faaip de oiad Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) Maynard wasn't aware that this podcast wasn't live. It didn't go like he had planned... That's why we got the news before the podcast. Edited July 30, 2019 by faaip de oiad dammit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobyblue Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Well the new high res remasters have been well taken care of, they’re not fully dynamic like the Hoffman SACD remaster of RATM’s debut which IMO is hands down the go to mastering of that excellent album, but while Undertow has lost some dynamics it’s at least on the same level as Ludwig’s original 1992 mastering of RATM which predates the loudness wars by a couple years. The unfortunate thing is, Ludwig doesn’t cut lacquers in an all analogue chain anymore. While I keep my fingers crossed that perhaps Ludwig mastered the digital and they sent at least the first two album’ tapes to someone like Grundman (which happened with the recent Eric Clapton 45rpm Vinyl, Bob did the digital and Bernie cut and mastered the vinyl AAA) or Kevin Gray to master AND CUT from the tapes for the vinyl, it seems unlikely...which would be a shame given how receptive Adam Jones was to the notion of doing Undertow and AEnima AAA. If the remastered catalogue is all done for vinyl by Bob then the high res downloads will be the source material, and while they sound good and thus so too will the vinyl, I can’t bring myself to pay extra for an additional step in the chain. Not to take away from the excitement of the new album tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fowty Dollaz Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Yeah, I'm not huge on the font, but whatever. Hopefully it sounds great. I really just want some quality reissues (i.e. Lateralus on black, Aenima that's affordable, 10,000 Days, etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not holding my breath for it but it’d be really cool if everything was released in a PO bundle on Wednesday. I thought I read a rumor - to be taken very loosely - that the reissues wouldn’t be ready until 2020.. But then again... with the way pre-orders work these days, that still doesn’t eliminate a potential reissue PO this week, I guess. dantheriver and Fowty Dollaz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One time I ordered a comp to help fund a documentary called A Fat Wreck. I believe it was 2014. Still waiting. The records currently exist, but the sleeves haven't been made. So, I guess I can wait till next year. Skacel and Derek™ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
