GradedOnACurve Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 So I mentioned this in another thread that this was being worked on back in January. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=470279596364044&set=a.104826489576025.2965.103911536334187&type=1&theater Since Clumsy and You Are Freaking Me Out are seeing reissues and Samiam mentioned this again.... https://www.facebook.com/samiamband/posts/600839036593705 ....I figured its time to pump up this as well. I never gave this album a good chance because the production is too harsh and raw. I hope this is Banner Pilot's Resignation Day because I didn't really realize how amazing it was until they tweaked the recordings. Update 10/3/13! PO is up! Clouds in the Sky or Multi-colored splatter! http://store.noidearecords.com/collections/new-on-no-idea/products/samiam-whatever-s-got-you-down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tittus Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I actually love this album, can't wait to hear what it sounds like after the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefwahoo Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Whatever's Got You Down is awesome, I'm glad I can't hear whatever issues people seem to have with it. Although it sounds like he's gargling rocks on some of those songs, I don't know what the hell happened to his voice. That's the only thing I found odd, but I got over it.

vardcore Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Jeff Dean remixed it, so that should prove exciting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 I wish you guys were releasing it. Clumsy too. Would have made for a great order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxmartinxx Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Whatever's Got You Down is awesome, I'm glad I can't hear whatever issues people seem to have with it. Although it sounds like he's gargling rocks on some of those songs, I don't know what the hell happened to his voice. That's the only thing I found odd, but I got over it. I agree. The mix seemed alright to me, it was just that the majority of the vocals sound like Jason was sick during the recording or something. I don't think you can remix that, unless they have a different vocal track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyseancore Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 clumsy, astray, and YAFMO are my favorite samiam records. so i'm stoked for the clumy and YAFMO reissues. i plan on picking up clumsy on record store day, if i can find it. not a very big fan of 'whatevers' tho. i dunno what was so unappealing about it for me, but i never gave it a real chance, cos it just kinda bored me and felt weird.

Songs are pretty rad though. Stoked about this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tittus Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 • The LP comes on two different kinds of colored vinyl: CLOUDS IN THE SKY or MULTI-COLORED SPLATTER! If you have a color preference, please mention that in the comments section when you check out. Thanks! Missed this. But happy with either, really.

chiefwahoo Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Unless You Try's exclusive variant. http://unlessyoutryrecords.limitedrun.com/products/519533-samiam-whatevers-got-you-down-remixed-remastered-split-blue-yellow-vinyl-import Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefwahoo Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Just saw this, holy shit! I think No Idea goofed up the track listing on their site because Bide My Time obviously isn't a bonus track. 13. This Will Be Our Year (*bonus track) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vardcore Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 -- If anyone is COMPLETELY RIDCULOUS and wants to invest a goat-load of bloated dough* please pester me (via PM) about test pressings**. * a/k/a "le dough" in Quebec. ** you know, they are just like the regular records, only they are black vinyl, blank labels, have no art or lyrics, and generally cost more to collect. Exciting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefwahoo Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I agree. The mix seemed alright to me, it was just that the majority of the vocals sound like Jason was sick during the recording or something. I don't think you can remix that, unless they have a different vocal track. This is on Spotify now, they clearly had different vocal tracks available unless it was re-recorded. Only listened to two songs so far but it's about as different as can be. I wasn't expecting such a drastic difference. This is weird to listen to after listening to the original a billion times. Hopefully those who didn't like the original mix will get something out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Var when are downloads going out for these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donlombardo Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 More importantly, when will this be available to order from Unless You Try? It says it should be ready to ship in November - and it's November now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Var when are downloads going out for these? Good or bad is up to the listener. It's just drastically different. Backing vocals that weren't previously there, some vocal parts no longer there at all, some doubled up vocal tracks, vocals sung in different keys or with different emphasis. And then there's the music as well. And I'm just listening on shitty laptop speakers at work. I was just shocked, I wasn't expecting a complete overhaul. While it wasn't necessary for me personally, it sure beats just buying another copy for the collection like the rest of their catalog that's been re-released.

spoonbill Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 only through two tracks so far. i thought it was going to be a lot different. this is like a whole new record. better/worse debate is going to take a lot more listens. i love this record though.
