AlexH. Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 I think it's very funny that big labels are now starting to put an eco-friendly marketing spin on the same recycled vinyl option that punk labels have been using to save money for the past, oh, 20 years. I wanna say Ed Sheeran just did the same thing? drewberinger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna say Ed Sheeran just did the same thing? I know that the mockup on the bandcamp link you shared is your typical "recycled" sludge brown, but I will say that there's been a wide variety of colors and opacity with these new Eco presses. (Yet to be determined if they sound okay; I haven't picked up any for myself just yet.) At least there's not a 90% chance that they'll be some shade of purple, brown, or putty grey like the "mystery vinyl" of the last 30 years have been.

stillalivetui Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Anyone else get the limited print over the weekend? Also, does anyone have a spare digital code to spare? I didn't receive one with my preorder nor via email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetrackt Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Gotta say, personally I’m not going to buy eco vinyl at all anymore - sounds terrible I think. Great album but the eco pressing is rough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great album but the eco pressing is rough. I got one of the eco pressings. Records are a higher weight than usual (not 180g, maube 160g or 170g), also really like how the artwork looks on the recycled sleeve. Have yet to listen to it but it doesn't seem like they half assed this or cut any corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 This record is so fuckin' good, and makes me feel like an idiot for sleeping on Big Thief up until now. I've already gone back and bought their first record (which is also great!), where should I go next? Shitty Rambo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capacity is probably more similar to Masterpiece than their other work. U.F.O.F. Is a very Earthy and chill album and the self titled song is probably my favorite song of theirs. Two Hands is a bit more rockin’ than most of their work. scottheisel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFOF is probably my favorite album by them, follow that up with Two Hands since they're essentially companion albums, the former being more "wet" and tranquil, the latter more "dry" and barren. scottheisel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawhizz Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Any other opinions on either vinyl pressing of this (eco v. black)? Thinking of picking it up but have noticed complaints about the eco press and not much chatter at all about the black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't speak to the eco unfortunately but I can offer further confirmation that my black copy sounds great, no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's 3 different plants that pressed this do you know which plant yours came from? It mainly depends on your location there is one for the US, one for the UK, and one for everyone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
