CaptainHerbalLife Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Here's another shot straight from the artist. This splatter looks a bit better to me. For some reason splatter doesn't really do it for me if it doesn't drift far from the center label. /weirdhobbyist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hzielaskowski Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I totally hate splatters. Can't wait for my solid baby blue. It looks perfect on the picture above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickydenim Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I was just gonna grab this from my local on black but that baby blue looks so good. Is the only way to get it with the Tee & Poster bundle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellowtooth Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 yeah, a little underwhelmed by the blue splatter. i could grab it if i end up seeing her in boston (she's got them on tour) but I think I'm a little more impressed with the baby blue vinyl honestly.does anyone have in-the-flesh pictures of the newbury variant yet?

drds89 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Baby blue seemed to be the go-to Tour press option for Sheath releases for a while there, so I got a bit burnt out on that. Of course, that's also called "Carolina Blue" where I come from, and I went to Wake Forest - so there's a natural aversion built in. Sticking with my Splatter, ...if it will ever get out of Bell (Hell) Gardens Processing Center. 5 days and counting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellowtooth Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 They have them at a store 15 minutes from my house, I could just walk in and buy it. But I'm not sure if I want that, the baby blue, or the blue splatter.Decisions, man.Kinda leaning towards the baby blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freki Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Is that baby blue the same as the roadburn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Went the DC show last night. Great show, nice little venue, Chelsea always sounds great live. The first time I heard her live on YouTube I was very surprised how similar her live singing and her recorded vocals sound. This show was no exception. As for Abyss, I like it. It's very good, but I think the song sequence is bad. The album doesn't flow well. After The Fall should have opened the album and Grey Days should have closed it. Im getting more and more annoyed with artists destroying their art with bad production/mixing/mastering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Picked up a baby blue a couple days ago at Music Millennium in Portland if anyone around here is looking for one. ^I think I brought up John Congleton earlier in the thread but I don't believe I elaborated. For a guy who works with lots of dynamic-heavy bands, everything he touches just sounds so flat and lifeless to me. While perhaps an homage to On Avery Island by Neutral Milk Hotel, the newest Andrew Jackson Jihad album is sooooo gross sounding. Good songs but jesus, it sounds like crap. So compressed. Abyss feels like that to me too - a bunch of static mushed together. Everything else is very middle of the road and keeps me from appreciating this guy's production style.

aphasias Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Were they marked in any way? Or did you just happen to find a blue record when you opened it?

drds89 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Another great album from Chelsea. I'm dying to ask,Is it just me, or does it sound like she just had some dental work done on "Color of Blood," and they left the cotton balls in her mouth? I know she has the other mic doing the low voice thing, but this is like a sloppy S's / lisp or something. Is this a new vocal style I'm behind the times on?

I actually texted my fellow friend and Wolfe enthusiast the moment I heard it, with something along the lines of "So Abyss is good, but I think Chelsea is intentionally slurring all the vocals on Color of Blood and it's weird." I really don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daegor Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I'll have to listen again, but my ears heard an audio filter, not a slur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I'll have to listen again, but my ears heard an audio filter, not a slur It's almost like a lisp with the S, like Don said, if I recall. [edit] Listening now. Definitely lispy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know much about this guy or his work, but it sounds like we have the same complaints. "A bunch of static mushed together" is a pretty spot on for the parts it describes. Sound doesn't have to be clipping to be in your face or be a wall of sound.At the show she had a GREAT distorted guitar tone with body and texture. If that same tone is on the album, I wouldn't know.
