Eliminator Jr. Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 postmetal-doomgaze, with war-like cadences. game - changer. I've entered a point where I could not be more excited for this to arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I'm trying to suppress my excitement of hearing your initial thoughts after that first listen... even though that's a couple of months out. For me, midway through the album I was already scrambling over Discogs and eBay searches to check the record's availability. When I discovered its rarity and going-rates, I was pretty crushed. Not as heavily or enjoyably as I was from the album permeating my headphones, but crushed nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ephemeral Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 That was a pretty expensive purchase but the album sounds so good i had to have it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliminator Jr. Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I'll be sure to let you know, Derek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliminator Jr. Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 In somehow related news, 'Coma Waering' is still available via retail for super cheap, in case someone's in need. Just ordered a copy locally and paid 12 bucks. I'll put it on hold though and wait for 'Weighing Souls' to arrive. I'll see what the other one has to offer after fully digesting the latter.

Evoke Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 One of my top 10 albums ever but it's not an album that you can play it all the time. Ordered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Weighing' is much much better than 'Coma', but both are pretty damn special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHOSTDRONES Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 There was some talk about the quality of the Coma Wearing press having issues, particularly the colored press. I don't have one, but it has made me shy away from grabbing a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eliminator Jr. Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Me too! It's waiting for me to stop working and do something meaningful. Like, finally listen to this.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress On The Sky Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Shit totally missed this the first time round, still copies available though so thanks for the bump people. Picked up an orange copy, got a plain black copy of Coma Waering already and it is gorgeous. I've been flirting with picking up a discogs copy of this for like two years....

Eliminator Jr. Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Crappy pic, but it's enough to see that the gold variant is indeed a nice and shiny semi-translucent gold. It turned out perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 That's exactly what I was hoping for. Damn, I'm pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurazz Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Wow. Is the gatefold glossy like the first press? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAXXX Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 getting to this late and bummed i missed out on the gold, but damn this album shreds. grabbed an orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Wow. Is the gatefold glossy like the first press? I don't have a first press, but I'd call it pretty glossy. The gold turned out amazing – I love how it's got a bit of translucency when held up to the light, but otherwise looks super opaque and gold. Like a few of the recent "metallic" pressings I've seen (Wild Nothing's Life Of Pause comes to mind), there's a really cool "wave" that ripples out from the center label, making it look like there's textures and shadows inside the record. Not unlike some sand waves, a la the album title. It's kind of perfect, and I'm a big fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neanderthal Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 So how does it sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliminator Jr. Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 So how does it sound? Without condemning the entire pressing, my gold copy is not great. Very noisy with lots of cracks and pops during the loud parts and some steady background hiss on the right channel on all sides. I washed it two times already, but will be sure to give it a third go. With that being said, after experiencing these (minor, really) disturbances I ordered a black copy via my local that is supposed to arrive today. I'll let you know.

ephemeral Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I was listening to my orange copy and it was great. I kinda ordered it on a whim since I heard so much about it. So massive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asphyz Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 My gold is quite noisey to be honest. Let me know how you get on with the black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 My gold is quite noisey to be honest. Let me know how you get on with the black. Did you clean it before spinning it? To heighten the sandy theme and aesthetic, my copy was audibly gritty as I took the records out of the sleeve. Unsure if it's just the gold copies, but there was a good bit of dust on mine. Not unlike a Pirate Press haze variant, honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliminator Jr. Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 My gold is quite noisey to be honest. Let me know how you get on with the black. It got noticeably better with another cleaning, but it still is one of the noisier records I own. The black copy has been thoroughly tested without sporting any issues of notice. It's most definitely going to be the one I'll return to more often. Do you clean it before spinning it?

Not unlike a Pirate Press haze variant, honestly. I've had the same experience with both the gold and the black copy. They'll never see the inside of those sleeves again, I had to promise. Also, Derek, I started working on a write-up for this. I'm sure it will get out of hand (it already did, honestly..), but it'll take a week or two more to be wrapped up. I had already finished a good dozen lines ready to be posted, but I figured it would be more fun to let this album fully sink in and not go all Gumbo on it.
