tim Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 This thread is about good albums that sound so much better on vinyl that you acquired a whole new appreciation for them. I got Raised Fist "Dedication" off ebay a couple days ago. I always loved this disc and the band itself, but I had no idea that on vinyl it would somehow sound even faster and more pummeling. I can't breathe when I listen to it. Another one that comes to mind is Snow Patrol's "Eyes Open". I picked up for cheap and wasn't expecting much; it was just the best radio-rock band around at the time. But hearing it in analog, how it was meant to sound - not dulled down for the radio - it sounds so rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobe Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Lucero - Tennesse is my benchmark for how much better something sounds on vinyl as opposed to CDs. Other include: Hold Steady - Almost Killed Me Nada Surf - Karmic EP Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker Slint.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakland Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 The 180 gram reissue of John Coltrane's "Blue Train" is possibly the best sounding record I've ever heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomoleksy Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I remember when I got Full Collapse in high school and was blown away at how much better than quality was on record than on CD. I was like HOLY SHIT this is amazing. It pretty much sparked my interest in serious record collecting. Most recently I really heard a different in all the Pixies albums.

jhulud Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Led Zeppelin IV ("Zoso")...it was my dad's...I remember the first time I played it, I thought the earth itself was rumbling...it was so bottom-heavy and loud...Every once in a while I still put it on...Now, if I can get a copy of 'Led Zeppelin II' and play "Moby Dick"...I am sure that will tear down the walls of the room!

scottheisel Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 "You Must Be Willing," the B-side to the new Against Me! 7-inch, sounds really, really great on my player. Not sure what it is about it, but it doesn't sound nearly as good to me on my computer or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altarsofradness Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Fuck yes. I've never owned that album on anything but vinyl. Soooooooooo fucking good. I've got the picture disc. i wasnt even aware they made a picture disc of that album. ive seen Liar around a few times on pic disc, but never Goat. liar, goat, and down all sound so much better on wax. they really lose a lot on compact disc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n1590 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I know people are going to stone me for this, but juturna sounds extraordinary on vinyl. Somehow Anthony Green's voice sounds so much darker, sadder and slower. Hopefully On letting Go will sound as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
