They said I had 90 minutes.

Um, yeah, black coffee, Stevia?

Oh, it's inside.

Oh, okay.

Hey everybody, thanks for tuning in.

Smash this thing.

Smash that follow and like button.

Today we're going to be doing an unboxing, I have my cheat sheet right here, today we're going to be doing an unboxing of Papercuts, the new singles collection, greatest hits album release.

I feel like unboxing is a misleading term.

It kind of is.

Right?

Because you're really, you're not boxing, but you're not unboxing.

It's almost like Schrodinger's cat.

Schrodinger?

Is it a soft G?

Wait, which one is the soft G?

I think it's a G and a soft G, but I think they can't exist simultaneously.

You're going to do the like 10 minute version of this unboxing, right?

So we're going to do the 60 second version on like the flippy social media?

Right here, press this for the 60 second and for the director's cut with all the footage it's going to be probably at least a 90 minute, right, that's what we plan for, unboxing.

I mean we can, we'll narrow it down, we'll cut it down.

Press this button right here.

Paper cuts is a, it comes in four formats on the website, lincolnpark.com.

I saw the different formats online and they look very good.

I know that you have not, I have actually seen, I've only seen one of them.

I saw a picture online, that was it.

You've seen stuff digitally, you haven't seen stuff in person.

I've seen one of these things in person.

It's funny, I went to high school with her.

Zoe Trope?

Yeah, Zoe Trope.

This is the part where we unbox, ready?

I like that there's instructions for unbox, like just in case it wasn't clear.

Alright, I'm going to let you do this part.

I've done some of, does everyone get this?

What if we do, what if we did like 10 minutes of just this, ASMR?

Put it really close to your microphone.

I don't think that's ASMR, I think that's like, this would be very unsettling.

Brad is doing a bubble popping portion of the unboxing.

So this is awesome, you can like see through it, you can hold it up to the light.

Alright, you get that, oh, there's other, there's more.

Well so yeah, with every purchase of bubble wrap, you get, I actually thought that was the thing.

With every purchase of bubble wrap, you actually get a freebie, you get something else.

One of them, actually this one's my favorite, I'm going to save that one.

This is, here, you do it.

Wow.

I feel like whoever picked this Pantone color knew what they were up to.

It's a very specific Pantone color.

I really like the font too.

And I like that it's wrapped in plastic because that way you know it's new.

If we're supposed to take off the plastic, nod yes, okay.

I'm not going to be responsible.

I can't be held responsible.

I'm throwing caution to the wind right here.

When's the last time you took plastic off a CD?

Real answer, real, truthful answer.

Yesterday.

Bullshit.

When's the real, when's the real.

Oh, there's a sticker.

Can you slide the box out of the way?

I can't, I can't figure out if Brad is just really in, in, come on.

I can't figure out if Brad is just really like into the little details of life in general.

Or if he's completely missing the point of this exercise.

It's got the green font.

That's dope.

Continuity.

Oh, I feel like I broke it.

Was that it?

Oh, wait.

No.

Oh.

Oh.

What's that?

It's so subtle.

Yeah.

And it reflects the light.

I could check my hair.

So what does this do?

Okay.

So this is green, but this is black and white.

I don't know.

This is dope.

Okay.

Consider this disc unboxed.

Thank you, Zoe.

Ooh, there's more.

You know what's dope?

This one.

Is that.

Look.

Yeah.

I like that.

This one is a.

Is I want, is this texture or is this just the plastic?

Wait a minute.

I should, we should do that one last.

Yeah.

Opening the thing.

I feel like part of the secret to unboxing is you just open stuff.

You don't have to like talk about everything.

Some unboxing videos don't have any words.

We're doing it all wrong.

You could mute us right now and then you would just see the actual unboxing and you wouldn't have to listen to this.

It would be a much higher quality experience.

I'm just going to kind of.

Oh.

There.

Oh.

Should I take the whole thing off?

I'm going to take the whole thing off.

I'm going to take the whole bit off.

Look at that.

Singles collection.

This is very elegant.

All right.

Ooh.

Like the disc.

Green font.

I'm noticing patterns.

And what I would guess is that this is going to be black and white.

Let's find out.

Look at that.

Wait.

Oh, this is.

That's vinyl.

This is vinyl.

So is the other vinyl on.

What is this?

That is.

Oh.

What do we call that?

An insert?

This is a vinyl insert.

This is a vinyl insert.

This is a vinyl insert.

This is a vinyl insert.

This is a vinyl insert.

This is a vinyl insert.

This is a vinyl insert.

This is a black and white insert.

That's the black and white insert.

This is vinyl.

This is vinyl.

So that means there's another vinyl or there's more vinyl.

This has four sides.

Remember?

So four sides.

So that's sides one and two.

And this is side.

These are sides.

Oh.

It says one and two.

Yeah.

And these are sides.

So you don't get lost.

They're numbered.

They're numbered.

The only way you could really screw this up is if you put them wrong.

But you don't know the songs here because the songs are smudged.

Did that.

I'm really disappointed.

Yeah.

I'm really disappointed.

Something got messed up by the printing on this because the songs are all smudged up.

Sorry.

The titles are smudged.

I'm sure that their copy won't be that way though.

But you can refer to this and then they're not smudged.

I think their copy, hopefully their copy will be okay.

Or you can look on the back.

While you're listening to the music, you could look at the back.

Ooh.

I feel like we should do that at the same time.

Okay.

Ready?

One.

Two.

Three.

Ooh.

Standard black vinyl.

Production credits.

But wait.

This is the standard one.

I thought there was one with different colorways.

This one is...

This is the OG.

The OG...

I like it.

Black vinyl.

I like it.

Classic.

This is the classic black.

Classic black vinyl.

Boom.

Flip it around.

A little turn around.

Boom.

A little open.

There you go.

Okay.

I'm going to turn it towards the camera.

All right, Brad.

What's next?

There's a lot in here.

This one, I'm very excited about.

Dude, I love a good cassette.

I feel like the audio quality is better on cassette.

What do you think?

It's definitively not.

But it is a cooler experience to me.

I like it.

I like it.

I like it.

I like it.

I like it.

I like it.

I like it.

I like it.

I like it.

I like it.

I like it.

I like it.

I like it.

I like it.

I like it.

I like it.

I like it.

I like it.

I like it.

I like it.

I like it.

I like it.

I like it.

Looks better?

Dude!

The other options are definitely higher fidelity, but this is cooler.

You could carry this around in your pocket.

Right?

You could trade it with friends.

You could record over it.

You could record over it.

It's very hard to open this.

I actually don't think I can unbox it.

Cassettes are always the hardest ones- I shouldn't have gotten that manicure.

It does look so nice.

I feel like this is from outer space.

I love that green box.

That green box is cool.

It's a good looking cassette.

So what do I do with this?

It's a cassette.

Right.

You just kind of put it on your shelf.

Oh, you just do that?

Yeah.

That's kind of-

Like that.

Yeah.

It's like a little piece of art.

Oh, it sounds really good.

Sounds good, right?

I still- I don't know.

I know that you feel strongly that this isn't the highest fidelity format, but I feel like there's an intimacy with this that you can't- you can't get anywhere else.

What do you think?

Sounds different than I remembered.

It's a little different.

Yeah.

Like, if you were to ask me, do you remember writing this song, I wouldn't like- I don't-

What do they call that?

A gatefold?

This is the-

This is the-

That's a pro-fold.

That's a pro-fold.

You pay extra for that, right?

Yeah.

All right.

I love that.
