fitterhappier Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Sub Pop always delivering good stuff now we just need new music from them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuckle Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Awesome news, grabbed the loser edition. Don't want to have to search for this in the record stores. Although based in Canada, we are still hit with a nice $20 in shipping and taxes. Bloody hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floyd_z Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Got mine today, what an awesome set. The albums are more marbled with splatters of other colors, which I think looks way better than the mockups. Subpop never dissapoints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloudsbelow Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Sounds so weird to my ears. I spent years in love with apologies and to hear it changed a bit just throws me off.. Distortion sounds a bit different here and there.. oh a tambourine i didnt notice before is now up front.. hmmm sounds good just sounds different and will take some getting used to.

Were the tracks actually re-worked? or is it just because the pressing quality is so much better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah thanks. I saw the EPs were remastered bit wasn't sure about the album. I saw this sitting in the local shop and was debating picking it up.

Cloudsbelow Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 yeah, a remastering can have a pretty drastic impact, especially when the original sounds like Apologies does. When you "brighten" up a muddy master things like tambourines/cymbals/etc can become more pronounced.. when you and some clarity and seperation you can hear things you didnt notice before. They were there, just not as in your face. The opening track thru me off immediately as it sounds almost like the track is clipping/distorted.. but really i think its just some crunch on the keys that i never really heard before. all good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam10647 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 FYI for anyone who missed out, I just ordered mine from Sub Pop I emailed them and they said the colored editions were still in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney Crosley Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I wasn't originally going to rush out to pick this up, but all this talk of the quality remastering has me thinking otherwise...may have to get it at a local store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouTwo Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I should have checked if the one sitting the local shop was a Loser Edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voltagedrop Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Saw them tonight here in Toronto and they were selling the Loser edition for $30. They also had EP4 for $10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
