MacDonals

Couldn't resist any longer, this band is so good. Got the Jockey#2 variant.

Damnit I loved the first album and this band pretty much checks all the boxes for me. I'm just not sure if they are a "must own vinyl" band.. That jockey #2 version looks hot though.

OK, I finally listened to the 180g black vinyl. After listening to the digital hi res (96k 24b) files, I think there is a slightly different mix on the vinyl, but it still sounds good. The only real difference I heard is Bruce's vocal is pulled up more on the vinyl. Not sure but it seems like some of the pressings have real defects. Speaking of pressings, I don't know if the ForumMotion post about pressing quantities is accurate or not because apparently the limited 500 Rough Trade half black half yellow is still available?

😬 You're Awful, I Love You has Lake Ponchartrain on it, which is a masterpiece.

This EP is fantastic, but $40 is a big bite. Their fans will buy and good for them 😀

Admittedly, my copy has not arrived, but I listened to the hi-res version today and the recording, mix, etc. sounded fine. I'm not saying it sounded great, but I'm a diehard fan and have accepted that we will probably never get another high production value recording. Polish has never really been a part of their sound. We got polish with Handwritten and Get Hurt, but their productions were likely influenced by Island/big label factors.

Well shit, this has me concerned. I'm still waiting for my black 180g version, and was waiting to listen for the first time on vinyl 😰

Sounds like he potentially did. I got the yellow and black splatter and it sounds fine, like everyone said. Just fine, not great.

I have an OG press white vinyl, so I have not opened this repress. If it sounds the same/similar, perhaps I leave it sealed...

Yellow and black arrived last week and it does have an insert. No lyrics though.

Well shit, I guess I missed North? Unless these were only the autographed versions...

Yes, but this is their opus.

Heresy!

My Dine Alone variant arrived today and it sounds fantastic.

I would have thought these would be all sold out, but Rough Trade just let me pre-order the translucent black version. 10% coupon as well! 10OFFNOW

Whoa. Surprisingly, I got in on the DineAlone variant. Only $37 shipped in US

My retail/silver/galaxy copy arrived today and the packaging looks great. So far this is a good deal more mellow than their previous records.

Damn, I missed the green. Still happy to finally have this, though.

Does anyone else feel that a 33.33 RPM / 1 disk package would be preferred?

Guys wtf. Just listen and cry 😒

It definitely is, or maybe more accurately, it's now mixed. I wouldn't be surprised if the original release was unmixed given how out of control the bass was. It sounds amazing now. I've spun my Apple Green with White Splatter copy 3 times already.

RevHQ got them out pretty early. Thankful for that. I like this record better then Richness.

Same here 👏

From Exile or Hello Exile? From was meant to be a fun re-imagining. Hello was very good, they just severely fucked up the vocal recording.

I'm a fan. I don't know what all the variants are yet, but I bought the Epitaph marbled.
