  1. I'm enjoying it so far but I don't understand the appeal of Nothing Personal. IMHO I feel that both albums after that are way better

    Nothing Personal is tied with So Wrong, It's Right in my book. Both great albums for catchy music and the one great emotional track (Remembering Sunday/Therapy).

     

    Dirty Work is too different for me. It's a "just a few of the tracks" album to me.

     

    Don't Panic to me was a matured All Time Low. Lyrically as well as musically, it just feels more advanced and I love it for that. That's why I hold it as my favorite.

     

    Future Hearts...it's really good. It's great. It has missteps, but my key issue is that it just doesn't show the same level of maturity that Don't Panic did. A couple songs did (two that come to mind are Dancing With a Wolf and Old Scars/Future Hearts) but the rest sounds like Nothing Personal to me, with a bit of Dirty Work thrown in.

     

    It's not bad by any means, but I was expecting another step further. Instead, it seems they've got one foot where they are (Don't Panic) and one in the past (Nothing Personal/Dirty Work).

  2. My RSD story

    BF2012: first record store day... Wanted incubus and tenacious d... My store had neither so I bought from flippers because I didn't know any better

    2013: wanted blind melon, white stripes, and south park... Got all 3... RSD is my favorite day now

    BF2013: drive an hour and a half to a store for the fun of it and I got everything I wanted

    2014: see above

    BF2014: stopped locally and grabbed a few things

    2015: don't care enough

    Also don't compare Asian man to worthless reissues... I can go into goodwill and pick up born to run for 50 cents but I can tell you you won't find joyce manor there

    My story:

     

    2014: Wanted Nirvana 7", store didn't have it. Didn't buy from flippers because $25 is ridiculous for a Pennyroyal Tea single.

    BF2014: Wanted Beatles and South Park, got both. Faith in RSD restored. 

    2015: Want Foo Fighters and Better Call Saul.

     

    Don't know what I should expect this year.

  3. What turntable are you using? If it's a Crosley or an LP60, your answer has been found. 

     

    Edit: Just noticed you said you re-calibrated your tonearm so it's definitely neither of the two above. You probably just got a bad record. In any case what table ARE you using? 

    LP120. I considered the fact that it could be an issue with the turntable or the tonearm weight, but it's never had this issue before. Anyway, I contacted Dr. Rhino about it, so I'll see how this pans out. 

  4. I recently purchased the 2007 reissue of Unknown Pleasures, and ran into a problem with "She's Lost Control" on the second side (Side B/Inside). When I started the song, it played the first ten seconds or so, then skipped several times. It got to more than halfway through the song, and then it just played normally. 

     

    I cleaned the record when I bought it, I listened to that song a few times to see if it would stop, I re-calibrated my anti-skate/tonearm balance settings, listened to different records flawlessly, and I don't know what the issue seems to be stemming from. 

     

    Is this a problem that anyone else has run into? I haven't found it anywhere else (though admittedly I didn't do a very thorough search). Did I just get a bad copy, perhaps? Should I contact someone about this?

  5. Who's willing to sell me a copy at face value after RSD if they can grab two copies??? Last year I had terrible luck finding what I wanted.

    Are you really that interested to jump at the RSD version when nobody knows what the cover will actually look like? I mean, sure, you could be a variant collector, but honestly you might wanna offer up a few more bucks if someone is going to fight off crowds to get this on RSD.
