plasmaterial Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I ordered one copy each from Hotstuff and Bengans. Received my copy from Bengans this week, nothing else came with it though. Still waiting for the copy from Hotstuff (and after having to pay an extra $10 for shipping). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinylized Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Let us know when you receive your copy from hotstuff. I haven't received mine either and I'm kind of worried now... And now that you've listened to the LP, how does it sound when compared to the CD?

SoundHound1973 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I saw the red vinyl version in stores today, but my preorder from MyPlayDirect has not even shipped yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingnatural Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Because I've ordered this clear LP from hotstuff.se and paid US$50 for this damn thing. The description didn't say a thing about any additional booklet, though! I remember reading that the signed booklet was only included with Bengans orders.

vinylized Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 And that Year Zero 10'LP, what does contain besides that song??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinylized Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Ok, just received mine today from Hotstuff.se It looks good, but I regret paying 50 usd for it, as it isn''t as heavy as the seller told everyone who pre-ordered it, just in order to ask for additional usd $ 10 due to "additional weight". The lp was pressed at 140 gr. Besides, the vinyl is clear...and actually there is a pre-order for a black vinyl coming out these days...damn... Does anyone knows here the differences between clear vinyl and black vinyl in terms of sound and longevity?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steventangent Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 soooooo...if anybody needs a ticket to the Detroit show on 5/17, I have one to sell at cost. Not gonna be able to go :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingnatural Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Does anyone knows here the differences between clear vinyl and black vinyl in terms of sound and longevity?? You can play the black version about 100 times but you'll only get about 66 spins out of the clear version. They will disintegrate after said number of plays.

withengineheart Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 And that Year Zero 10'LP, what does contain besides that song??? A. Year Zero B. Orez Reay (yeah.. the song played backwards.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shifres Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 A. Year Zero B. Orez Reay (yeah.. the song played backwards.) lol, "Look, we don't have any other B sides... so.... ehhhh.... here's the same A side played backwards"... So, if they have Satanic references when their songs are played normally, do they have God and redemption messages when its played backwards? mcpherson123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkelly Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 LOL I love the ridiculous nature of this band. Year Zero backwards, wtf? I don't get the hate. I guess some metal dudes have no sense of humor. I don't view them as a joke so much as an homage (to Mercyful Fate, BOC, Alice Cooper and a number of other 70s and 80s oddball cult bands) with a really solid sense of humor. I know a few dudes who HATED them when Opus dropped but eventually kind of gave in and love them now. They let their "serious metal" face go and just enjoyed it for what it was. Plus there's solid music too. I loved Opus, I think it's way better, but I still can enjoy the new one. Still waiting for my copy from Bengans. I hope it's in this week. On why I'd order that version vs the US? I ordered both. I ordered the US package mostly for the Secular Haze 10" offered w/it when it first hit. I ordered the Nordic version mostly for the book/art and the "non BC" label (yes I'm that OCD) and because I had a shot at the Year Zero 10" with it. I usually don't do crap like that but, meh, whatever. I'm a sucker. No shame. nothingnatural 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shifres Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I guess sayings like "If you've got nothing nice to say it's better not to say anything at all" doesn't apply for the internet. I totally agree with you jkelly, I think the band aimed to be an homage for the 70's-80's more than being a joke but I do appreciate their sense of humor.

withengineheart Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I thought it was funny as shit! My friend told me that it plays backwards so I assumed it was one of those pressings that plays from the label outwards but nope. It was a lot more obvious than that. We actually had a guy at our shop come in wanting a refund because he didn't think it was fair to pay that amount for essentially one song that was already on the full length. I loled again.

kannibal Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 As a fan of buying music, not band related collectibles, i would be very bummed if I had bought the 10" with just an album track and an album track backwards. But unfortunately, thats the risks of playing the game. My store told me their distibutor still had it listed as backordered as of last week. Hopefully it comes in this week. i've been holding off on hearing it, so i am really getting anxious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it comes in this week. i've been holding off on hearing it, so i am really getting anxious. I can see that. I bought it w/o looking at the tracks just ASSUMING it'd be a non-album (but not stupid backwards) song. Then after I ordered I looked. Again, being honest with myself, I'm a sucker and would've caved anyway. BUT my main goal was looking for a sweet B Side. The reason I wanted the Secular Haze 10" was for a vinyl version of it's B Side despite having the MP3. Again, I'm kind of a sucker for crap like this. I can hold back sometimes....sometimes.

They will disintegrate after said number of plays. 666 spins would be even better for this release! I have noticed that clear vinyl produces more static issues, anyone who can comment on this? And by the way,, good album indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burntwolf Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 i got both my red vinyl and clear one from Norway on the same day... The US red is thin and has slight edge warp...and doesn't sound all that great... The clear vinyl is heavy, the packaging is nicer (plus the 8 page booklet); the whole package seems quite a bit nicer. And, it sounds way better to me so far. I'd recommend searching out the Scandanavian version if you are really into this album... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
