thetrackt Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 i suppose i could wait a few days - but whatever, is this a gatefold lp with the big insert like the original version? so amped, best work by these dudes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Got this in today! Looks and sounds (so far) fantastic. i suppose i could wait a few days - but whatever, is this a gatefold lp with the big insert like the original version? so amped, best work by these dudes. No gatefold. Big Insert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron666monkey Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Got mine today. I thought the jacket was a gatefold at first b/c it seems really heavy/thick (I said heavy and thick) for a Fat release. The clear portion on my copy is really grainy. Looks awesome. Sounds killer. Had never listened to this album before, actually never listened to this album before. Totally rules. Another VC victory for me. So glad I picked this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclz Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 so how does it sound compared to the 2xlp? i slept on the 2xLP for waaay too long until it was hard to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Got mine today. Looks awesome but didnt get a chance to play it yet. Was originally bummed about the lack of gatefold but still a nice package overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circuit bored records Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Got a chance to spin this today, actually did a side by side comparison with my 2x LP. The most noticeable difference is that this is a much quieter mix, I had to turn the volume down almost half when I put the 2x LP on it was that much louder. The 2x LP has much better mids as well, which makes the guitar work sound a little more prominent to my ears. It sounds more like the new LP was sourced from digital, even though they both probably were, it's easier to tell on the new LP. To be honest they both sound really good, but there is definitely a noticeable difference. Mourning Wood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I don't have the original to compare, but I popped this on and I get what yanquiuxo is saying. It definitely is a quiet LP (I guess to compress everything onto one LP.) I doesn't sound bad, but it is an album with a lot going on and it has a balanced sound. The guitars do sound a little flat because of this. Not to compare this to Mofi, but I feel like my Mofi LP's are quiet and low as well in order to compress everything as well and to also balance. Only difference I feel like you hear every nuance with their LPs as opposed to this. Still a good LP overall and I'm stoked to finally own it.
