Yeah seriously. It feels real soft compared to Meliora. I only enjoyed maybe 3-4 of the songs when giving it two play thru's this morning. 

Side 2 is embarrassingly bad.

Crazy.

That’s how I would describe the drop in quality from Meliora to this album.

Seriously?

I’m in this boat as well. 

First listen was... not good. This record is going to cause a rift. Ghost B.P. and Ghost A.P.  If anyone is wondering if the lawsuit had an effect on the songwriting, the answer is yes. 

Of course I’m going to give it a few more listens, but so far I only really like Rats and Faith. 

It sure would be cool to get this on release day...

Agreed. Great show. Great venue for this band. Had a great time.

17. Deluxe Clear Smoke Vinyl with Bonus Clear Smoke 7" (unknown)

Anyone seen where you get this one...not seeing it on the Loma Vista US/EU/UK sites...cheers

This seems to be a (indie?) retail exclusive, maybe. It’s listed at online indie retailers at the moment.

For reals though. I have this secret crush on Zu Audio Omen Defs. I’ve never heard them, so I could hate how they sound, but I sure LOVE looking at them. 

I got the Deluxe US press and shirt from the US store last night. I finally heard the new song this morning and I like it a lot. Rats! Ahhhw-waaah-ahh!!

I have an iPhone and it’s ridiculous when using Safari. I’ve switched to Firefox on my phone to view this and a couple of other sites that were getting the “Amazon” pop up that, as described, won’t let me back up to the site and I’ve had to close the browser. No pop ups or redirects when using Firefox.

This shit is getting cornier by the record. Good for their success I guess but it's become a parody of what it used to be

I still like what they’re doing, and I don’t hold it against them, but it’s true. 

Wow, and you started the thread here...

Thanks Tardy. I ordered enough for every room.

Nice try, buddy. Clearly didn’t order. Exactly how much is “enough”  of these speakers?  Exactly.

I hear Wilson Audio is pretty good.

all or nothing.

I would not suggest an MC if you listen to rock they don't have much low end, great for chamber music not so much for anything with heavy bass and drums. I'd go with the 2M Blue with that table, I'm very happy with it on my pro-ject esprit 

C’mon

All not in print LPs are gone. What was “it ain’t cheap” (how much were they)?

Nice. Big fan.

Seems like there has to be some limited color(s) out there right? I don’t care about the limited part, but a color would have been cool. Bought it anyway so not sure why I’m even commenting.

The ST MOV press used the original plates and is amazing. The MOV version(on any color) stopped being pressed when they released that crappy XX anniversary pressing.

 

 

The MOV S/T has been the XX version since the XX version came out, and is not always advertised that way. And the original plates that were used for the first MOV are the EU or UK original plates, which are good, but are not the loved US RL cut. Not passing judgment, just info.

How bout we get some proper Type O represses

Love it. They’d have be done right though. 

Im not taking about some special audiophile bull crap (not that that would be bad...),either. Just a well done cutting pressed at a quality plant. 

Oof, that artwork...

$125 for a standard 2xLP and CD in a box with a deck of cards and a prism. I like deluxe box sets if they offer me more music, or an improved listening experience.   Cards, art books, or trinkets, not so much.

i hope it’s a great album as I like the music on the other albums.

After a couple of digital listens, i’ll buy the LP. It’s a good album, but I sure wish he’d do something differently production-wise. A lot of the songs blend together due to them all sounding so similar and it seems to be pretty compressed, which doesn’t help there either. I’d say the vocals sound super upfront, but everything sounds super upfront. Felt the same way about OK Bear.

Yep, also in for Frosting. Even though I don’t love the other albums, i’d buy the box, but I don’t need or want all the extras for $150 for 3 LPs. 

Happy this is happening. Hope it’s a success for them!
