

I actually could give or take a new album. I'll give it a spin if they release it, but I have low expectations. It certainly doesn't make the list of things I'm anticipating.

Also, I could give a fuck what the band thinks of me. I'm certain they don't think about me at all. Maynard is more interested in fans like you who keep sending him more money, buddy. ;)

You're probably right. All that's left to do is watch his bank account grow.

Re: anniversary opiate

it means more to some people than others. personal preference... nothing to display angst about on either end. i didn't get it but would have if i had a cushion in my bank. doesn't matter tho, i would listen to it once, frame it and hang it on the wall to collect dust.

shake off the dust and live your life, don't worry about what other people are doing. money is shit, it comes and goes, buy what you want when you want, it's amazing how you (me) always get more money.

Re: anniversary opiate

I live in Belgium, Europe, member of TA, ordered one presale, it has been shipped and I will have to wait a couple of weeks for it to drop in my mailbox. So what? Patience is a virtue. The internet is full of spoilt whining brats.
