dreamover Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 well, this pressing sounds pretty bad. pressing quality is fine, but sounds like it's just the cd/mp3 masters. not surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the new pressing is an improvement from the 2LP but this one just sounds flat and dull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this thing sounds like early 2000s MP3s slapped onto vinyl. I went from listening to a film score to this and the quality was so different and I had to mess with all my settings just to get it to sound decent. Glad to finally own it, but not exactly happy that it sounds like butt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathPeak Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Confirming it sounds pretty flat. Eh, just glad to have a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlippingOut Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Pretty disappointing hearing a long overdue repress of this album sounds bad. It’s a shame cause the color in color and jacket are really nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we should all return it and say it sounds like shit. Not likely, but maybe then they will see they need to do a proper pressing.

I think half the time they just thrown that on any reissue to make people buy it again and think it is going to sound better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it is, since I finally caved and ordered last week. It never popped up anywhere else and it wasn't eligible for site promo codes, so I expected it to be excluded from any BF sales. I saw both Something Corporate records sold out, and decided it wasn't worth risking and waiting any longer for another retailer to stock it.

aharderharmony Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 They finally got back to me and referred me to route. Submitted my claim for a replacement. Forgot about route jaba1337 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchard Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Glad I passed on this, despite really, really wanting a copy of this on vinyl. Hopefully the band will eventually figure out the rights to repressing a remastered version themselves, or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewlucas Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Messaged them last night about the false description of being remastered audio. Told them I already own a copy that sounds like crap so I don’t need another. I asked for a refund if I send it back to them. We shall see. hallowken78 and Kyte30351 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecayToDeath Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Listen, I hate lazy compressed vinyl mastering with everything I've got, but being remastered isn't mutually exclusive with sounding terrible. Most of the time I try to go for the original masters these days since so many modern remasters just sprinkle Jack Shirley dust all over the mix until there aren't any dynamics left.
