Feels weird to not be preordering an Oh Sees album, but I've heard like half the album and my most positive reaction to any song has been "that's not too bad." Definitely not worth $45 to me.

So the ATO versions will most likely be like half the price (for non-Australians anyway) and half as common? Glad I waited in that case.

Sorry, I should have taken some PTO from work so I could get home and listen to it ASAP. I will try not to annoy you in the future.

Willowtip is still alive and kicking? Are they just a distro now? I haven't heard that name in forever. I have great memories of getting all of their early stuff so cheaply...  Circle of Dead Children, Commit Suicide, Harakiri, etc.

Rest a-My Chemistry was on the Italian pressing.

This might be Newbury's most flagrant cash grab/price inflated offering yet. Both of these are in stock at Castleface, for less money, AND in colored variations. wtf? Normally Newbury at least picks stuff that doesn't have colored variations readily available elsewhere.

Happens to me a lot and it's friggin annoying.

Please not another thread about this album.

The cover isnt even taking artistic chances that don't pay off. Its just... stupid and lazy.
Cant wait to see the breathless haul posts on reddit with people proudly showing off their purchase. "Only Maynard is innovative and daring enough to deconstruct our perceptions of acceptable cover art!"

Good to see Billy Corgan getting some  modeling work outside of Cat Fancy.

Different reaction over here. Psycho Star is decent, but even with all the recent rock music aping '70s stuff, this might be the *most* blatant '70s sounding song I've heard this year. Down to the video as well.
 
And I don't like The Other at all. I think some of the lyrics are awkward and delivered clumsily, and King Tuff just isn't someone I'm gonna go to for serious reflections on life. I feel like he's not playing to this strengths here. I get he was sick of the "King Tuff" persona though, so I'm glad he's found something he's passionate about.

I'm a firm believer that if you pay for an album in any physical form you are entitled to it digitally in any format you desire forever.

Just grabbed what I think may be my favourite pressing so far from Neptoon Records.

Packaging and labels utilize Jason’s artwork nicely, the vinyl looks awesome and it was only $18 USD shipped from Canada.

Cool, look forward to hearing your thoughts! If it's not off-centered like mine, I might grab one too. And I just want to support Dax as much as possible. Bumping this thread sent me on a big Dax kick, he's all I've been listening to for the last few days, lol
You know, you might be right about the volume of the PTT master recording causing issues. I distinctly remember that my CD was always quieter than whatever else I had just listened to. I wouldn't be surprised if Rotten didn't put a lot of thought and care into those pressings, but yeah, maybe there were other issues too.

My copy of Agents showed up today.  It's the opaque green variant.  I'll spin it tomorrow and report back on sound quality.

I only have Agents and Deadboy.... but thanks to this post, I checked discogs and see that Blood or Love was repressed a few months ago and is available on his site?!  I'm just gonna take the plunge. I'll let you know how it sounds.
But yeah, Deadboy is probably my least favorite Dax album. I'm happy to have it on viny though, and it's grown on me over the years. Maybe with Dax releasing stuff on his site we'll finally get Say Goodnight to the World and If This Is Hell... on vinyl?
And since I'm checking in on all things Dax, I just found this on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Daxriggs/comments/7ajjbq/after_ordering_agents_of_oblivion_on_vinyl_i_took/  holy shit I hope this is true!

Interesting... I always thought this album sounded pretty good. Very tight, snappy drums and bright guitars that fit those songs well. Maybe the production is a little dry, but IMO Recipe for Hate is more in need of a remaster.
.... or any of the Brooks albums to reduce the ridiculous brickwalled drums.

I didn't understand that comment either, lol.  Personally, you've been good for my wallet! The Polygondwanaland thread caused me to look into the abyss and made me think that maybe I should focus a little less on collecting variants, hahah. 2018: the year of black vinyl? Maybe.

This album sounds really fantastic, both production wise and the LP itself. Does 45RPM in general lead to less surface noise...? I don't understand how a label as small as Castle Face can put out nearly flawless sounding albums, yet the new Metallica repress I have is full of pops and hiss.
Awesome silkscreen, cool vinyl (pink smoke), and high-quality printed inner sleeves as well. Top-notch release all around.

looks like more just went up
