mcpherson123 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Stupid question alert!!! Anyone aware of any stores that still have this available for sale? Everywhere I've looked is sold out. merchnow, interpunk, src, insound and amazon... snooze you lose I guess pretty sure you can still get it at interpunk. it just let me add it to my cart. DON'T BE FOOLED!!!!!!! Sorry. But unless the item says that its "In Stock" during checkout, you can count on more than likely NOT getting it.

mcpherson123 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 ^ Haha! Yeah, I got that too! Mine was cheaper when I ordered so I got less money back but still. Good deal. Concerning the actual album: Anybody feel that the overall fidelity on this thing is pretty lacking? I mean, I know the CD had a pretty lame mastering since it was probably recorded on a pretty low budget but this LP just doesn't sound that great. Side A, that is. I dropped the needle on a couple points on Side B as I had limited time to check it out and the stuff on Side B sounded a bit better. Its very inconsistent. Plus, I have to turn my volume knob way up to get the same amount of loudness from most other records. What's the total running time for this album anyway?

brosgetstoked Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Thank you amazon.ca for overselling this. Even though I preordered it from there on Day 1 they didn't any available for me when it came time to ship. Just tried Interpunk because they said they still had some in stock and it was sold out there too. Next time I will just stick with SRC.

almightyseancore Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Next time I will just stick with SRC. never thought i'd hear someone say that. What's the total running time for this album anyway? the vinyl is about 36 minutes total because it's lacking the secret track. also, i agree with the volume, but i still think the quality beats the hell out of the cd, and i've been listening to the cd for over 10 years now. this is my first time to hear this album on vinyl and i could tell a difference right away. also, i don't believe the album was recorded on tape, so you're getting a digitally recorded and digitally mastered album pressed to analog, it's not going to have the sound a proper analog recorded album should have.

Haha, well I've only ordered from them twice so far so maybe I just need to give them some more time before they disappoint me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you're saying about the digital recording/mastering but I've got plenty of other records that I know were recorded digitally and they still sound way better than this thing. I noticed that the guitar sounds really weak on the first few tracks much more so than the CD. I don't know. I'll give it a few more spins and see what I think then.

serum7 Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 FWIW I thought this sounded much better than any previous CD copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tipyourbartender Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I recorded a demo with my old band at the same studio SSTB was tracked at. With the same engineer, Jason. It was around the same time too. It was pretty much an above average home studio. Nothing fancy at all. This could offer some insight as to why it doesn't sound amazing.

mcpherson123 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 ^Thanks for the input. It definitely shines some light. I listened again all the way through and I'm warming up to it but the guitar is mixed way too low on some of the first songs. You'd think they'd address this when mastering for the LP but I guess not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I listened to my copy last night again to double-check and pay more attention after reading the recent posts...to me it sounds a bit more clear and crisp than the CD but I did have to turn it up more than usual for any other record to really get the full sound. I'll listen to my OG copy tonight and see if there are any differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyboy Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Does anyone have an extra VIP pass that they would be willing to sell for a fair amount (i.e. not inflated ebay prices)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dethrock Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I finally got mine in the email today. The poster was signed too! Are the posters numbered? My poster has the dragonfly and 2011 on the back and I don't know if that's just the year or if it's numbered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
