Man, 5 years ago me would have throwin’ ‘bows to get in my preorder for Purple. Today’s me is cool with what I have. And I think I’m cool with that?

I really like the (sorta) new song. I also really like How It Feels To Be Something On, and The Rising Tide, so it kind of make sense. I’m looking forward to the re-recorded Diary if it sounds as good as this.

Agreed on the green, but I think I’ll prob just go with a standard. Green transparent was the old box set. I hate shopping big box over indie but it’s hard to spend a $15+ premium.

Says this is an exclusive variant, so I’m guessing there is at least one other? Please post if you find it. two here: https://store.typeonegative.net/

US link Silver, blue/black, or black https://bodega.lomavistarecordings.com/collections/chelsea-wolfe i don’t care about the poster or the cards, so I may just wait a bit to pre order. The pink in purple is easily the best color so far.

I think the box set and the subsequent individual album releases with the same cuts are awesome. They sound great, fit the spirit of the band, and did I mention they sound killer? I love the way these ROG cuts sound so much weight and power. Plus the music isn’t half bad…

The 3 LP BK is a different cut than the box but other than that, the individuals are the same cuts as the ROG box. I, like you, got the individual OR yellow variant just because, but I haven’t been getting the other individual releases. I did buy a Bloody Kisses, but once I got it, and it was the same cut as the box, I decided not to buy the others, and I recently sold it. I am thinking about buying the 3LP LIKM because of the extra LP, but that’s a strange comp of songs, that seem to be pulled from all over so not sure I really care.

Good news is all major pressings are good. OP, ORG, B2B, and 20th 3LP are all great. This new one is being remastered by Bob Weston who does really good work, so hopefully it’s good, too.

Life is Killing Me is my most played record of theirs. To me it’s certainly the easiest to listen to start to finish and the most consistent as well. To do that it sacrifices a bit of character(it’s their most straightforward album), but I don’t mind. I didn’t click on the links, but I’ve pretty much stopped buying everything but my favorite bands new albums and even then I’m usually listening to as much as I can of it before buying. Prices are just too much. And forget about variants, represses, or these days even recuts. I’m good with what I have.

Why does it have to be one or the other? Why not do both so fans can pick what they want? Recent Dirt reissue comes to mind.

I can’t imagine skipping Junkhead.

Interesting. I have a soft spot for this record. Great album.

I’ve listen to it a couple of times now, and while I don’t love it, I like it enough to keep it in rotation. It is very different overall. Yes, there are textures, motifs, rhythms, guitar licks, and of course, Cedric’s vocals that sound familiar, it really doesn’t bear any substantial resemblance to past TMV albums. Playing the Atmos stream forced into my 2 channel setup it sounds very clean, detailed, punchy but still laid back enough to not blow out the experience. I’ll prob get it on vinyl eventually.

I LOVE TON, so I’m surprising even myself here and NOT getting this. My interest in “The Hobby” has been waning a bit in the last year. Prices are through the roof(in general). Splatter is without a doubt my least favorite (non-picture disc) color way. Don’t care about live songs. I have an OP. I could go on, but no one wants to hear any more of that. if you need any help being talked out of buying something, I’m your man!

Good call on all the extras!

I was hoping for this info, but I don’t know of any extra songs from these sessions, if there are any.

Yeah, just gives me a check nearby stores.

I also don’t want to get involved over at SHF, but I think it’s an important thing for those who care. I only care that it’s not disclosed and language that is anywhere from vague to purposely misleading is and has been used. I want it to sound great. I don’t care if it’s digital, but I would like them to honestly disclose their source. Some of us that pay attention and seek out info have understood that digital has been used to cut most vinyl since the 90’s and a lot was cut from digital in the 80’s too due to final mastering to DAT being a standard in the industry.

Since we’re doing this, the OP End Hits was also on color vinyl.

I’m not a big MOV fan(I know some are. Cool), but I also didn’t really think much of their single LP version. I’m looking forward to this. I’m guessing it will sound more like the Facelift 2LP.

I wish I didn’t like this post but it’s nearly spot on after the three singles just kept sliding further with each one. I liked Blacklight, as while different was still kind of creepy or dark in its own right and could have been a lighter song on the album similar to The Widow, but no, it doesn’t sound like it at this point.

What am I doing? The Scarlette LTIY I got had pressing defects that made it hard to listen to (repetitive clicks and pops through the all of side B ), and here I go buying more colored represses. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ because Unwound

So I’m buying these (all three) even though I just talked about not buying them. too much silver and gray. Anyone know of some other exclusive colors like newbury’s Repetition?

Cool. Though I was hoping for old school 90’s transparent “yellow” that also looked a bit orange.

According to Discogs, this silver press of Fake Train is the same cut as both the box and the black stand alone. Some of the stand alone black and color represses have been recut and by most accounts the recuts are improvements. Even more of a reason for me to pass on the precious, beautiful, cool looking, must have for true fans silver vinyl version.
