rooks Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 My copy is reportedly sitting on my front porch. I don't really have one so it's probably out by the sidewalk haha. Hope it's there when I get home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I'm thinking the hype was definitely justified; this record is leaps and bounds beyond anything Oathbreaker have released before, in my opinion. Love at first listen. LordZagry, elnombre91 and GhostTrail 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helsabot Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Yeah it's great, I'm loving it too. Reminds me of Deafheaven during some of the quiet parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Not shabby at all. I'm still a huge fan of the electric blue swirl, personally, and can't wait for it to ship out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stress On The Sky Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Got a feeling I'm going to regret ordering this and the new Planes Mistaken For Stars at the same time. It'll probably be late October before I get to spin this... :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour variant looks great and I'd definitely pick it up if I didn't have a copy ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DW sky blue variant has quite the noise floor, but really only noticeable in the lead in's and quieter sections. Overall, its a pretty decent pressing, but that album itself really exceeded my expectations. poweredbytrust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My blue variant has some surface noise, with a notable pop at the beginning of side B.

Gonna give it a solid clean sometime soon and see if it helps at all. It's the double edged sword of the format really. The actual physical playing of a record and it's surrounding environment can change so many things. Vinyl noise is almost always in some sort of surface contamination on any record. More often than not it is minuscule dust particles that are the culprit, on the record or stylus. A good cleaning will resolve a lot of that, however even the cleanest record can have surface noise that is noticeable in the lower end of it's dynamic moments, especially repetitive ones (your ear will notice subtle changes). This is why we try not to manufacture "Hazed" releases, as the process itself leaves so much surface dust/sand on a record, it isn't worth it from an audiophile perspective. Comparing vinyl colors in terms of "sound" isn't really something that will yield results based on color. Again, the X factor is always dust and contamination. Every time you take a record out of a sleeve, static brings particles to it. You'll never be able to run a proper test unless you were in a dust free NASA lab. Comparing a Test Press to the last record pressed of a 100k press would be an interesting experiment though. None of us press those sort of numbers though to do that. Plates don't deteriorate as they once did in the 70's and 80's, as we aren't pressing huge amount of records w/ the same plates in use. Plates are generally remade if they are lost, broken, or a release is moved to a new manufacturing facility. I can't speak for other labels, but we are strict w/ our Test Pressings in terms of quality. If we notice any abnormalities, they won't make it to press w/ any record. Hope this gives some folks insight into some things when it comes to vinyl. Thanks. -J. hallowken78, zaoza, LordZagry and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress On The Sky Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 EU deathwish store sent me a download so whilst I might be waiting on Planes Mistaken For Stars to ship before I get the physical edition of Rheia I can at least join the hype-train with the mp3s. Thank you Deathwish for always knocking it out of the park whether you're an EU customer or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wexzer Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I haven't received my vinyl yet, but I have already listened to the digital release of the record...and oh my, what a record. Definitely their best release, such a breath-taking album. My favorite release from this year so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
