RIYL: If you like acid with your punk

Over the last ten years, one of the most consistent aspects The Men has been their ability to hop from genre to genre.

Now, Sacred Bones has gathered the band’s debut demo tape, a split with Nomos, a 7″, a 12″ EP, and a slew of unreleased demos, outtakes, and live recordings from those early punk years. A deluxe version will be release November 9th and is available for pre-order now.

Sad to see how low quality/noisy Sacred Bones vinyl pressings have been over the last few years. Just look at the Discogs comments for literally any vinyl release they've done over the last couple of years. I even wrote the label owner himself and he seemed perplexed and swore the copies he heard were all fine.

Good example, comments here: https://www.discogs.com/Hilary-Woods-Colt/master/1373510

Seriously cannot figure out why they insist on charging customers for vinyl that they have to know sounds absolutely dreadful. I won't call it unethical, but I don't know what else to call it. I'm avoiding all Sacred Bones vinyl releases until the label owner makes a public statement confirming he has remedied this problem. I've wasted literally hundreds of dollars on terrible sounding vinyl from that company. No more.

One of my recent Carpenter records had a poor sound quality, otherwise, I’ve never had a problem with any vinyl from Sacred Bones.

There are about 10 limited pre-orders left of Mt. Mountain new album on bandcamp. About 50 black copies. Get into it.

Lucky you. The multiple negative Discogs comments echo my own experience. Literally every record I've bought from Sacred Bones over the last few years is laughably bad quality. I can't believe they have the nerve to sell such bad quality pressings.

My bad, David. I thought either you or Sindre would be on it. Where’s Sindre? Need more Sindre.

Man, we all need more Sindre. He's around for sure. That lazy bastard.
