Rapidfiretollbooth reacted to filthyrich in PO: Nas - Illmatic XX
Especially when it comes to vinyl, a "remastered vinyl reissue" in the 2000s rarely translates to "the best sound quality to date." Just ask the 45 RPM Metallica reissues (OOF).
Just to put this in perspective: The recent 2XLP reissue of Temple Of The Dog from 1991 was a big improvement, mainly because they expanded the record to a double and gave the grooves more space. Conversely, the recent "XX remaster" of Rage Against The Machine from 1992 was a disaster, and you'd be much better off hunting down the original all-analog pressing (or the MOV reissue from the same master). So even when we're talking about a record from the early 90s, no one really knows if the remaster is gonna be an improvement or a huge disappointment.
The difference between Illmatic and the records listed above, though, is that this record has been in print for a long time... and at MUCH cheaper prices than $30. So this newest version isn't filling any particular void in the marketplace (unlike the recent reissue of Ready To Die) because you can still get this...

So basically, you're paying more than double for a puke-inducing cover and an uncertain remastering job.

That's just, like, your opinion, man. I'd put Moment Of Truth, Midnight Marauders, & Hard To Earn above it.

Rapidfiretollbooth reacted to filthyrich in PO: Nas - Illmatic XX
Dear God that cover is TERRIBLE.
The repress has been available forever. For a while you could grab it for $8. There's also a European repress that's slightly more expensive.... Not sure if there's any difference in SQ between the two.
Both have the original orange-ish/brown cover, rather than the 10th anniversary B&W cover.

Rapidfiretollbooth got a reaction from Duff in Bunch of Rx Bandits Resignation listed
Fuuuuuuuck. Why did I just buy this?! I've been looking for the record for forever now and I guess it was just a compulsive buy. But I wish I read these post before I did.

Seriously can't wait for this show tomorrow night. It will be my first time seeing IIOI, TWIABP and AGBPOL. And hopefully they will all have some cool merch I can snag.

I keep reading a lot of "one of the greatest". Don't front, this is the greatest hip hop album ever and one of the greatest albums of all time for any genre.

Wish they would repress Planet of Ice, my favorite album of theirs and the only one that's hard to find (and way to expensive)

Rapidfiretollbooth reacted to ghjghj in Circa Survive Discography Reissue ?
"cancelled order" is not main problem. The main problem that I cant even ask anyone here about spare copy for the cost(or a little more), because it was my last money(CIRCASURVIVEMUSTBUYITOMG!), and I literally have no money(at least for 4-5 days). Sigh.
In Soviet Russia record collects you.

A colored press of Menos El Oso would be nice. Not necessary, but nice...

Rapidfiretollbooth reacted to Jnaught in Has anyone not received there Third Eyed Blind Box Set?!
Has anyone else not received there 3eb limited box set yet? I pre ordered Nov. 12th and still nothing! It says the order is unfulfilled, can't get a return email, call or tweet. Paypal says they can't do anything since its been 45+ days. I've tweeted Stephan from the band but still nothing! Sounds like I got ripped off, anyone got any suggestions?
