jon720 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Just got my blue from asian man today. Showed up warped. Sad. The album definitely leaves me wanting much more. Got this yesterday and the same thing happened to me. I e-mailed Mike Park and he asked if I was ordering anything soon and he'd put in another copy. I ordered something today, so hopefully it'll show up in good condition. My box wasn't wrecked or anything, which is usually the case. Not sure what could've happened.

circuit bored records Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Just out of curiousity, when you guys say the record is warped, how badly are we talking about? I have a couple records (not this one) that I consider to be slightly warped where one side of it will lift unevenly off of the TT platter as it spins although all of those records play fine for me, the worst thing about it is how the cartridge bounces up and down on the record as it spins. I was also under the impression that warping doesn't usually occur in USPS and UPS transit unless left in extreme heat or direct sunlight for long periods of time. Could this have happened before they were shipped possibly? Super shitty for you guys either way, my blue black and white all showed up in tip-top shape like most AMR releases. Hope you guys can get replacements from Mike Park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certificate of Authenticity signed by Mike and everything! Still have to place an order for the regular colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 The warped records might be a result of the grooves on the record being uneven. The pink copy I got today is pretty warped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenn1664 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Mine isn't unplayable so I'm not going to bother Mike Park. I've also order 3 other variants of this so I'll live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylet Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Anybody else sorda let down with this record? Not complete shit, but to say it's half as good as their first is a stretch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circuit bored records Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 ^^^ I actually like it better than the first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedlee Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 couple choice tracks, but i'm not really feeling it overall. it doesn't feel very cohesive, but i'd still get stoked if they played a few songs from it live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess after the first one I just expected a much better record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannonball Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Just heard of these guys a fews wks ago through this board. Got both records today! Smoked a doobie and just listened to both twice. Love most of the first one...and really love the second half of the new one. Good band! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruffy...the janitor Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I picked up an extra blue copy of this at a show in Santa Cruz the other night in hopes that someone might want to trade for a first pressing (any color) of the s/t. If interested, PM me! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pickrunner18 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 this was just way too short. I didn't think I would mind after the S/T but damn. and they definitely start to sound like the strokes for a couple songs. likey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gutzonborglum Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 The way I see it, I bought it knowing full well the length of the album. I really liked it, so I guess I can't complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
