OneThreeOneTwo Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Labels always be adding words to make a generic variant sound more special. erasedtapes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erasedtapes Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 So it is just clear, then? Glad I didn't hold out for it if so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneThreeOneTwo Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Since there's a microscopic chance I'm wrong and VMP are crazy enough to press a lathe cut on glass Peter King-style I guess I don't want to say "100% Yes"? I wonder if it's some kind of frosted glass treatment that is more than a just clear come to think of it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I think it might be their way of saying "ultra clear" or whatever equivalent looks clear like a window. At least I hope so. OneThreeOneTwo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I hope so. Don’t forget that they’re trying pretty hard to reinvent the variant formerly known as “coke bottle” into sea glass. I’ve seen it a couple of times on their product pages. I think their endgame is to get newcomer vinyl enthusiasts to clean all their shit with Windex. erasedtapes, OneThreeOneTwo and Tommy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lethalenforcer Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 So the VMP “clear glass” is up. So they add “glass” to the title and it’s suddenly different than the UK Indies clear version?

If you clean the UK variant with some windex, you'll get the VMP version. Shelby, erasedtapes, backpackoat and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DecayToDeath Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Grabbed a VMP. I do wish it was more distinguishable from the other clear variant but apparently it was the band's choice for some odd reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneThreeOneTwo Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Guess I'll splurge on a RT yellow & grab their version of Here Lies Man's sophomore which is also something more than your bog-standard clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) This album is pretty good. After all their talk of "reinventing" themselves I expected a little more experimentation though. Wish there had been more tracks like Black Car that had a little darker feel to them and heavier, deeper synths. Overall it's another Beach House album, which is great...but pretty interchangeable with most of their albums. The vinyl itslf was very quiet and nice. I actually sat and listened to this with headphones on, whcih I rarely get to do and got no surface noise, and didn't notice any distortion.

I received shipping notification yesterday so I hope it makes it to me by Friday (WA to WI is a long trip for media mail postage haha). Haven't listened to anything beyond the first two singles so I'm excited listen to it all at once! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiscodeman Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 My yellow copy had some distortion issues during the last half of side A. I think only a copy pops here and there on Side B though. I want a copy of the VMP clear glass variant, but I think it's sold out already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually sat and listened to this with headphones on, whcih I rarely get to do and got no surface noise, and didn't notice any distortion. I gotta disagree here to an extent. The album to me, at least for Beach House standards, is a massive branch out. It's definitely still BH and has their signature sound, but I love that they just went wild in the studio with every track. You can really tell right from the first track that it's a sonically expanded experience, which is crazy given that they've always made lush soundscapes their trademark. Black Car best song for sure though! I also seriously dig Woo and Dark Spring... and Lemon Glow... L'Inconnue... The second half of Dive... Drunk In LA... Fuck, this album is really good. I guess I should grab me a copy of the loser, after a lot of back and forth I think yellow looks best. The insert and holofoil on the cover really sell it for me. erasedtapes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
