Guest Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Unwound are the greatest. I can't stop listening to them. I can't wait to pick up the new box. Rat Conspiracy is like my favorite thing ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The street date is Oct 14 I may have to order from them now to get it way ahead Did you get the extra bonus disc(I don't like how it comes out of the box). How is the sound on that?

kannibal Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 So side 2 of The Future of What has loud, repeating "scraping-type" surface noise across the entire disc, on both copies I've tried. Número was great in getting me a replacement when I emailed them, but it looks like this was bigger than just one copy. I'm waiting a response to the second email. I even included a sound sample of side 2 and a video of how off center side 1 was pressed. The other 2 discs (and bonus disc) sound fine. Just because I feel the need to share, Repetition is a near perfect album and is my favorite unwound album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I need to listen to this. Its been sitting on y shelf for a few weeks now. And the Sleater Kinney set just showed up It takes me forever to go through box sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crackles and pops are on my right channel only and audible even in the loudest and heaviest sections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderland77 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Yeah, Peel Sessions would be amazing... Maybe they're including it as an extra for the 4th box set? Would be amazing, I love that recording. Wow, I didn't know that there will be a 4th box set, sweet news (at least for me ;_)) Thanks, Nils Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd personally beat them up if they stopped now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Picked up the Rat Conspiracy set yesterday. Really nice package for a reasonable price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatnik11 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Sad to hear some people had problems with the latest Box. Mine sounds fantastic, there is a small out of surface noise but its pretty minor on mine. I actually had more surface noise on the previous 2 sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablod85 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I can't decide if I want to get the boxes with the additional LP directly from Numero, or get the normal versions for cheaper somewhere else. If somebody can give its own input on this, I would really appreciate it!Are the bonus LPs worth it in all three boxes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleon Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 (As a big Unwound fan) I'd say the bonus LPs for Kid is Gone and No Energy are worth it. The sound quality for the live shows are really good. The Faked Train demos LP for Rat Conspiracy I think you can skip. Even the album cover is pretty half assed compared to the other two.

If somebody can give its own input on this, I would really appreciate it! Are the bonus LPs worth it in all three boxes? If you are a big enough fan to consider buying the bonus LPs, then you should get them all from Número. It's live stuff and demos, nothing like unrelease b-sides or other cool studio material. None of the bonus LPs are essential, unless like me (and some others), you want it all.The first bonus disc is the coolest idea though. The 2001 band playing their entire first album live. Honestly, it wasn't as great as I'd thought it would be, but it is a very cool concept for a big fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I picked up Kid Is Gone a while ago for cheap and just got Rat off Amazon yesterday. Such a good quality box set. I'm just really surprised that they don't include a download code. jcastrianni 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliminator Jr. Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I'm just really surprised that they don't include a download code. They don't? Mine did. Did you check inside all inner sleeves? Mine were hidden somewhere deep in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess maybe static got the best of me and is still hiding in there. I'll have to check again. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost_Parlour* Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Damn, so tempting! If it was the boxsets with the extra lp's it'd be pretty broke right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 So I was just looking for any info on the final set yesterday but came up empty handed, only to see this thread bumped today. Of course me dreams were crushed when I opened the thread, but i guess i'm happy if more people get into this band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shameful Dread Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 May be time for me to expand off of No Energy, finally. Thanks for the heads up. You can still get them for around the same on Amazon. I just got Kid Is Gone for $34 shipped. So I was just looking for any info on the final set yesterday but came up empty handed, only to see this thread bumped today. Of course me dreams were crushed when I opened the thread, but i guess i'm happy if more people get into this band. Same but worthy bump nonetheless.
