Hi, 

To best answer your question, can you post the exact make and models of the items you are asking about? There are a number of possible solutions, but without specifics, it will be difficult to help. 
 

in the pictures you posted both items are amplifiers. In the first one you circled an output, on the second pic, an input. But you don’t want to hookup two amplifiers like that in series (in a row). If you only posted the pics for reference to type of connection termination, then we will need the info I requested to properly advise you. 
 

Important question: Are your speakers powered? 

This record takes some listens, but it is REALLY good.

I can't find any songs to preview, but I'll be satisfied if it sounds anything like "American Nightmare." Fingers crossed!

That would be great, but given Skeletons, I’m not holding my breath on it sounding like a Misfits song from before 1985. I hope I’m wrong.

Is there at least one song I can preview from this? As has been said, this could be cool, but it could also sound like Skeletons. I want to like and support new Danzig (even covers records), but I’m going to need to make sure it’s something I’ll get repeated listens out of before I buy.

I’m perplexed by the disdain for the new single.  Feels like it takes a new angle for the first couple of minutes, and then falls right into place from what I’d expect to hear from Elder in 2020.  ROAFW is riddled with equally cheesy “90s” vocal moments, borderline fantasy metal shit.  It’s sprinkled in there but justified by the killer passages and behemoth runtimes.  Other than the production placing them a little closer to the forefront on the new song, I’m not hearing a massive leap...?  At least from their last album.  Not talking about early Elder records.

 

I’m reading that this new single is apparently the brightest cut from the album.  Which, I guess, makes sense as a single — gotta’ get those hooks and accessible melodies, right?  I can’t imagine the album goes a “90s emo revival” route or whatever everyone is concerned about.

Is “everyone” saying that? I don’t know what to tell you. I can assure you that if the previous albums sounded like this, I wouldn’t be a fan. Again, to me, it’s not just the vocals.

Really like their previous albums, so I blind preordered, then listened to the single. Wow, those vocals are bad. I’m actually thinking about canceling, and I NEVER think about canceling.

the vocals sound like a bad vocal line from a 90’s indie/emo band. I was embarrassed listening to it, and kind of baffled thinking about it as I type this. The music is definitely more upbeat, again, think 90’s indie emo bad, which isn’t bad, but is getting further away from what I like these days. I get the need to change things up consciously or unconsciously, but this is not appealing to me.

Are these guys just at the forefront of the 90’s revival. Beating everyone to the punch? I mean the 80’s revival has mostly run its course (I hope), right? 

I went into this with an open mind. I’m not a big Green Day fan, but enjoy the lookout stuff,  Dookie, and Insomniac. I listened to over half of it, but eventually had to turn it off due to feeling embarrassed. It was that bad. I’m not an American Idiot fan but I’m not embarrassed to listen to it. This is another story.

I’m almost ready to believe the theory that this is bad on purpose. 

Counterfeits, not bootlegs.

Very cool. Love this band.

There are 2 unnoficial 2019 releases of this on Discogs.  Both are available to buy.  I wonder if this is the same thing.

That would be kind of weird if Hotstuff was selling counterfeits.

I still haven't made it through Colors, and after trying to listen to the singles from this album, I have no interest in hearing the rest. 

 

His unique humor and unbridled originality has morphed into seriousness and predictable adult-contemporary bore. 

 

 

I agree with the part I quoted, 100%. I’ll even say that when I first heard Colors, I thought surely there’s some ironic humor in here, poking fun at the new indie style that he is copping, but no. No, there isn’t.

I tried to stream this on Spotify this morning and I couldn’t get through a single song. I’ve been a beck fan since Odelay but I think it’s finally over between us. Damn. 😫

It happens. I didn’t like enough of his last record to get it and I won’t be getting this one either. The days of me buying everything from an artist because I like some or most of the artist’s catalog are long gone. Beck is a diverse artist, so it’s understandable if you like one album but another doesn’t click. 

The almighty variant looks less bronze and a lot more yellow, but still a great looking combination. I like the music but still not sure how I feel about the production. Overall great record though.

oh, and 45rpm 2xLP is cool. 

Ha! I checked my order to see if it had shipped and saw that the price was 12.50 but my total was 30. After staring at it for a minute I figured it was a current sale price or something like that. Oh well.

