mrbyers2009 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Yeah man that was the album that got me into Coheed so I'm going to go all out! Same here. I didn't really like them at all then. After Apollo 1 dropped, I was on the phone with my bass player at the time and he described keeping the blade to me and how it was this instrumental track made up of both intros and he said the following 2 songs were amazing. I wasn't really sold based on what he said but when I got to best buy to look at the cover I noticed it had 15 songs on it and it was on sale for 7.99. That's just great economics right there. What I didn't know was that I was going to fall in love with a band and it's story. So I for one can't wait for Apollo 1's Neverender. I will spare no expense for that. Sorry for rambling, I haven't slept much this past week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Also, I finally just spun my peach copy. Tiny, tiny warp but doesn't effect the play. Every track sounds great. Interested to see how the black compares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tawney Bomb Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 New copy of the big black should be here tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vool Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Sounds like I'm lucky to have missed the colored variants (well, not missed...but refused to pay that amount)! Might grab a regular one from amazon at some point of time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danionly Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Played both my peach and grey copy last night. No warp and no skipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinylfilmaholic Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 That's just multiple levels of hurt...what kind of cartridge do you use currently? Ortofon 2M red, came with the Pro-ject. Take time off from buying records and buy a good cart. Doesn't have to be incredible, but a good audio technica, denon, ortofon in the 100 to 200 dollar range will do. Maybe a grado if it's a good match for your arm. I know it's expensive, but it will be the best thing for your vinyl addiction ever. Yeah, I'm looking at the AT120ET cartridge. Will likely get that after the holidays. Right now I'm saving for a new phone, then I gotta get presents plus Black Friday sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serum7 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Ortofon 2M red, came with the Pro-ject. I'm having the same issue with mine, and not just on this release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Gogh Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 My black copy was waiting for me when I got home. No warps no skips, sounds and looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siberiankiss Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 My black copy should arrive later this afternoon. Here's hoping there's no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 hahaha. Hey at least it was respectful. I have a broad range in tastes. They are within that realm of what i consider awesome. Haha yeah, I was just joking around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjkenney Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 got my gray copy in the mail the three days ago and finally got a short chance to listen to the first disc. Holy smokes, it sounds awesome. No warps or anything to my copy; real happy to have this finally. Expensive as fuck record for just being another 2LP gatefold, but still super sweet.

Family Friendly Rap God Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Spinning Big Black right now. Slightly warped but so far not affecting sound quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 So much for that Audiophile 180gram super duper awesome version black being perfect and not warped, eh Will? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I hear that dude. I listened to my grey copy again (not opening the tour peach cuz I'm a record collector scum) and gotta admit that it sound pretty damn awesome. My prior statement about the mixing and remastering and whatever, were a bit off-base. It's pretty damn good sound. Compared to the OG copies I spun to compare, there's a difference. This new reissue sounds clearer and more pronounced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This new reissue sounds clearer and more pronounced. I know this is an upopular choice around these parts but when I get my hands in a Peach, it will be spun a few times before going in a custom frame with my ticket and VIP lanyard. It was my second Coheed show and my brother's first (as well as his first crowd surf) so I want to treat it as so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I usually steer clear of any "discussions" of framing records or getting them signed or any of that b.s. At the end of day, it's your record and piece of music, do what you want with it. If want to frame it up b/c it has some meaning, as you expressed it does Will, then more power to you dude. I'd do the same if it meant like that to me. I do at times take issue w/ people who claim to be lovers of music and vinyl who never spin their records or get them solely for the "investment value" side of things. And that's a whole another discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family Friendly Rap God Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I do too but not enough to complain about what someone did with their money. I always laugh when someone says "investment" regarding vinyl because the VC shitstorm following is usually well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladew1ll1s1sdead Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Wait, so none of you buy records to just sell them later on? I HAVE WASTED MY TIME HERE. natenomm and jonnystorm777 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natenomm Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Got Big Black in today from Popmarket. Goddamn, their mailers are awesome! I may have to start buying more stuff from them so I have awesome boxes to ship out records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
