Smellman Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I really do feel the pain of the fans that have ordered from these terrible distributors. Apparently, no vetting at all goes on when they choose who to partner with. It's the hardcore fans that pay the literal and figurative price , while more casual fans like me who were in no hurry got Broken and The Fragile shipped in perfect condition for $54 from Amazon. Pretty shitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The posters were crimped at the ends so sheared at the edges. So yeah, the prints damaged. Fuck. This. 8 hours ago, jhulud said: Received the two posters from the the new shipping company.

Mine were in a heavy tube with legit ends taped up, posters wrapped in paper, delivered three days after the order. I was pretty amazed they got something right. But the overall lack of shipping consistency this past year is mind blowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psus2h Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 So does Add Violence feel a bit underwhelming on vinyl, or am I just losing my hearing today? It feels very flat and a bit compressed compared to everything else TR/AR have put out recently. clerk3745, bungie and Group Buy Guy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyfranciosa Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 It sounds good to me overall, but The Background World doesn't have quite the same oomph as it does on the digital version. clerk3745 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DASiano Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Add Violence doesn't sound bad to my ears at all, but it is noticeably different from most records, and my ears hear it as being due to a comparatively much more dark EQ profile. Of course, I've done no wave form analysis-not that I would know how-it's just how my ears interpret it. I didn't change my receivers settings either. Cant compare it to any digital version, as I got this at a local indie record shop rather than order online. As others have noted, the EP doesn't come with a download, so I have the minor inconvenience of having to buy a digital version after the fact because I opted to support a local business. No biggie. Side note, two local indie record stores in my area have both new EPs, all the current reissues, and Deviations (which I understood to be limited and web store exclusive). As such, that's the route I'm gonna go for With Teeth, Year Zero, The Slip, and EP3 whenever they are due. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negavinyl Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Can anyone who has TDS Back to Black and the Definitive Edition compare sound quality? Also, does TDS definitive come with an essay/booklet like broken does. I saw scans of the broken essay all over and after picking it up can say that was worth the price of admission, so I'm wondering if TDS and the Fragile got the same treatment and if the liner notes etc are as extensive.

zdkaiser Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Is there any way to get a refund using PayPal after the 180 day window for filing a claim? I've been waiting for a replacement from Sandbag for my beat to hell copy of the Deviations album since July. After countless emails with Sandbag, they have basically just stopped responding to me. Apparently they sent two replacements out with no tracking from the UK. One in July 2017. Never arrived. Another in October 2017. Still waiting on that one. I was trying to work this out with the seller, but now that 180 day window is closed. I literally ordered this in Dec. 16, 2016, almost a year ago. What a joke. And now Sandbag is out of the picture. So I might just be screwed. Luckily Trent spit in my face with that petty 20% off coupon. Like I'd ever order from NIN.com again. Overpriced, damaged goods, with downloads that don't even unzip properly. Ok. Done venting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought both. I was just going to keep my Kevin Gray pressing but this weekend i decided to get the definitive also as it's my favorite album ever. I only listened once but my initial thoughts were the definitive seemed to have more detail but was missing some of that in your face sound/raw sound that the Kevin Gray did. I am going to spend some more time with both of them this weekend Edited December 1, 2017 by youspinmeround Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Via NIN wiki: Quote The B side of the vinyl is an etching with a cryptic message circling around the surface in a spiral fashion, reducing in size as it goes. It begins with lines from "Last" ("this isn't meant to last this is for right now") before descending into a rant, with some lines deliberately scratched out.

Muffled and muddy and kind of shit all around. Maybe we'll get a definitive edition in a couple years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
