batman Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Oh man oh man oh man that closer... What an album... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Looks like I lucked out (sorta...that B side scratch sucks), but I have a legit C/D. Looks like I do too. I probably would have given in and listened to the MP3s if I had to send it back. Glad that isn't the case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Seriously guys. Run Dry. WTF? I'd take an entire album of this. Unbelievable. And yeah that closer...a damn monster. This is next level shit right here. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youinreverse Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Got my 180g copy in last night. Listening to it now with Brian. I'm already in love. You guys are so cute together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickydenim Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 How is the 180g black pressing sounding from a surface noise POV? Hoping they treated this with well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I don't know if it's just my dirty/shitty TT but my copy was REAL noisey. The scratch was one thing, but overall it seemed very noisey. And I ran a brush with cleaner over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcha Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I thought the black was pretty noisy. Surprisingly the white sounded a little less noisy when we had to switch to the c/d of the white due to not having a 180g c/d. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circuit bored records Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 My white copy sounded fantastic after a clean and a brush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 My black copy isn't bad. A little bit during the quieter parts on the A side, but past that I didn't notice anything. It's a little warped though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliminator Jr. Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 EU-exclusive clear/black color-in-color via BSM The packaging is gorgeous! The whole gatefold has a glossy finish with the cover artwork being matte. Feels and looks incredible. And here's another look at the C/D-record: In my opinion this one turned out a lot cooler than the first LP, digging it a lot. The sound was not mind blowing on the first two spins. There was quite a lot of factory dust that didn't disappear entirely through cleaning with a brush, but playing the record will get rid of it over time. Awesome album, awesome pressing = happy.

Markwatson23 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Have to agree with you on the quality of the packaging. Why can't all records be up to this high standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 This was pressed at GZ in the Czech Republic by the way. I'd give these copies a good clean before listening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrewest Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Just wait until you get to your 3rd/4th listen. My God. The last song is pretty much the most perfect post-rock song ever made. There are so many different things going on in this album it's remarkable how it all flows together the way it does. The best way to describe this album is to say it's an experience.

Lorren13 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I didn't get an email from BSM but I checked the order status a few days ago from my original email and it said shipped. I have the tour and Newbury versions already and they are amazing so I'm anxious to get this in the mail to see how it compares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
