kylekrische Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I skipped this thread a bit so sorry if it came up already, but does anyone else's copy sound pretty shit? Especially the low end? Just sounds to me like it wasn't mastered properly for vinyl, or maybe he's going for that trash sound. I was honestly worried something was wrong with my setup but after I switched to my usual 'control' records realized it was just my copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem in the low end, even my B&W DM4's deliver quite a rumble. As YouTwo pointed out, you should compare it to a digital source since the mix is quite edgy.

paranoidantroyd Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Anyone else get a black 12" instead of red or white? There's no pressing info on Discogs in regards to black but that's what I received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poweredbytrust Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 just received my standard copy. Beautiful packaging and awesome artwork throughout - much more expansive than that of s/t, which I dig. Just put on the record and it turns out it actually doesn't sound like ass, but rather the opposite. It's not the quietest pressing, but sometimes you also can't really tell whether it's surface noise or some kind of weird synth going on in the track. I'm stoked!

Yeah, this is probably my favorite packing and artwork from any release this year.  When I first put on my copy I thought it was suffering from some surface noise but after listening to the digital download, a lot of it is just in the music.  Edited October 12, 2016 by YouTwo Sidney Crosley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This album is really growing on me. Especially the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouTwo Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Yeah, this is shaping up to be one favorites of the year. Â Definitely top 3. Â And the fact that's it's only 35 minutes longs means I can throw it on when I don't have a whole lot of time to listen to something.

Tommy Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Just got the amoeba bundle in the mail. Maybe its been answered on here but why the hell did they need a 12" with extended versions of the album openers that are only a few seconds longer. I can barely tell the difference. Just seems like such a waste of oil and paper to put this out. OneThreeOneTwo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've wondered this too.  It made sense before the album came out.  But shipping WITH the album seems a little unnecessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is stupid though, but I'd buy 4 more of these with the other 8 tracks because I'm in love with this album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I've only listened to the 12" once. It's just because it's a 3 minute song at 45 rpm with tons of room to breathe. Anything sounds better pressed that way, the LP itself is a great pressing but these songs still sound better. Plus I meant I'd like extended versions of the other 8 pressed this way. I'm just weird and would vomit at the idea for a different record lol YouTwo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems like such a waste of oil and paper to put this out. The only difference I noticed is the added "reprisal" sounding stuff at the end of the two songs. They should've just had those on the album. I agree with the 12" being unnecessary, but it is nice to have those extended versions.    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiscodeman Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) I wish they would've released Heavenly Father on a 7" as a bonus.

tvham Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I went to the Oakland show on Tuesday night and as much as I love the album, these songs really shine live. Such an amazing show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
