thischarmingman Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I have nothing to compare the vinyl to, but the reissued CD sounds exactly the same as the old CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thischarmingman Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Try investing in a pair of headphones that aren't made by Skullcandy. You got me. It's definitely my magical shitty headphones altering the sound of the reissue to make it sound exactly like the old CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely my magical shitty headphones altering the sound of the reissue to make it sound exactly like the old CD. I'm not sure what to tell you. I listened to the reissue as soon as it leaked, and heard an an audible increase in quality right off the bat. How were you listening to it? Because in my defense, I was indeed wearing headphones. (And nothing fancy, no less.) Blaring it through [most] speakers may muddy the new clarity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooManyHumans..... Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 My side B pops all through the first song, awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kforkevin777 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I got my blue in today. It looks great! But from what I'm reading on here, did MerchDirect just leave a box of them out in the sun for two days? Mine has a pretty noticeable wave to it, especially when listening to side A. It's not so bad on side B. it sounds pretty great. The vinyl sounds better than the copy of the CD I have on my computer. I'm gonna get the reissue when I get back on my laptop later.

mdb Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 My copy isn't as flat as I'd like, but not bad enough to complain about. There's zero surface noise and the remaster sounds goooood (big improvement over the original, imo). I like the sky-ish blue, considering the cover art.

kforkevin777 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Yeah, mine's not bad enough to send back, or it affects play or anything, I just think its ironic that multiple people are saying theirs is warped or uneven. But yeah, I definitely think the sky blue compliments the cover art well. I'm impressed by the sound quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdb Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I just think its ironic that multiple people are saying theirs is warped or uneven. Agreed. I get a lot of records like this during the summer but it's rare during the winter. I was surprised they didn't put any cardboard padding in the mailer; it was crushed so bad I was kind of nervous to open it. TCR seems to take shipping much less seriously than other labels.

rkfoster8 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Mine seemed to be in pretty fair condition. I'm just happy I finally have this on vinyl and didn't shell out $100 for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rivalsandlovers Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 My blue copy came Friday. No wave or warp at all, looks fantastic... I haven't listened through every track yet, but thus far it sounds great. In terms of the physical record, there are some light pops here and there, but nothing major and no more than you would hear on most new records. In terms of the music, you can definitely hear an improvement in the overall quality of the sound. I have owned this cd for all 10 years it's been out and I had an original pressing of the lp a while back... I think it should go without saying that this is the best this album has ever sounded and short of re-recording the entire thing, I don't think it could get much better at this point.

legendsneverdie Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Why are people writing reviews for a variant?Oh, because it's a Brand New thread. haha It's an anticipated release, when things aren't what we are hoping for people get disappointed.
