rthursdayx Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I haven't read much of this post but I am psyched that it's getting repressed since I missed the RSD release are there any variants that I should know of like is hot topic getting a colored vinyl or is everything going to be on black vinyl? any information would be appreciated. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 As far as I know it's all just black vinyl, no variants or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RESCHAR Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I don't know if I'm just having really bad luck with my vinyl atm! But is anyone getting distortion on the vocals on this? Notice it pretty bad on the break down of One Armed Scissor :/ Also both copies from Amazon are warped. Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I got my copy from amazon UK yesterday and my LP's are slightly bowl shaped and I did notice some crispy distortion on the vocals pretty much throughout the first two sides. I have yet to listen to C and D. I notice that the mastering on the instrumentation sounds less polished which is cool. Mine is the UK manufactured version through Transgressive though.

heypeterman Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 My copy from amazon UK isn't warped and there is only mild distortion in the vocals on 'One Armed Scissor.' I'll play my RSD copy and listen for the distortion. chrisapple 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withengineheart Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 My copy has a slight warp but isn't too much to bother. Didn't notice any distortion but I was washing dishes during the first listen. Good to know, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have the UK RSD version right? I didn't notice this on my RSD version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffbloom Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 My Amazon UK version should have been here yesterday and still nothing. Amazon has never been wrong for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadbrokerekerds Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Just got the black copy in the US (2xlp on twenty-first chapter). Pretty disappointed by the sound on this record, very distorted and thin and tin-ny. Sounds like it was pressed from compressed files or a CD or something. Does anyone know if this was remastered or pressed from the actual masters? I feel like this record should sound sick on vinyl. Anyone know any more? I see a few comments that agree here.

Shameful Dread Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I feel like the guitars are too compressed on the recording itself for it to ever sound that good. This album has some of the strangest production I have heard. Cloudsbelow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's your answer: In an interview with Alternative Press in September 2010 (in an article praising the album 10 years later) when asked "What's your least favorite thing about the album?" Rodriguez replied: "In a heartbeat I could tell you, one of my only regrets out of everything I've ever done is the way that record was mixed. People think that was a raw and energetic record, but what they're hearing is nothing compared to what it truly was before it was glossed over and sent through the mixing mill that was Andy Wallace, who is a wonderful person and a very talented mixing engineer and has done great albums – I'm not trying to offend him....and I understand he had the pressure of the label and all the people who had dreams of it being this grandiose thing, and being played on the radio, which it was, (but) that record is ruined by the mix. I just find it the most passive, plastic....It's the one record I still to this day cannot listen to. MahPah and Cloudsbelow 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
