WubbyWubby Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I don't know much about this but that's been what I've been thinking. Kinda like how using certain white vinyl can cause more surface noise than other white vinyl, maybe something similar has caused this. i have always been curious about this, as I have a few glow in the dark vinyl..which always have more noise than any other type of colorway.

parkinglot Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 my haze copy has very little surface noise, but the record just sounds flat, if anyone knows what i mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbruise Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Ultimate fail, you can paint these things all the colors you want, but if it sounds like shit, its worthless. Sound should be the most important aspect of a record, duh. thejesseb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paintedinexile Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 How could they let this get pressed like this, since I'm willing to bet their 20 test presses all sound it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantheriver Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 How could they let this get pressed like this, since I'm willing to bet their 20 test presses all sound it? Chris once told a member on the board that it shouldn't matter that the test he received from NS was warped, because tests are "not meant to be played". Maybe he really meant that and wasn't just trying to avoid having to make the exchange... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwhitmuzik Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 I doubt he cares about sound quality pretty sad, no sleep keeps falling down the list of labels for me. this mediocre year (other than this record, mostly so far) plus their behavior is just...eh. kinda a bummer after being on top the last few years. sabukweli 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AutumnEmpire Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 If people got pissed at the Pity Sex score on Pitchfork, I can't wait to see their reaction to the review for this. People seem to think anything under 8 is shit. I can understand why if you mainly read reviews at, say, AP.net. dantheriver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woah_dood Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 So I saw the opening show of the tour tonight. It was my 3rd time seeing B&C. No offense to Title Fight but they shouldn't have been the headliner. So I didn't go into the show with TOO high of expectations b/c I'm sure you have all heard about them playing live and not being top notch... BUT it was the first time they have played live in a while so I was hoping Jon's voice would be rested. This was by far the best I've seen them live. It was absolutely incredible. And I was super stoked when they played "More To Me" b/c I have never heard or seen them play that song live and it's my personal favorite and first song I ever heard by them. It also goes along well with the setlist which included 5 songs from the new album. "I Tore You Apart In My Head" was not played but I'm really not complaining since I've heard that song live twice already. No songs from the braid split, tiger jaw split, or ep were played unfortunately... would of liked to hear "You Can't Fix Me" live : ( But all in all it was an awesome setlist and it made sense. As far as the tour variant of the record goes.... GET THERE EARLY. I showed up before the opening bands came on and they were already sold out (even offered $40 for one). Like seriously, you might have to be waiting at the doors as they open to get this. I was really just trying to get this in hopes of better sound quality and less surface noise than my red opaque copy... but oh well. I managed to get a picture with Jon during the Title Fight set. He walked around for a quick second.. and I'm glad I'm not too into Title Fight b/c I was in the back by the bar where the band was during the Title Fight set. I talked to most of them and they all seem super cool, so that was uplifting after seeing people bash them on here saying "they suck as people"..... NOT AT ALL. Favorite moment of the show: I crowd surfed on the stage in the build up to "Notice Me" and then crowd dived right when they went into the screaming "I'll be scratching at the back door!"..... BALANCE AND COMPOSURE rock on.. EPIC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faceghost Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 It blows my mind that he had no problem getting 7000 records pressed without listening to a test first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Sleep has a strong fall lined up so I wouldn't say it's a mediocre year. At the very least it'll make up for the first half I guess. The only record I've bought from NS this year is Allison Weiss and B&C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundboard Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 You new around here? All about dem variants. People have to be like that, because we all know black records don't look as good framed and they aren't as eye catching in ebay pictures.
