    After listening to "In Blur", my feeling is that Deafheaven is generic now.  The thing that made them stand out and really fucking cool was that they put the blastbeats and black metal vocals over the bright, major key pretty parts.  Now they're just another shoegaze band. 

    It's not bad, it's just forgettable.  I wanted so badly for the blast beats and screaming to come in at the end of In Blur to push it to the top, and it just doesn't happen.  Feels like wasted momentum.

    I totally get the wanting to change thing and getting sick of doing the same thing, but what made them so unique was their "Fuck it" attitude of "Fuck you, basement Darkthrone and Mgla purists, we're gonna put shoegaze and 90's rock over your blast beats" but now they've just gone and become another band in a sea of shoegaze bands. 

    The only thing remarkable is the style shift from their previous work.  Nothing stood out, I can't recall as single part of any of the songs right now.  Like I said, it's not bad....  it's good, actually.  Well done, but not memorable.  ::Shrug::

    Lol makes sense…. make people wait until January to place an order instead of doing it like every other store on the internet and doing one shipment when the last thing released comes out.

    Well. Bummer. The Saul Williams order got cancelled. 
     
    Hi Juan,
      Unfortunately, we had an inventory error in our webstore regarding this item. We actually no longer have the Saul Williams LP on hand to ship out, but some leftover inventory remained in our system for one reason or another. I'm sorry for this inconvenience. I will be cancelling the order and refunding your purchase now. 

    Sorry again and thanks for the support!

    Did anyone catch that this got an Unofficial Bootleg release? Looks like it came out around the end of June. I only found 2 sold out listings for online stores, and 1 $80 listing on Discogs.  
     
    I managed to find one at a local record store today, and the store owner tried to convince me there was an original press before this boot done by Newbury Comics from a long time ago that goes for a lot of money, and I didn't buy that story (just assuming he's trying to justify the shop's hefty price for a boot). I couldn't find anything in my searching about an original pressing, so I'm curious if anyone else might know? 
     
    Either way, the boot sounds pretty good, and the packaging is nice!

    Well, I upgraded my table last year, and that alone costs $2K.
     
    And I just played the MOV gold and the VMP gold pressing, back to back, Record 1 only. 
     
    And they sound basically identical. I mean, I could lie and say the "artist approved" Clouds Hill pressing is more dynamic, or clearer, but honestly.... In a blind test I couldn't tell these apart. They're both cut extremely loud and not much more dynamic than the original CD. Both of them even have surface noise in the same spots. (Beginnings of each side during the quiet parts.)
     
    I mean, this is par for the course for Cedric & Omar, but it's still hilarious they pitched a fit over the MOV reissue, cancelled the FtM MOV release, waited 7 (??) years to do their "official" reissues, and.... They're basically the same. I guess the "back cover" is now the "front cover." GREAT.
     
    I still have the box set sealed, definitely selling that now once prices start going up in a few years.

    This is 100% my ranking also I think new Bermuda is flawless. I have gone back to it so much. OCHL just doesn’t connect with me at all musically or emotionally. I am always shocked New Bermuda Constantly gets ranked low.

    Got De-loused today, did a comparison of the MOV silver pressing to this, used B side of LP1.
     
    They are both really good, I'd say that Clouds Hill is extremely slightly clearer. But barely noticeable.
     
    Bare in mind I just have an Audio-Technica 60 with a shit receiver and an old surround

    Wasn’t MOV’s a similar shade of opaque gold?  Didn’t seem to stop people from dropping $200+ on it.

    So the new pressing is very nice.  No pops/clicks/noise.  There isn't a huge difference in the audio quality, I think this pressing is a little more quiet than the yellow marble.


    However, I also received a copy of Tremulant from the EU store yesterday, an order which I had cancelled, and it came with fucking COD charges.  We'll see if they respond but I'm probably just going to end up disputing the credit card payment.
