OU818 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 This is a great album and if you don't like it, you are a bad person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwaysopenmouth Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I have an og copy of this but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want this. So I’ll hold off on a physical copy and wait for that remaster to hit Spotify i hope the actual record looks half as well as the mock-ups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this year would be a low budget year for vinyl, but some great 1st presses and box sets are pressing me to add another set of cubes to the shelfF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morfiend Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I snagged that Squalus LP earlier as well, I slept on that one when it was originally released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwaysopenmouth Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Got Cenotes in today and it looks great! Props to TLR for shopping the record outside of the jacket to avoid seam splits. Can’t wait to spin it, it’s such a killer EP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLR went through a rough period a while back about the time Rosetta was winding down their contract with them, but they have really gotten their vinyl game on track, even the proper shipping like you said.

I really like the quality of TLR vinyl, but am I the only one who would like more simpler vinyl designs? Not a huge fan of pinwheeled splatters with million different colors :D. Relapse does that too with almost all their releases. Edited July 25, 2021 by Portsi seku 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said, Relapse and TRL both go for the zany pinwheel splatter merge color-in-color variants. I respect the ambition but more often than not, it’s just such a streaky mess of colors or completely misses the mark from the mock-up. I kinda’ wish they’d chill out a bit… especially since both of them are notorious for increasing the price with the rarity / complexity of each variant on a release.
