wizzi Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 i'm right there with you keithlee. my red copy sounds horrible because of all of the pops, crackles, and surface noise. i've yet to spin my highlighter yellow copy, but i hope it doesn't have all of the extra noise like my red copy. it's really a pity about my copy, the music is so fucking killer, but it kinda gets ruined by the 'extra' noise. EDIT: i'd like to add that both of my copies arrived in almost perfect condition with no rips in the jackets and only very very minor rips in the inner sleeves.

deafmx Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 fuck, this album rules....despite A side pops and crackling. side B plays clean. ripped side A and i keep trying to edit it down, but i just keep jamming it over and over since it's so good and keep forgetting. ha.

Definitely check out their older stuff as well. More raw & unpolished but still has the overall Trees vibe you get on the new album. Each album has really good standout tracks.

sjb2k1 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 not really filling me with confidence for when i get my copy (2nd press) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafmx Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 why? Mylene Sheath just did ÆGES with Pirates Press. you're fucked either way. correct me if I am wrong, but isn't all (or at least all I have seen) of mylene's releases pressed using pirates press? a fair amount were, until the last year or so. Eksi Ekso was maybe the start of plant switching? ÆGES seems to be the first one that has come back to Pirates, unless the Caspian repress was also? i haven't even cracked that box yet. i saw what looked like a metallic gold in the pictures, so i don't have any faith in the pressing :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezfools Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I'm spinning this right now, soooo fucking good! Little crackly, but I don't have the best setup either, so whatever. My copy has several air bubbles in it, which produces bumps in the vinyl, after I get done with this, gonna see if those spots affect play or not..

appletree Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Welp here is to hoping that SOS replies to some of you guys and gals inquiries. Also did know about Charlie but by reading a little noticed that there are plans to repress Giants - Old Stories with new artwork...looks like I will be spending more money.

batman Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 i bought one of each variant because i'm an idiot. i'm holding out to listen til my buddy gets his in too, so i don't know how the sound is... but i'd sell one of the variants for $20 ppd--any takers? i like the highlighter one better than the red, so i'd probably keep that one. top of the sleeve has a bit of abrasion from where the record rubbed at it, but it isn't seam-split completely.

This sounds pretty "constant" in regards when the pops appear...seems like there's one special (colour) part on the lp that evoke this noise... Still haven't received mine here in Germany but, oh, do I hope I have more lucky... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, opinions seem to to go into both directions for this one as well...haven't bought the repress, but crusherdestroyer, sharkticon, lexicondevil & scotty stated that it sounds incredible! Really seems to be a game of luck here... :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a shame, as the music is so killer. I really hope this is not present in the second pressing :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appletree Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I listened to my white copy of the tertia re-press and did not notice anything. Now I was not paying close attention trying to hear things but I will spin it all again tonight and report back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appletree Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I think they are aware of the issue. Maybe they are avoiding it or something idk, they were posting on here before. Regardless mine is not too bad, but I could definitely see where some would be bummed out. Hopefully they use a different plant or something for the next pressing. Would probably be additional costs but also may be the right thing to do if it will fix the "problem". Best of luck to those who contacted them. PS: Just a suggestion, but I am all for people discussing issues and stuff here, although sometimes out of respect and chances of carrying on a constructive discussion, it is best to personally contact them and keep it on a personal respectful manner. I know some people do not believe in that, but typically it is more beneficial to your cause to contact them via email or private message.
