I don't have an OG to compare to but I always thought the ETR pressing sounded a bit thin. The mid frequencies don't sound as present. At least to my ears, the new reissue sounds like it bumps up the mids more so it sounds more balanced and has a bit more punch. You're right though, it's not a night and day difference.

I'm curious on how it'll sound. The doppelganger reissue sounded much better imo than the ETR pressings. No doubt they'll be tweaking the mix/master for manipulator too.

Honestly, I don't think it's that bad. A different primary color might've been a better choice, but no hate for cornetto.

I've been refreshing the NYD page and their instagram every couple days 😔 Crossed fingers that they announce it soon.

I just got confirmation from the band on instagram that this will use the 4 panel fold-out layout that ETR used on some of their pressings.

Yeah, agreed. I think you're right on that. There were more hints for those 2 releases. Third Man Pressing even had videos of them pressing those variants on their instagram. Booo, that's lame. Although, the opaque jade isn't bad. Thanks for the info. That's what I'm hoping for as well. Shipping costs from NYD increased so much post pandemic. It's practically the cost of a double LP on their site 😓

Ugh, membership. Does anyone know if TMR subscriber variants are locked behind membership for good or if they ever go up for sale to the public down the line? @KaitouG My gut says that's probably the NYD fan club variant. They've usually sold fan club variants a little later than the initial street date. I'd keep a look out on Boris and NYD's instagrams.

SH3 and SH4 via Mondo. I know it's my opinion, but these covers are awful:

According to Nesi they're "remastered from the original tapes by Mika Jussila" who seems to have done some mastering work for them in the past (According to discogs specifically Am Universum by Amorphis and *maybe* Spiritual Instinct). So, honestly you're probably right. I don't imagine it'll sound all that different than other pressings.

@radiatorhums Ye. I didn't expect to see Scenario IV: Dread Dreams. Last I remember the test pressings were rejected and there hasn't been any word on what happened. Pleasantly surpised that it's a 3LP. Scored some Bodom and Igorrr as well and had to double dip on Alcest.

Repress is up for anyone that missed the first round ←Like this idiot Link again: https://orangemilkrecords.bandcamp.com/album/wlfgrl-vinyl

Received my TTL copy and unfortunately it's an utter garbage pressing. Static plays throughout both sides. Cleaning does no good. Wish TTL would start a habit of keeping some replacement copies before putting up their "second batch "after the initial wave of shipping. Contacted them and they can only offer a partial refund or full return/refund boo

And also can't forget the liquid filled carrion soundtrack that Materia was charging $666 for. Oh right, with no guarantee that the record will even still have the liquid by the time it gets to you.

You're right, it was. I was really just commenting on the mocks since you can't really tell them apart. I personally went with the solid yellow since I don't think I own a single variant of that exact color.
