s_r0d Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I thought a rainbow had more than three colors... FlippingOut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCDELTAT Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Pirates Press posted pics of the rainbow: Should have gone with the black..... this doesn't look bad.... but it definitely is not opaque and will doesn't seem it will actually receive the award of "Prettiest record in my collection" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkinglot Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Obviously it wasn't going to look like the mock up. I just don't see why they defaulted to a tri color rasta themed variant. Need some of dat indigo and violet. and blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David The Gnome Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 If anyone is really that butt hurt over the way it turned out I'm sure you can shoot them an email and change your order to a 180g black; they are still available.

The Butcha Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I personally like the rainbow splatter. I like my BSM splatter more but yeahhh. Still one of my favorite albums of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcafilm Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Meh, not the worst outcome. I'll take it. May grab a bone/blue splatter to replace the first disc with though, it just doesn't fit the feel of the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadDonut Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I must be in the minority here but I'm diggin' how it came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidamnesiac Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I just don't understand the impulse to make these crazy-looking mock ups if you're not sure you can deliver something at least close with the final product. You're just setting people up for disappointment. rcafilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeromium Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 For comparison's sake: Glad I'm not a fan of rainbows and didn't order this. One shouldn't expect the exact same thing shown on a render, but this is WAY different. As others have pointed out, there are a number of obvious reasons why this is nothing like the mockup. I personally would be a bit disappointed. On the plus side, I'm super pleased with the way my olive/bone turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermyHewmatt Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Yeah, those are horrible compared to what was originally advertised. I ordered both rainbow and black. Which I'm glad I did. The "rainbow" vinyl looks ridiculous. I'd say they'll have quite a few disappointed people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkinglot Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I honestly can't imagine how many emails they're going to get from casual/new collectors who think they got the wrong variant, or demand a refund because it doesn't look like that.

GermyHewmatt Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Rightfully so. It looks absolutely nothing like what is pictured in their original preorder, nor is it a rainbow of any kind. Oh well, live and learn. You can't always trust preorders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcafilm Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 To be fair, Pirates Press photos are always crap, these will look better in hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 The description also says vinyl(s) if I remember correctly. Whoever made the mock ups was probably just told "rainbow vinyl" and just rolled with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
