travis Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 Crazy fast shipping. Thanks for posting those pics, these look much much better than the pics I posted and really shows how great this whole release looks Question for everyone who has this already....what do you think of the sound quality on this?

sharkticon Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I'll be putting it on in just a little bit. I'll report back. I look forward to War All Of The Time. My neighbors will know the words to Steps Ascending when I'm done spinning that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwgncpr Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Question for everyone who has this already....what do you think of the sound quality on this? I'm curious too. The CD really suffers from too much volume during the mastering. lots of unnecessary clipping and distortion. How does this vinyl compare?

dreamover Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I highly doubt this is pressed from anything other than the CD. I haven't heard anything about a remaster, but I may have missed something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 Personally, I thought the tests sounded really good for this but I havent listened to my swirl copy yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwgncpr Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I highly doubt this is pressed from anything other than the CD. I haven't heard anything about a remaster, but I may have missed something. That's what I figured. And while the package looks beautiful (great work, travis!!), I've been really hesitant to spend money on this album again unless the sound is dramatically improved.

firefoxUSSR Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Yeah no joke, the CD is just awful sounding. I did my own declip of it once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuffsux00 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 about to put mine on in a sec. i'm so glad i didn't wait for the store list or i would have been 'effed. was anyone else's packaging super massive? not that i mind, it was thoroughly bubble wrapped, the box was super thick. i thought i won like 9 extra vinyl from some secret contest haha.

veggiecorecords Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Question for everyone who has this already....what do you think of the sound quality on this? I'm curious too. The CD really suffers from too much volume during the mastering. lots of unnecessary clipping and distortion. How does this vinyl compare? I don't think it was a mastering issue but I could be wrong... The great Dave Fridmann produced this album - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Fridmann However, as much as I respect Fridmann, I think this album could sound better...if it had been recorded more in the vein of Full Collapse, or just from a producer who had worked with more bands like Thursday it could have sounded better.. It's tough because a lot of it sounds amazing and is most likely a direct result of Fridmann but in certain aspects like the screams, etc. it could have been done differently...Just spit balling here really... straight from the wiki-page: Fridmann often brings a distinctive, expansive, open sound to the albums he produces, which has much in common with that used by Mercury Rev. His albums have been frequently criticised for excessive clipping and loudness war mastering (such as The Flaming Lips' At War with the Mystics and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's Some Loud Thunder).

throwgncpr Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Thanks for the info. To my ears, it is an obvious mastering issue, but I'm not a professional, so I'd love to hear the thoughts of others. There is evident clipping and (unintended) distortion that are almost surely the result of too much volume. I didn't take notice who produced it before you posted, but it's interesting that the wiki post mentions criticism from excessive clipping from volume during mastering.

mymirrorspeaks Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Fridmann's production really killed this album for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 this could be a dangerous record to reissue on vinyl without proper remastering. travis says the tests sound good, so i'll be curious to listen tonight or tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
