DJ Quik Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Just picked up the boxset (can't beat that price) so I guess I'll have to sell my part 1 & 2 now. Do your part 1/2 not work anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Quik Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 pitchfork just wiped its ass with this I agree with the review, loved pt1 thought pt2 was weak, but to have complete the collection They work fine. Why keep multiple copies Wouldn't you rather have the Target version with the bonus 7"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nardes Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I don't get the hate for part 2... I'm liking it more. It reminds me more of Futuresex/LovsSounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably keep the 7" and get rid of the 12". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpazzyMcGee Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 pitchfork just wiped its ass with this I like JT...but they got it right. There's definitely some unnecessary elements in the 2nd half. In a twist (for me), I think the bonus tracks are actually pretty good. Blindness in particular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrrom92 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Picked this up last night, spinning it now. At target saw a placeholder for part 1 but didn't see any. Both spots were stacked with copies of part II. Part 1 will probably be getting a lot more play than part 2. I loved part 1. When I heard TKO on the radio I wasn't too fond of it, and hoped for better songs - turns out it IS one of the better songs on the album. So there's that. Could someone post pictures of their vinyl labels and deadwax if they a. Bought a euro version or B. Bought a US standalone version? I'm wondering if the discs that got sent to target were pressed separately. They couldn't have possibly put so much effort into packaging and then decided on such cheap looking labels Kinda crappy looking white on black but it uses the Euro RCA design which strikes me as odd. Part one did also but damn, at least they sprung for red ink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omgitsemilyward Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Hi everyone has anyone actually played their copy of part 2 yet? I've been experiencing an issue where the first track on the A/B side (Gimmie What I Don't Know and TKO) have some sort of manufacturing defect and it skips like CRAZY. I got the record from Amazon, got a replacement from them, BOTH of which had the same problem, and then I just purchased the Target version and it's also skipping in the exact same places. I'm at the point of giving up and just living with it because at least the skipping on TKO isn't as bad as it was on the other two. At this point I'm just wondering if it's a problem with the entire pressing or if it's just my record player or something. I know that the company that produces these on vinyl doesn't do an amazing job (my part 1 sounded pretty bad sometimes but it was at least playable), so I'm just wondering if anyone found a good copy out there.

Mine tracks fine. It's probably just that your arm is misaligned or something. I'm not technical with these things at all so I can't help much.

omgitsemilyward Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 ALSO in additions to having issues with the vinyl, the download code isn't working either because it's only letting me download part 1 i've just about had it with RCA or whoever put this out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not technical with these things at all so I can't help much. i'm not sure if that's the issue because I've never had a problem with any other records before it's literally just that first track on the A/B side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamover Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 i have a blue Crosley that I got just this summer the problem with the crosleys is that they don't have counter weights. they are more likely to skip on records cause there is nothing weighing them down. i would find a tutorial on cleaning vinyl and try giving it a good cleaning, hopefully that helps.

I'm gonna try it on a different player at some point in the future... I've really never had a problem with my player so I'm kinda surprised especially since the skips are literally happening in the same spots with each newly opened record (my dad looked at the record and notice what I think he called a "splay"? He also thinks it might be an issue with the manufacturing of the album so I'm just curious to see if anyone else is having a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
