whoa Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I love when discog comments are like old man ramblings. Anyone getting distortion? Radiohead came to my school, back then I used to like milk warmed up on the radiator, but my friend became lactose intolerant and we always thought he lacked toast and was being tolerant of that. He went on to become a famous drag queen and my record sounds scratchy towards the end of one track because I have a shonky 1940s tuba attached to a diamond my ex girlfriend gave to me when she ran off with Marc Bolan. timsimmons, thetrackt, ghjghj and 3 others 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExtraFox Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 15 hours ago, Derek™ said: Discogs is notorious for knee-jerk reviews from people who’ve never wet cleaned a record in their life, and are shocked that their entry level Audio Technica table is suffering distorted playback. I take the reviews and comments on that site with a massive grain of salt. There's a significant number of reports of problems (both US & European copies) over at Steve Hoffman as well. The one thing that place is not is full of noobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just attempting to warn about the general validity of the Discogs comment section. But yeah, a broken clock is still right twice a day.

MacDonals Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) My copy of the black vinyl arrived today and in general it sounds good. I do hear the sibilance people mentioned on "How To Disappear Completely". I try not to be precious about pressings, but it's pretty noticeable. Kid A side two is mislabeled as Amnesiac side two, which was very confusing, but the audio is correct. I'll be curious to see if anyone sees this issue.

Shelby Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I'm used to the original pressings of Kid A and Amnesiac and other than the clipping in How to Disappear Completely this new copy sounds pretty fucking close to how good the OPs do. I didn't get to listen to disc 3 yet but early impressions have me excited to do so later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) I think the 12” XL pressings have been the best of the 4 big pressings (10”, US Capitol, XL 12” and KidAmnesia). my KidAm is clipping free and generally well pressed. But I think those XL pressings sound a bit more robust to my ears. but the hype for this has caused me to go back to Amnesiac a lot more over the past 2 months and Damn, while not a 10.0 Radiohead record, it may be the best of those that aren’t a 10.0 Edited November 8, 2021 by timsimmons Shelby and whoa 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timsimmons Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) I’m sure any Radiohead fan would agree with that, but I’m talking widely accepted stone cold classics vs the rest of the catalog. And OKC, Kid A and IR seem to be the solid choices there. Edited November 9, 2021 by timsimmons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Personally I think HTTT is too long and could lose 2-4 tracks. I’m open to AMSP being a 10.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twatay Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 The OG clear record industry pressing of TKOL is a 10 in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although personally I'd include Amnesiac as a 10 to make it 5 total. timsimmons 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own OG 10” presses of both and bought this one. Mostly for the 3rd LP of b-sides, but also to have both albums on single LPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a collector, I really couldn't be bothered to play my copies of Kid A because it was two songs per side and when I'm sat down working it's a pain in the arse having to get up every other minute. Also I didn't own Amnesiac. I guess if you wait until Black Friday/Christmas, you'll find these cheap when every bitch is throwing their copy out because it's ever so slighty off-centre and their shit player can't handle it.

untiliwakeup Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Got my copy of the red 3xlp from Luna. Instead of the outtakes/demos LP, got an extra LP of Kid A. Said there’s no way to get a replacement disc. Pretty bummed. If anyone got 2 copies of the bonus disc and is missing a red Kid A disc, let me know.

Do both of those Kid A discs have the same issues that a lot of others are experiencing (right-channel distortion on the last half of How To Disappear Completely, and popping throughout Motion Picture Soundtrack)?
