Newbury variants are typically pretty accurate to their mock-ups, too. dantheriver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewberinger Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 eh I don't even remember how the variant was described - if it was described as a translucent blue with splatter and turned out like that yeah that's shitty but I think it was just light blue with splatter so I just assumed it was an opaque base and most splatter attempts on that type of record are always either too streaky or not streaky enough since the NB one is a clear with splatter it'll probably look a lot like its mockup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of us have been on the boards long enough to know that mock-ups aren’t always a guarantee of the final product, right? And things like swirls and splatters can be a little ambitious with mock-ups, typically. I wouldn’t have said anything about it if there weren’t other variants out there to purchase. There are options to consider, which - for me - makes it a different animal than ordering 1 colored variant, and then shrugging when it doesn’t come out as intended. (But still feeling grateful that I was able to get in on a limited colorway.) There’s only like 2-3 of us being sticklers and overly weird about the variants... I would not let us speak for any larger demographic, hah. I know it’s super petty and weird and way too particular... but if it’s not discussed on a forum called Vinyl Collective, I don’t know where else I’d bring it up. tl;dr: don’t mind me or Dan. Neither of us are disappointed with Polyvinyl. rooks, N8TRU and dantheriver 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of us are disappointed with Polyvinyl. I wasn't putting anyone on blast, just saying I personally don't think it looks bad. We live in a society where people voluntarily drive around in ugly ass burnt orange cars. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that jazz.

We live in a society where people voluntarily drive around in ugly ass burnt orange cars. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that jazz. No harm no foul. I didn’t feel attacked by you or anyone else; I’m just self-aware enough to know how ridiculous it is to write 3 paragraphs about the pattern of a splatter on a piece of vinyl, and wanted to acknowledge it. And also clarify that I don’t feel slighted by Polyvinyl or anything like that. Super impressed this still hasn’t “properly” leaked — quite a departure from the early-leak game I’m used to. At this point I think I’m just going to wait, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved LP2 more than LP1, and sonically, I find this finds the sweet spot between the last two albums. I need to sit down with this when I'm not at work and give it a deeper listen, but for now I do not regret ordering this from BSM.
