I'm not happy about the fact that I can't straight-up just sit and enjoy it...instead I'm listening to find the differences and faults in it. It's not helping that I've had a shitbag week so far... I never listened to this before. My first album was red so this just feels like a new bunch of songs. Enjoying it more than I thought I would.

timsimmons Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) I never loved this record, but I enjoy the modern takes on the tunes, so this will probably get more listens than the original.

timsimmons Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Just arrived. Fine enough. Wish there were inserts for lyrics or at least picture sleeves. Basic direct to board sleeve, triple foldout. They must have taken the CD booklet pages for the inner gatefold and crammed everything on those 3 fold outs. Its very packed. Vinyl is gold, not tan.

timsimmons Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Comparison with a gold record I know was advertised as gold (oh sees - The Drop). so slight difference, but there is a shimmer to hers, just not as shimmering as a “gold” pressing.

jhulud Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Well...sounds like the Target red exclusive version is mo' better... But here's the question...how's that gold pressing sound anyways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 So far, I’d say it’s just OK. I only spun the first LP. Kinda thin in sound with some sibilance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Ok, tried Lp2 and then compared it to how Lover, Folk/Evermore were cut and those sound way better. My guess is they tried to cram too much on 3LPs. Hopefully Red will be done better (despite having 3 more tracks) over 4 LPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthyrich Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 [deep breath] Taylor Swift albums on vinyl just don't sound that good. It's not her fault, it's just the nature of the recording (digital realm) and the cutting (hi-res digital files). Unless you have a genius doing the mastering, like a Kevin Gray or Chris Bellman, you're gonna get that flat, "digital on vinyl" sound. I don't think her target audience particularly notices or cares.... But I'm also on the Hoffman boards, and the FolkEverMore records got a LOT of those older guys into Swifty-T. And they bought the vinyl, expecting SQ like a great Joni Mitchell 70s cut. (Or a great Kevin Gray AAA Joni reissue.) Aaaaand.... The FolkEverMore records aren't that. They're GOOD by Taylor standards, but if you mostly listen to 100% analog cuts from the 60s/70s/80s, you can tell the difference. I was a bit disappointed, honestly. But I learned my lesson after selling the 1989 RSD cuz the SQ sucked. MAN that thing appreciated. So I'm hanging onto Folklore for collectibility, and maybe I'll be tempted by a red vinyl of the Red 4LP (my favorite TS along with 1989)..... but it's too bad these records don't sound better on wax.

timsimmons Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I think her Republic LPs were cut much better than her Big Machine LPs. But yeah, they aren’t phenomenal. but this is just as bad as the BM cuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 But I also try to keep my Hoff browsing to a minimum because I want to still like music as I get older. lexicondevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nardes Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Saw on tiktok that the jacket of the target version is thicker than the standard version. Anyone have both and can confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) The spine is thicker, yes. Standard direct to board sleeve triple though. Target was pressed in France. Her store version was pressed by CZ N.A. In Canada. Edited October 6, 2021 by timsimmons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nardes Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) TikTok comparing the looks of the Canadian and German pressing not my video... just came across it yesterday Edited October 6, 2021 by nardes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
