cwhitmuzik Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Like others, I wish my pink copy was more pink. The A/B sides have small wisps of hot pink that look really cool, but they aren't too noticeable. The C/D sides probably have more green than pink. They sound amazing, but the jacket is garbage. what's wrong with the jacket? is this the embossed one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 what's wrong with the jacket? is this the embossed one? The EU ones are just super flimsy. They're not embossed either fwiw. Edit : Not 100% sure if all of them are not embossed. Green/white are not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickydenim Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Another delay for the deluxe black. Pushed back to 13th Nov. Just got an email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNEAKORDS Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I picked up a copy at the show tonight, haven't had time to give it a proper going over but my initial impression is the embossed gatefold is even better looking than I was expecting. The "pale violet" vinyl is gorgeous too, more of a blue/darker purple/translucent purple splatter, I was a bit concerned because the copy they had on the merch table looked like just plain old purple and not that good. I've emailed King's Road to see if I can cancel my coke clear (translucent green?) order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo72203 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I'm thinking of cancelling my yellow vinyl too, this is ridiculous. The purple looks way better any way. Listening to "Roads To Judah" on my clear vinyl copy right now... I fucking love this album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvv Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 to anyone who has the tour press already, how does the record sound? is it shitty like most epitaph/anti releases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcllnsn Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Apparently my violet copy is getting dispatched today. So excited for this record. Anyone know who Sargent House UK use for shipping? They've given me a tracking number but no company, so I don't know where to enter the number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacobMckinley Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Saw them in Portland the other night. God damnit, what a set. I just couldn't get into that opener though, it might have just been me, but the mix was god awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just couldn't get into that opener though, it might have just been me, but the mix was god awful. Yeah, I saw them last night and thought the same thing. I mean, its pretty common to have vocals too high in the mix at shows, but they were especially bad, way too up front and I just didn't like the guy's pitch and monotone rasp. The music itself was alright I guess, pretty generic, I zoned out pretty quickly, but better vocals would have improved everything. Deafheaven on the other hand, had one of the best mixes I've ever heard, everything sat right where it should be, vocals were kinda under everything like on the albums, nothing was overpowering anything else, no harsh frequencies, it was great and they were tight as hell.

I listened to about half of the Tribulations record yesterday and it didn't do much for me. Pretty generic is a great way to describe it. The friend I'm going with tonight wants to see them, I probably would've showed up later if it was up to me. Is Envy not on your dates? Sadly, no. They're hitting this coast next month.

SNEAKORDS Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 It just so happens that my euro 180g pink copy arrived today as well, so I compared it to the pale violet deluxe I picked up at the show. All around, I'd say that the violet press is the overall winner. The pink is pretty washed out and plain looking, as everyone else has stated. It arrived in fairly good shape for a record shipped from Europe to Vancouver, no bends or creases though there is a bit of a seam split on the gatefold and the inner sleeves, and the cardstock is pretty flimsy, the edges have a couple small dents. The records themselves are fine. It's nice that it came in a resealable poly sleeve, though lighter than I usually use, and the inner sleeves have an antistatic lining, which the deluxe didn't. I did get the poster with the pink, didn't get one with the deluxe. The cover is just so flat and plain side by side with the deluxe, the heavy gatefold, the embossing and reflective ink just makes it pop in comparison. Aesthetically, everything about the deluxe violet, the artwork, the materials, the vinyl colour way, is superior. I spun Gifts for the Earth from both, and while there wasn't a huge difference, the violet copy wins again. I don't have the best system (U-Turn Orbit Plus > Radial J33 Turntable preamp/DI > Apogee Duet2 > M-Audio BX5a monitors & KRK 10s sub), but the pink seems to have a bit of harshness and sibilance that wasn't on the violet, and there was definitely surface noise and a persistent tick in the outro that I couldn't see a cause for. I'll have to give both copies a proper wash later, but none of that was present on the deluxe copy. In loud sections both copies sounded very good, but the violet was better. monsterrod 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
