albert Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Just got this... The jacket is split, the vinyl is warped and the mailer was beat to shit to the point where the jacket had huge creases in it over all sides. Bummed That is terrible ( You should try to get your money back/get a new free copy. I still havent gotten mine. I hope mine arrives soon and in perfect condition.

cloud87 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Does anyone have a good DL link for this. Could you post it or PM me? I have a damn pair of 3D glasses, but no DL code WTF. For some reason the vinyl doesn't have a DL card. They announced that from the very beginning (even says so in the description of the record on hellomerch) and I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe because the vinyl record is by ORL but it's released digitally by Warner? ??? Guess you'll have to download it by "other" means. Also I got a shipping confirmation and it has some kind of tracking number (don't have it yet though as I'm in Oz). So if any of you guys don't have shipping confirmation you should prolly e-mail (especially if you're in the US). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Not sure I got a shipping email but it arrived today. Package is pretty forgettable but it arrived in good shape. I put it on the table and it plays music, so, you know, can't complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, Warner owns the rights to the album, RLP just got the rights to press on vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I wasn't expecting a DL card it's just lame that they didn't include it. I am still looking for a good DL link without having to do a bunch of bs. I used to always be able to find things on mediafire, but now it's not so easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kannibal Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Mine arrived an Friday. I listened to it a couple of times last weekend and it really sounds great. The LP mastering is so far beyond the CDs it's not even worth listening to the CD anymore. I may track down a vinyl rip to listen to on the go.

j67ab Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Bought mine today retail $28.00 Sounds Great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danoise Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Just ordered this off discogs for 40, which is more than I wanted to pay but every other posting has it much higher. The reviews say omar's label produced it and it sounds like garbage? Can anyone confirm if the audio quality is worse? I'm hoping Kannibal is right. Sucks it's not a 2LP :/ . not their best record but it really grew on me fast. I think one day people will really be wanting this one. I have the MOV represses of deloused and amputecture and the artwork is amazing..sound doesn't seem to be bad at all either. I can see Omars company cutting corners to save some money though.

Fowty Dollaz Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I'm pretty sure that this is a 2LP (orange and blue) and that it comes with 3D glasses and a poster. Also, my copy sounds fine to me. I haven't listened to it in ages. Maybe tonight I will. I'll report back if I notice it sounds garbagy. I don't think it does though. also, you REALLY just missed this being available retail for like $25 bucks. I'm pretty sure I saw it at my record store like 6 months ago for cheapish. danoise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danoise Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 They were saying the trebel is way too high. Idk, I'll probably be super happy just to have it. The seller told me he "priced to sell" it, and I did buy it like 10 minutes after he posted it. 25 would have been nice, but 40 (including shipping) isn't too much torture for my wallet. No record stores in my town carry volta, minus one who has a used copy of tremulant EP 12" for 30 bucks. 10 bucks a song though? No thanks. edit: oh , I had meant to say gatefold ,not 2LP.

Fowty Dollaz Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Ha, fair enough. Well, I think you'll be satisfied with your $40 purchase. I also like the album. It's no Deloused, but I like it. I go through "moods" with TMV, so I haven't listened to them in some time. I'll give it a whirl tonight. Too bad I don't have any recreational marijuana. shawnayala90 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danoise Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I think I may buy octahedron too for $30 right now while I'm feeling it. I'd totally throw you a bud if I could man! Yeah, let me know if you give it a listen and what you think of it after 2 years. Fowty Dollaz and shawnayala90 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowty Dollaz Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Will do. I'll probably just get drunk and put on the 3D glasses while I stare at the poster. Also, you should buy Octahedron. danoise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danoise Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 hahaha, that's probably what they want you to do. I really dig the lyrics in this record. "In Absentia" is one i'm really looking forward to hearing on vinyl. The title track is pretty decent too, really the Track I like least is the single..but I thought the video contest they did for it was pretty unique.

Two of my stores had it for $32 the same year it was released. 3D glasses don't do much with the artwork, but this is a damn catchy album. Hated it at first, but ended up loving the simplicity of it (with the added synths on some tracks). danoise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnayala90 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 love this record, was able to get a copy for $35 shipped at the end of the year so 40 isnt too bad! i think it sounds great, on par with any of the other 5 lps! i will say that i think octahedron sounds the best so i'd defintiely pick that up. danoise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Thanks for the shout out. I'm a big fan of all things Volta and this album was criminally dumped on. It always amazes me how many people just want an artist to make the same album over and over again. That's not to say that everyone has to like everything an artist does just because they enjoy the first album, either. This album has some very good songs that would make it onto a personal best of album. I'm also interested in checking this out again on vinyl. I do remember it sounding better, but it would be hard not to sound better considering how bad the CD sounds (DR3! 3!). I did think that the MOV Deloused sounded better than the CD until I A/B'ed them and thought they sounded exactly the same, so I'll have to check it out again before I back my initial SQ post. Also, I don't think that TMV vinyl really sounds great to begin with. It's not bad, but none of the LPs sound hugely better or different from the digital formats. danoise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowty Dollaz Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 So I just dropped the needle (again) on the first LP, and yeah, the sound is very good. No worries my friend, you are in safe territory on this release. danoise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunsetDramaKing17 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Just realized I've never spun this record. I got the deluxe package and kept it stored away. Now I will listen to it. I know I love this release though. Octahedron is their only album I can't get into. I don't even know why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