Oh man. No wonder VMP rushed their announcement out yesterday - within the next few weeks there will be other variants people can snag without needing any type of membership. Wonder how many people will attempt to unsuccessfully cancel their VMP subs...

Exactly

Anyone having distortion issues on the D side of World Coming Down? Haven't gotten mine yet but someone on Discogs mentioned it.

I’m listening now, and I didn’t hear the non-fill noise described on discogs. Sucks for that person and there’s bound to be more with the issue, but my copy is good, and others have said their’s are good too. 

This set sounds so good. I’ve never been so moved by Everything Dies, but the verse is so soft and intimate and everything is so clear and powerful when it gets loud. It’s really awesome. It helps that I love Type O and think they are the most underrated band ever.

Pretty annoying buying this straight from run out groove thinking it would be here by release date straight  from the manufacture and it’s not even going to get to me till next week. 

That is frustrating. 

According to discogs these are all new new cuts compared to first box. I didn’t think the first box sounded bad by any means, but the new ROG CM etched Bloody Kisses I thought sounded great. It looks like these were all cut by CM, so I’m excited to check this out!

Got my box in. There was big dent in the shipping box that did a small dent in the spine of the slipcover box. I was really scared based on the box, but it’s almost not noticeable. I’m at work now, so I won’t get into it until later. 

Because I called them out, I have to give it up to ROG for getting this to me on release day! 

“Some” meaning Instagram models, unboxers, and reviewers? Maybe ROG will actually ship mine on or before release day this time.  I canceled my Bloody Kisses with them as my local store had it in stock and ROG hadn’t even shipped it yet. 

Wow, I guess she’s really fallen off on this board.  After a couple of listens I think it’s better than I thought it would be, but it’s still lacking...  something compared to earlier albums. There are some cool parts in songs but no songs stick with me yet. Sound quality on my nice setup was good, and seemed better suited to cut through the super dense production of the last few albums. 

I like the songs, especially the first one, but they are SO ear bleedingly loud!!! The sound quality really suffers for it. 

The LP arrived today. I won’t be able to listen to it until tonight. Between the early songs and cover art this album has been underwhelming so far. Nothing really stuck with me. I’m interested in giving the full album a run through though. Some of her stuff took a few listens to click with me, so I’m hoping that is the case here.

I forgot to pick up the s/t repress they did in 2015 (https://www.discogs.com/Supergrass-I-Should-Coco/release/7490505) so for sure would like that, as well as the 2nd & 3rd albums

 

Agreed especially when there has been a noticeable drop in quality in the later couple of albums it just feels uneven. The Supergrass Is 10 best of mixed it up and flowed very well

That’s not s/t as i’m sure you know because you linked I Should Coco. 

I just want a s/t repress. I’m not a big Greatest Hits listener anyway and rarely feel the need to buy them on vinyl. Same with live albums, for me.

I recently revisited this album due to some chatter on another forum. It did bring back memories of the time of its release, but I’m not a big fan of REM and the latest listen didn’t change that. 

I do however LOVE the idea of the remix LP. I love when this is done to go alongside the original mix, not replace it, but just to give an alternate experience. I loved the In Utero, TotD, Ultramega OK, and Ten remixes, most of the Steven Wilson remixes, etc. No thanks to the Megadeth remixes though, as not only are they bad, but they are meant to replace the originals.

How exactly do the interval from the last album release and the dozens of thread pages of you trolling people who like Tool make any prophecy or guaranteed informative statement about the literal quantitative limitation of the physical product inside physical stores? Please effectively make this case for me.

 

There has never been a scarceness of a brand new Tool CD inside stores on release date until this one right here. I foolishly banked on that.

I understand why you would be frustrated based on past great experiences. It was really cool being able to go to a store and grab a cd or lp  from a wall with dozens of copies, waiting in line to buy with other eager fans, dying to dive into and discover the new album by one of your favorite bands. Unfortunately, we don’t get that opportunity much anymore. The only thing we can do is make sure we work whatever system is in place to ensure we get what we want. Most of the time these days it means preordering. Sucks you had to learn it the hard way on this one. Hopefully you find a copy. Rumors are flying about a second press or a standard CD.
