MCDELTAT Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Hot dang pre-orders hitting hard today! I grabbed the /700 splatter cause don't really care about rarity with them. That 7' book is also super dope but too much for me right now because I also grabbed a bundle from STYG. Will wait on that Knuckle Puck album.

Gippej Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Ordered a swamp green with black haze earlier, I'm hoping it's a merge like the mock up shows as opposed to an actual haze (I always read about how bad the surface noise is on those). Agreed about wishing the 700 and the 300 were swapped, the 700 looks great but I can just never seem to not choose the most limited lol.

deer Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I love ABR but wow there's no way to order those cool variants in the EU/UK yet. This is gonna get annoying isn't it? Excited to hear it regardless. Maybe better for me to not have a way to buy it yet, haha, easier on the wallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO haze records aren't that bad if you give it a deep wash upon immediately getting it, they sound like sandpaper going in and out of the sleeves. Yeah grabbed that /700 myself.

piky0032 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Ordered all 3.....another band im stupid enough to variant collect for....Shipping to Aus was pricey......New song is rad Holding off on that 7" box for now.......they never seem to sell well so here's hoping they get discounted along the way or show in an Aus store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmpie7 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) I really dig the 700 but I am just a sucker for anything swamp and I wasn't trying to buy both. Edited July 27, 2017 by danmpie7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnimosityDK Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) The album artwork reminds me of the Split soundtrack strangely. I dig it. Edited July 28, 2017 by AnimosityDK piky0032 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcafilm Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Geeze, I'm out of town for a couple days and miss an entire variant? Wanted that swamp but will settle for the splatter. Really dig that 7-inch book but having a hard time convincing myself to drop that much on an album I've only heard one song from, especially considering how little I listen to their last record these days. New song is probably better than anything on FIFAP, though, two listens in. MCDELTAT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'll have to grab it since the other variants are hard to come by. Any comment on whether the OG 2xLP version sounds better than the single LP?

Any comment on whether the OG 2xLP version sounds better than the single LP? It's been a while since I've researched, but I believe the consensus was that neither pressing was outstanding. I believe the CI pressing (car cover, dark starburst) was known as being unpleasantly compressed, among other flaws (CI is owned by nice folks but every pressing I have by them is pretty rough). The 2x gatefold pressing (chicken cover, clear) was apparently better but still had some sort of issues. Mostly I remember considering getting either pressing but passing because of the negative reports, so I never ended up picking this up. Hopefully this pressing is competent, but that would be... a change of pace for Solid State. MCDELTAT and mmhmm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCDELTAT Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Both interesting observations. I wasn't super impressed with the Constellations repress either, but what can you do... Weird that the 2xLP sounded worse, since that generally just means more room to widen out the grooves, add more depth, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And wasn't there a mint green tour variant for Leveler? Guess it'd be the same as the splatter one. I listened to my first press of Constellations after a listen of my repress of Messengers and thought (Constellations) was quieter. Has anyone been able to compare the Constellation presses? 1 hour ago, rcafilm said: Hopefully this pressing is competent, but that would be... a change of pace for Solid State. Solid State (and Tooth & Nail) is probably my favorite label... but yeah, I wish they would treat their vinyl releases better. Better quality in sound... adding inserts... maybe pressing other things instead of reissues. (Not that reissues aren't wanted/needed.) I'd kill for more Haste the Day, Oh Sleeper, MyChildren MyBride, Becoming the Archetype, finishing my Demon Hunter discog, or newer ones like The Ongoing Concept, etc. rcafilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super interesting to hear. Either way I'm very curious if this new reissue will end up the same quality as the CI pressing. Wonder if it would be the same plates.
