Vinyl Fury

anyone listen to this on vinyl yet? really really enjoy the album, but the digital version is realllly pushed, crunchy, etc. I've held off buying because unless they did a separate vinyl master I don't see how it would be any better, but I'd love be wrong.

‘Dine Alone has pressed their landmark and influential debut album to vinyl for the first time!’ … there was a pressing in 02 and a Music on Vinyl reissue in 2015, in case anyone was confused by that wording.

Hmm.  Very curious if they have a /100 variant and just have the description incorrect. 

Seems that its 100 allotted to amoeba of that color for a total of 1000.

Interesting. I was JUST thinking about them a couple days ago, and saw that their wikipedia was updated to say (2022-present) but couldn’t find any reason for it. 
 

I have the MOV and SRC pressings, the latter of which already has 5 extra songs …

hdtracks has a 24/96 version, it is $11.58 with this code HDWELCOME20

The level is unfortunately still super slammed. I was hoping it was just the single versions.

This was delayed this long for quality and they use GZ?

' the Failure Boxset has been delayed, due to vinyl manufacturing setbacks, resulting from Covid-19'

Got mine today. Turned out great. Some of the cleanest vinyl I've seen from GZ.

Are we sure that digital downloads of the bonus material will be made available now that they are out, or is this going to be exclusive to the vinyl release? The wording in the announcement email wasn't super clear ... 'This does not include the outtakes from the Boxset, as we’d like to keep something special for the official release'.

The single is on HDtracks, I look forward to the analysis of that. 'Gore' wasn't improved at all via that avenue, I hope it's different this time.

I'm into the track but, good lord, I hope the vinyl master is a bit more conservative. The YouTube video is 8.5db louder than their volume normalization. I think that's the loudest I have seen.

This is truly excellent! Listened several times already.  Step Into You is a new repeat play favorite.

However, not opting for vinyl was one of the easiest decisions on format in awhile.

Before shipping, $35 for vinyl. $10 for the CD as well as a download that includes 24 bit / 88.2k WAV, standard WAV, and Mp3.

Just wanted to to put that perspective out there.

This comes with a 24bit download as well. That's awesome.

Most of what I heard was better than than the last one but damn, the sound quality is shit. So much compression, the drums are so dull, and any opportunity for emphasis or punch is totally squashed. Aside from all that, I saw it in a record store for $32 ... on sale ...

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the vinyl release. Thick gatefold with various texture, large booklet, very decent pressing, and housed in a clear slipcase with a layer of the art on it.

And a 24 bit - 48k download to boot.

In addition, it is August.

The new song is Lair Hill:

Yes, I know where to find it if I want to pay more. I do not.

That’s assuming you ordered through them. 

I didn't order through HH, no

No download code. Anyone have a legit digital version?

Band released a flac version of new album....30 bucks

 

And they say cds at 15 bucks killed the market 

..... what the fuck is wrong with them?! That is full on ridiculous.

Anyone have a digital version they could share? Kinda bullshit for a record to not have a download code at this point.

Are you referring to the CD/digital mastering?

My Chris Bellman mastered vinyl sounds fantastic. 

I am, which is how most people hear it. The vinyl version is definitely more listenable thanks to Bellman.

The digital version has dynamic range of 4, which is lunacy, while the vinyl is 10.

Awarding the mastering of this album is confounding. It's a prime example of too fucking loud with a pitiful dynamic range. Lazar has been the loudness champ for several of these, like the Foo Fighters' Saint Cecilia EP, which is a real ear blaster.

Can't believe it sold out in my cart again. Didn't care about the print, but had no choice.

anyone aware of what source was used for the new W&S pressing?
