sworph Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 :/ Really? Bummer... Hopefully mine make it to Aus safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtw88 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Finally got a chance to listen to this today... it sounds horrible. I couldn't even finish side A. I love Topshelf, and this band, but the sound quality is just so poor. Do you mean recording quality or vinyl quality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankmurphy Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 It sounds really muffled. Pretty terrible even at very high volumes. I like the songs, but the album just sounds bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewfrank Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 the recording sounds terrible... it fluctuates between songs, terri vs. tori sounds brutal and a few others are the same.. i do love the songs on here but i probably won't spin this again... PM me with an offer if you're interested in a clear w/ green splatter copy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sworph Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Shit, I am pretty upset. Was really looking forward to this release... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catalinacaper Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 It almost seems like a vinyl issue, because honestly while the album is sorta rough in the first place (not really bad at all) the record sounds much worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamrfox Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I agree with the sounding muffled terry v tori and medal of honor sound amazing other then that, not so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon260 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Listening to my copy right now. Doesn't sound as bad as I thought it would, considering some of the comments, but it still doesn't sound as good as I expected/would have liked.

topshelfsquad Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 awesome record. still haven't received my copy, though. All the pre-orders are out (whew!) New orders are slowly going out, but we're sllllightly behind on these with the pre-order volume we've had to deal with in getting Suis La Lune / Code Orange Kids & Full of Hell / You Blew It! pre-orders all mailed out. We also haven't processed all orders that have gone out yet. So it's possible your order's been shipped, but you haven't gotten a notification about it yet.

topshelfsquad Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 He works for Gotta Groove, it was probably pressed there. Yeah, this happened. (there's no emoticon for repeatedly slamming my head against a wall). We had the tests re-done. So two sets of tests exist. An incorrect and a correct. For clarification.

sworph Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I got my bundle about a week ago, shipped to Australia. Sounds great, listening to it heaps. topshelfsquad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Dopp Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Just got this in the mail today with my Suis La Lune bundle. I really like this band a lot, but this record sounds pretty bad. It sounds like I'm listening to AM radio. There's no depth to the sound at all... Pretty bummed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topshelfsquad Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Just got this in the mail today with my Suis La Lune bundle. I really like this band a lot, but this record sounds pretty bad. It sounds like I'm listening to AM radio. There's no depth to the sound at all... Pretty bummed. Sorry to hear this, dude. :/ Though we've been doing this for awhile now, we're still getting our bearings sometimes with who we work with for mastering (specifically for vinyl), cutting lacquers, pressing the actual vinyl, etc.. It's a bummer because I think this is a great sounding record otherwise. I've heard very polarizing and mixed reviews about the quality of this record — I can only speak for the copies I've listened to which, including the tests, don't warrant the harsh criticisms I've seen it garner. I have no doubt that there's something going on with this pressing and that any complaints are warranted (we don't take this stuff lightly). I guess what I'm trying to say is that there's a LOT (like, a fucking tonnnn) that goes into creating a great sounding record on vinyl and we're still a young label trying to get the best sounding records out that we can — every now and then, we have a hiccup or two :/.
