whoshotthefrog Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Got my Baroness preorder today. I ordered a Black/Purple variant and a Purple Marble variant. They sent me 2 Purple Marble copies. I really hope they can rectify this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadreckoning Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Has anyone compared the cd to the mp3s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Shivers Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Got my Baroness preorder today. I ordered a Black/Purple variant and a Purple Marble variant. They sent me 2 Purple Marble copies. I really hope they can rectify this issue. I ordered the exact same thing you did from Pledge and was concerned that both albums came without a sticker or invoice to differentiate the two copies, I had to open to to verify. I was lucky and got the correct order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanRees Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Got mine today, just finished listening to the vinyl and was less than impressed with the sound quality, just played some of the mp3s and it bums me out how much better they sound.

Derek™ Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 ? Just confused why the MP3s would sound better. They're pretty blown out in themselves, and a lot of folks seem to be reporting that the vinyl sounds significantly better – as it should.

Le Gogh Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 I haven't listened to a FLAC copy. Did pledgemusic make that available? I bought my record at a local shop and the download was only MP3. The drum clipping really annoys me. The rest of the recording isn't nearly as bad as that. Yeah the FLAC files are available via Pledge Music. Still haven't had a chance to check them out. Maybe between Xmas and new year I'll sit down and try to compare them. Also, Desperation Burns is currently the standout track on the album for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwgncpr Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 seems like the vinyl (maybe it's my copy) has a lot more surface noise and clipping. My copy was clean (purple marble) and had much less clipping than the MP3s. The vinyl sounds way better, and its obviously a different (better) master. I listened to the MP3s in my car yesterday and was really bummed out. I may have to rip the vinyl myself. Yeah the FLAC files are available via Pledge Music. Still haven't had a chance to check them out. Maybe between Xmas and new year I'll sit down and try to compare them. Also, Desperation Burns is currently the standout track on the album for me. Please let us know about the FLAC. I love Desperation Burns - definitely one of my favorites on the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronniegwilliams Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Sorry for those that got rough copies of this. I plan on picking it up at my hometown shop while I'm back this weekend. Side note: "Shock Me" may be my favorite song of the year. How can you listen to it and not want to rock out so hard? The guy sitting next to me on the train must hate me right about now.

The guy sitting next to me on the train must hate me right about now. It's one of the two songs that immediately jumped out at me. So damn good.

iron666monkey Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Still nothing from Relapse. Days like these are when I really wish they would update their shit w/ tracking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Still nothing from Relapse. Days like these are when I really wish they would update their shit w/ tracking. Mine showed up on Tuesday (shipped priority) from Relapse. Guessing they didn't go out until late last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron666monkey Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Yeah, I'm not worried about it, just really digging this album and was hoping to give it a spin before heading to CA to visit the inlaws. Hopefully it will be waiting for me when I return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicondevil Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I finally got this on the turntable today. My wife walked into the room and said something was wrong with my speakers. Haven't had a chance to listen to the DL, but "blown out" seems to be a good description of the sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StandupPaul Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Still waiting on my record arriving, but I've tried to listen to it 3 times on Spotify and couldn't make it the whole way through. The songs are great, but the brick walling makes it practically unlistenable. Disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't had a chance to listen to the DL, but "blown out" seems to be a good description of the sound. I'm gonna have to spin this again because I think we have similar setups. I thought it sounded pretty good. *** edit *** It's actually kind of harsh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planetrakis Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 This band needs Matt Bayles, might as well seeing how everything is so Mastodon similar. The artwork design for the booklet is pretty much an exact replica of Mastodon motif. Kerosene starts out like a Mastodon song to the T, to their credit they did pull that song off.
