I was browsing the bands merch site yesterday, and saw that the Blood Red vinyl pressing of Maps from a few months ago was still available. I immediately bought one, and then afterwards had some doubts due to reading some comments here from a few months ago saying they sold out pretty quickly. So, I emailed their merch email address and they confirmed that it wasn't an error and their label sent them some extra copies. Just thought I'd let you guys know.
Cheers!
Seriously did the record label print 10 of them? Can't give them money if the music isn't available!
more questions! I'm super new to this band, like, just-discovered-them-five-days-ago new, and I dunno much of anything about the releases, old or recent. is the red cover a retired old version? was it maybe the cover used for CDs or something? I'm trying to archive all the TYS album covers and coming across this one I got curious. and I also need to name it something relative to the release it can't just be "Maps of Non-Existent Places (red)" lol
Just received my copy today and when I took a look at the LPs themselves I realized I received the first half of the album twice. Has anyone else had this issue? Or know how I can get in touch with someone that could help me get the second half of the album?

####Potential Discussion Questions:
-
Bombastic, over the top, displaying 379 different styles all at once. Sure sounds like prog from 2012. What separates this album from its peers?
-
How would you personally rate the album?
-
Are there any moments on the album you consider particularly strong or particularly weak (i.e., favourite/least favourite moments)?

I wanted to listen to Thank You Scientist but now all they have is Abandonship. When I try to play any other album it says that it’s not available in my country (US). This is very upsetting to a huge TYS fan.
Third lvl90 character and i've found like 5-6 blighted maps. Seriously wtf? I thought we play the league here not fucking standard with 10% of actual league. The league is fun and amazing but let me play it ffs!
Oh and no oils drop from blighted maps also, wtf is this design?
