vinyl addict Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I just did a search and couldn't find a definitive age. I know when I was a teen (I'm 37), the age was 18. I used to have to get my sister or parents to buy said album. I specifically remember having a problem trying to buy White Zombie - La Sexorcisto when it first came out.

Funny you mentioned Zombie, I remember that one specifically except it was for Astrocreep at a NRM. Then I went to a Sam Goody and they didn't care. vinyl addict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was 10 years ago or more. vinyl addict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 The bigger question is what the hell is explicit about this album. Plus, these stickers seemed way more common in the 80s and 90s. Pretty non existent these days or at least for things I buy cfrancese5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty non existent these days or at least for things I buy For the most part I think it's required to be in bigger chains like Walmart(may be a bad example, do they still sell only the edited versions of albums?), Target, etc. If your album is only being sold online and in local record shops it seems way less common.

Juturna90 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Exactly ^ I thought chains like target, Best Buy etc were required to ID people for PA albums. My local record store never bothered to check my ID at the time and I was buying some since I was 15. It's a compliance policy for bigger chains. And yeah, Walmart only sells edited CD's as far as I know but it's been a long time since I've even looked at CD's there. pizza face 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrewest Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 After about 7-8 listens I think I slot the songs this way... Doomed User Geometric Headdress Hearts/Wires Gore Acid Hologram Prayers/Triangles Rubicon Phantom Bride Xenon (L)MIRL Pittura Infamante I put the space in between because those first 6 are all so close together in how much I like them. The next batch hasn't done much for me yet. Phantom Bride impressed me on the first listen but the more I hear it the less I like it. Sounds like the biggest oddball on the album & the least like a Deftones song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like Rubicon is one of the stronger tracks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psus2h Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I guess the yinzers in Pittsburgh didn't care about PA labels. They sold me whatever I wanted to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I definitely can't say I actually dislike anything, I just kind of figured I'd like Phantom Bride more than I do right now. But this is one of those albums where a month from now I'll probably completely change my order. But man those first 5 songs flow together PERFECTLY. And I actually like how the album comes down a bit with Pittura --->Xenon--->(L)MIRL before it picks back up with Gore. And I've had some sick visualizations of hearing Gore live & going ape shit when the chorus kicks in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejc625 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 A few early favorites are: Gore, Phantom Bride, Rubicon, and Acid Hologram. I do love them all though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only complaint I can level against this record is that there's some riffs that just feel a little overly simplistic (intro riff to xenon) or out of place with the rest of the song (that thrashy part on doomed user)... but these are minor gripes.

markok Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 So what the fuck guys, does the vinyl press sound good or bad then? I cant tell since I dont know whether you are listening to it on a Crosley or VPI. Im interested in the EU press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 My white records sound great on my less than stellar Sony TT. Some static but not very noticeable at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've come to love that thrashy part in Doomed User. But I agree with your point overall. I think it's (L)MIRL that suffers badly from that. The badass post-rockish intro into that guitar that sounds like it was plugged into the first amp ever made really hurts that song imo.

I cant tell since I dont know whether you are listening to it on a Crosley or VPI. Im interested in the EU press. Though my white copy is less than perfect it's still enjoyable for the most part, certainly nothing out of the ordinary or a deal breaker. I cleaned my copy on an RCM and played it on a Music Hall mmf 7.1 through nice headphones/speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfrancese5 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 My white copy which I played back on my Pro-Ject Debut Carbon sounds poor. I spun 5 or 6 records after Gore and they all sounded way better... I don't think the digital version of the album sounds great either just "butt" production.

scottiek2 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 My black copy is pretty damn good. Would recommend a copy of it! Ordered with Australian pre-order, so not sure what pressing I have. Playing on Rega RP3 and Marantz gear. Edit: just checked, it is the US copy. Just playing Phantom Bride as we speak. Sounds huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntslash Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 My white copy sounds very good. Playing it on Pro-Ject Debut Carbon with Ortofon 2M Blue. Loving this album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
