edited September 2019 in Music & Movies
First of all, special thanks to our very own Al @scubalab for sharing his good fortune with me by selling me this copy! As most of you know, there has been a lot of buzz with this new album, selling out everywhere! So again, thank you Al!

Yes I'm a sucker for collectibles. I've been on a quest to find all 3 variants of this release, thus far I have 2.

I already have the variant that Al sold me, so, I decided to share the good fortune many of us have realized here on this forum.

And to avert at least one of you from getting scalped by those out there re-selling these for outrageous prices! :)

Yours free, including shipping! Pick a number between 1-100, number to be drawn randomly on Sunday evening.

And, you must be a member in good standing with at least 100 posts.

Sorry @Viking64 , no fractional numbers, imaginary numbers, geometric ratios, irrational numbers. Only numbers between 1-100! :smile:

Thanks everyone it is a pleasure and and honor to be a member of the CP family!

    That was the initial thought, as posted by @Toolfan66 however the 4th variant could never be verified. This is interesting, from Discog's website:

    In please with 77. Have never been a huge Tool fan, liked what I heard on the radio but never enough to purchase. What I've heard on this disc may change that. Good stuff. Nice karma btw 👌

    After reading further down into that there actually is only three. Apparently the fourth was just a bad picture?
    Variant 1 - Priest Bowing:

    Cover is matte in finish, with glossy "polka dots" on the above part of the eye artwork

    Top and bottom sides show the "squares" artwork in black gloss as it is carried over with blended changes from white to black

    Inside front and back covers do not have any overlaid symbols (see Variant 3 as that one does)

    Inside middle where the LCD is has the "white squares" artwork that blends into "black squares" before it hits the edge of the surfaces (hence why we see the top and bottom sides as matte finish with glossy "black squares"

    YouTube unboxing of Priest Bowing:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnpYs_hudBI

    Artwork Scans for Priest Bowing, provided by u/honkimon : https://imgur.com/a/ekRhLZu

    Variant 2 - Priest Upright:

    Cover is glossy in finish, including the whole eye artwork piece

    Top and bottom sides are blank and are glossy

    Inside front and back covers do not have any overlaid symbols (see Variant 3 as that one does)

    Inside middle where the LCD is has the "white squares" artwork that blends into black deleting out the "squares" artwork before it hits the edge of the surfaces (hence why we see the top and bottom sides as blank and glossy)

    YouTube unboxing of Priest Upright:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVuD6u1yyWg

    Variant 3 - Danny's Drum Kit/Vision Crystal/Adam's Mural (note that this symbol is the same symbol we see covering Adam Jone's painted mural inside the artwork booklet):

    Cover is matte in finish, with the eye artwork glossy/slightly embossed

    Top and bottom sides show the white "squares" artwork in white as it is carried over without any color changes from the inside where the LCD is

    Top and bottom sides show "silver lines" from the artwork on the inside front and back covers• Inside front and back covers has "silver pattern" overlay over both front and back artworks (these connect to the "silver lines" as specified above)

    Inside middle where the LCD is has the "white squares" artwork which does not blend into any other colors near the edge of surfaces (hence why we see the top and bottom sides as matte finish with "white squares)"

    YouTube unboxing of Danny's Drum Kit/Adam's Mural:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDScpqCauDg

    Variant 4 - Triangle No Center Line: DOES NOT EXIST - This was a really bad image of Variant 1 that a few of us saw early on.

    This was a really bad image of Variant 1 that many of us originally thought was a rare image

    Keeping this listed here as a documented reference in the event it comes up during further discussion
