Shitty Rambo Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 15 hours ago, Rip said: Well Amazon sent me a standard black instead of the “Amazon exclusive” that I actually ordered. And of course it looks like their variant is sold out now so I guess no point in going through the replacement process. That was the variant I pre-ordered as well (because paying with Venmo got me $5 off, making it the cheapest option, also I love not paying for records until they ship). Your comment prompted me to open my copy cause it's been sitting on the shelf since I received it, luckily it is a white copy. I really hope you're able to sort this out cause this definitely sucks 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMatrix Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I kind of wanted one of those "This is not our album cover" inserts but I guess only the indie variant had them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I suppose is better than nothing, but still very frustrating. Hard to explain that it’s what I ordered but also not what I ordered at the same exact time in a way for them to understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the indie exclusive and it’s pristine. Agreed! Got my Spotify variant Saturday and was able to spin it for the first time last night. Here are my thoughts: "Edging" made a lot more sense within the context of the album, but it's still one of, if not my least fav song. My pressing was super hot, and when turned up past -20dB, it SCREAMED. High five to whoever mixed/mastered. Though, did anyone else experience some weird loss of fidelity and bass during "You Don't Know What You've Got"? Some of Travis' stylistic choices with his own drums is probably my biggest gripe. As a drummer, and one who idolized Travis growing up, it seems he decided to gloss over his signature sound quite a bit on this album. The parts themselves, for the majority of the record, are completely Barker-esque, but the production choices on the snare sound and some of the flange effects on fills really bothered me. It's not every song, but most seem so polished it sounds like programmed drums. This could also be the overuse of triggers/samples too. Idk it's probably a niche gripe, but it's one that, to me, was completely unnecessary given his track record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMatrix Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I also notice that in certain parts the drums are very loud and kind of overtake the vocals and other instruments. DC1221 and ethanpricington 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yes chef Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Why am I seeing this called their “first ever stadium tour”? The place in my area is a smaller venue than where I saw them on the Honda Civic Tour in 09 and it’s not a stadium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the snare. Pleasantly surprised by the record overall though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything ends up leading back to the “return for a refund or replacement” option. Same thing happened to me. But I went and clicked on the item link from my original order and it showed I ordered the Amazon exclusive and still in stock so I did the replacement. We’ll find out tomorrow if they messed it up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
