Photos of Alkaline Trio Goddamint (explanation)

[sgoodcore]

I still think the white one looks the best, as it matches the new artwork the most. Now I have the chromatic inverse of my original copy of Goddamnit.

The red/black and the red one look sharp as well. As does the red with black splatter. The other ones are wacky but whatever, they grow on you.

[timwt]

So now I have the new colors, but not the ones I ordered originally. Anyone in the same boat?

[bouncingsoles123]

Honestly. These don't look good.

Get your eyes fixed, these are very pretty.

[ocnypunk]

finally received the rest of my order from asian man. another great packaging job, very impressed. i guess they stepped it up a notch after many people were complaining. now just waiting on the new colors from VC and i am done with this set. the coolest ones are the bloodpact and the red/black split.

[jaaake]

Honestly. These don't look good.

not to pick fights, but what do you care? as far as i know you don't listen to or follow alkaline trio and cream yourself over minus the bear. i don't listen to or follow minus the bear, and i think the colors for their latest vinyl release look bad. did i announce it to the world? no.

while i'll admit the VC exclusive color and the green/yellow split with white splatter don't match the artwork and there's been a color fiasco for this release as well, it's the same record on each slab of wax. i'd much rather have this on 180g black vinyl so shit like this can just die.

These don't look good.

bummer

got my package from AMR today...i ordered the 4lp + cd set + a BP exclusive (which i ordered some weeks later, but mike emailed me he'd send it along with the other stuff)

opened the package...5 sleeves but only 4 records in it...BP version missing as well as the cds & dvd

quite disappointed...no answer from AMR to my mails yet

postal workers are fuckin up shit

[brady]

This has finally shipped to me.

[recordsyeah]

I still have not heard anything from Asian Man about my order. Do they send email notification when they ship?

Nope, the records just appear

[timwt]

Still no email or packages. Glad to see others are in the same boat.

Are there any colours of this that are confirmed NOT skipping/looping in san fran? All three of mine (white, blue, red/black) are doing it.

[anchorsup]

I don't remember mine skipping on San Francisco, but I've only listened to it once so far so I might have missed it. I have the VC color by the way.

[jon720]

Mine skips on the first song on the b-side. Mine also sounds incredibly distorted and shitty. I have 2 month old 100 watt speakers so I highly doubt it's them. Kinda pissed I just blew 15 bucks on this and it sounds like ass.

[ryanwood]

still havent gotten mine, but i ordered kind of late, so i guess they havent all been shipped yet

[shacknasty]

I don't remember mine skipping on San Francisco, but I've only listened to it once so far so I might have missed it. I have the VC color by the way.

I have that one on the way I think so hopefully that can be the one I'll use. Its not a skip, its a constant loop so you would definitely notice it.

I dont know much about records but just wondering if type/quality of needle could be responsible for inconsistent reports about the skip/loop? Is it possible that a thicker needle could avoid the loop and a thin one not?

[counterfiction]

another problem people may be encountering is that they are not putting enough weight on the tonearm. try adjusting your counterweights and see what happens.

[skumbucket]

i've adjusted the weight on mine -- even jacked pretty much the whole way up (down?) it keeps happening.

[counterfiction]

weird. i'll pull out my copies and try again to see if i can even create the skip.

[drdoom]

I've spun 4 of my 6 and haven't had a skip yet.

[jhulud]

Wait a minute! People actually listen to the records they buy?!?!?

Holy shit!!!! What have I been doing all these years buying records then?!?!?

[counterfiction]

all records cleaned with a carbon fiber brush first. records player on a Numark TT-200 Direct Drive with an eagle-claw styled cartridge/stylus.

bloodpact => no skips

sky blue => no skips

clear/red splat => no skips

solid white => no skips

red/black split => no skips

vc exclusive => no skips

sorry guys, I don't know what's going on with your records.

[timwt]

Finally got mine in today! Corners on them are dinged up, but otherwise fine. Now hopefully they won't skip...

[hinnsau]

mine aren't skipping either

If you're needle is too heavy, it will skip. Trust me. I had my needle accidentally set to like 4 grams on my shitty turntable, and I blamed it on the needle. I finally bought a tonearm scale, and realized I was at 4 grams when I should have been at 1.95. I readjusted the tonearm, and it hasn't skipped once in the last 2 years.
