jake7722 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I logged into my Matador Shop account, and it said that the Deluxe version that I ordered shipped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I ordered one on 4-10 and another for my brother on 5-6 and both are still "Processing." Booo-urns! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcpherson123 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Yeah, I had a feeling when they "re-stocked" the deluxe a few weeks ago. Still, "its my [record] and I want it now!!!" Its pretty good that some have shipped already. I hope I can at least get my copy by the release date. If sooner, that's even better.

nothingnatural Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 R get a remastered for vinyl pressing. No need for that. You should try to find the legitimate original version that has the name 'RAYS' etched in the dead wax. That is the good version of R (and it really is an amazing pressing of that album) . All the other versions sound like shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedpig Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I've been holding off on pre-ordering this one. I cant decide if I like it or not... I've been a huge fan of the band for 14 years, have spent stupid amounts of money on all J-Ho related releases and gigs etc.... and I just cant bring myself to pull the trigger on this. To me, the songs just sound lame. Perhaps I'm getting old, or I just don't 'get it', but to me it doesn't sounds like a QOTSA record. And to echo nothingnatural's statement, the original pressing of Rated R/X does sound very good. capsized 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingnatural Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I've been a huge fan of the band for 14 years, have spent stupid amounts of money on all J-Ho related releases and gigs etc Same here. Got into them around 99 or so and have been hooked ever since. I had heard Kyuss here and there before hearing QOTSA but I didn't end up buying any Kyuss releases til well after I was heavily listening to Queens. Maybe the new album will be a "grower" for ya. I've only listened to 'My God is the Sun' so far and I definitely like it. I have no plans to listen to the leak, just gonna wait for the LPs to show up. I guess I'm in the minority though as I actually like Era Vulgaris and I see that album tends to get quite it's fair share of shit from fans.

Well, I admit that EV is my least favourite QOTSA album, partly due to the production. But it still has some classic dirty riffing from JH, such as Turnin' On The Screw, 3's & 7's etc... There's just none of that on the new LP. But you could well be right about it being a grower, once I get over the fact that it is definitely 'different' perhaps it will grow on me... I do hope so!

That is the good version of R (and it really is an amazing pressing of that album) . All the other versions sound like shit. I have the gatefold version of Rated X that doesn't have this, the one with the sticker printed on the front and no insert, and it actually sounds stellar *shrug*. what sounded so bad to you, just curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nothingnatural Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 If you come across one for sale, PM me please. It's tough to come by since the differences between the pressings are usually slight. You'll just have to ask eBay/Discogs sellers for the matrix number. I know the original also has a larger parental advisory sticker attached to the gatefold. There's some sites that explain all the differences between the pressings. firefoxUSSR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumbercules Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 My Rated X has the sticker, yet no Rays. Has a Made in Germany sticker on the back as well. Pretty sure it's original, picked it up in 2002-ish. Sounds great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzersonKillwell Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 No clue. Typically NPR stuff stays live, but I don't know in this case. Someone will rip it Im sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott_c Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Nope. Just the few songs that have already been released along with the animated videos. Can't trust Trent Reznor's tweets, apparently. Trent Reznor @trent_reznor 19h Ahh... I see even "regular" people like you can hear it now, too! http://www.likeclockwork.tv/ Trent Reznor @trent_reznor19h Josh gave me the excellent new @QOTSA record a while ago which gets listened to every day on the way to NIN rehearsals.

nothingnatural Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 My Rated X has the sticker, yet no Rays. Has a Made in Germany sticker on the back as well. Pretty sure it's original, picked it up in 2002-ish. Sounds great. There's around 3 or so different versions (maybe 4). The very first copy that came out has 'RAYS' on the dead wax. It's only etched into side A and it's kinda hard to spot at first. Side B also has a little square with a bare ass on it rather than the 'X' that's on the other side. It's also 'Made in EU'. The differences are minor but the 'RAYS' copy is most definitely an amazing version of the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
