Gippej Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Finally got around to opening my copy and give it a listen. Overall I am slightly disappointed, the gatefold is cheap and thin and mind has tear marks or something like a big piece of tape was wrapped around it at one point. LP 1 also had an incorrectly sized punch hole and wouldent even come close to fitting on my table until I widened it with a pen. The mix is decent, but i feel sorry for people who payed a premium price for this release, there is nothing about it that justifies the price.

serious business Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Can you tell if you have a grey copy by the number on the side without opening it? http://www.discogs.com/Coheed-And-Cambria-In-Keeping-Secrets-Of-Silent-Earth-3/release/6201109 Notes"Direct 2 Fan" edition. Barcode for gray version is on a sticker over barcode (for the black version) that is printed on the jacket. Also...if you ordered the grey one.

mcpherson123 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I got a black copy of this from amazon marketplace for $24.77 shipped in March of 2015 and this thing is silibance city. Its incredibly over powering and distracting. I don't think I've even flipped to side B on it ever. Side A was so bad I couldn't keep going. So that sucks. Anyone else have these issues?

But I have to say that "grey" and "marble" are my two most detested color vinyl attributes and that thing has them together. Still its more about the cost. I kind of find it hard to believe that the grey is just fine because silibance would be a problem in the mixing or vinyl mastering (or "cutting") stage of the process so that would mean that the grey variant would have to have come from a different acetate cut than the copy I got. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't know exactly why they would do that. Not that its completely inconceivable but it would be a weird turn of events. 21 hours ago, Derek™ said: This repress unfortunately sounds like ass across the board. Thanks for the feedback.

I'll put on my black tonight to check it out, but my grey didn't have sibilance problems. I do remember it had a different EQ than all the digital versions I've heard and sounded kinda funny. niblips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Please let me know. My copy came from Germany so maybe that has something to do with it. There appears to be a European release on black as well as an American according to Discogs. So maybe the European press is a separate cut and maybe they did a shit job.

Derek™ Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I'm really surprised the grey sounds so good compared to the rest; some friends and I snagged the peach tour variant and agree that it's one of the worst sounding pressings we've heard. Haven't chatted with anyone who's picked up a black copy, prior to McPherson, but I always assumed they would've sounded better. I guess I was misinformed and grey-marble is the way to go, for whatever reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
