vardcore Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Holy fuck that blood in the water is cool. It looks cool in the light. In a dark record store it might appear black at first. I was initially a bit underwhelmed by the result, but I like it now. It's the dark horse of the first pressing, haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnywreck Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Holy fuck that blood in the water is cool. I got my poison city exclusive in today. It's alright. I'll need to listen a lot more. No songs really grabbed me on the first listen through That's how I felt at first and now I can't get the songs out of my head. Give it some time, methinks.

kyacrash Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Was pretty excited to see my Hot Topic order waiting outside for me when I got home today, but as I opened it to my surprised was a copy of Polar Bear Club - Death Chorus, and no AWS record / I double checked the invoice and it says AWS just like I ordered, but they shipped the wrong record. Already emailed em, hoping for a quick exchange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 That's a weird mix up. It'd be nice if they told you to keep that LP and send you AWS anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally we would send you another one out; however; this item is now out of stock. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience." so fucking mad. I ordered this the day it went up on HT's website.

kyacrash Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 What?!!! I know dude I can't believe it. And to make it worse the OCD/paranoid me actually checked Hot Topic's website yesterday before I emailed them, just to make sure they still had it. And of course, they did. But today when they get back to me it's gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone wants to part with their hot topic variant, please message me! It was pretty expensive on HT. Odd that it would already be sold out given it's still available via other vendors. I liked that variant the most but couldn't justify the cost when it was available elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larsensteiner Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 What?? Glad I ordered this on the weekend, didn't expect this to sell out so quickly. Holy cow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jase Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Alright, I've given this quite a few spins now. I'm not really in to it. The mastering/mixing seems so off. It's so massively bass heavy that it's quite off putting There are still no songs that have grabbed me. I'll shelve it for a couple of weeks and revisit it I think. This is the first time I've ever felt this way about a wilhelm scream album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first time I've ever felt this way about a wilhelm scream album When you have a dope ass bassist, you gotta crank it! It's mixed like a straight up rock record. I'm not saying this because I primarily play bass, it's the kind of album you listen to really loudly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying this because I primarily play bass, it's the kind of album you listen to really loudly. I play bass too. But it's not just the bass guitar that's over the top. It's all of it. I changed it all, tweaked my settings to take as much out as I could. It sounded ok. Only ok. I put another record on and it's sounded like it was complete top end garbage, until I changed everything back to how it was. Then great. I also didn't touch on the lyrics being weak. Or the harmonies being buried in the mix. I LOVE aws. I do. I've seen them 4 times(I live in Australia, give me a break). They are phenomenal live, all their previous records are start to finish great. It's just this falls shirt for me. I've been waiting 5 years for a new record. My expectations weren't met. I'm hoping this album will grow on me though lssr_ttrgrmmtn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vardcore Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 This is literally the first criticism I have read; the rest has been over the moon. That's pretty awesome. I actually found the album to be highly active in both the high and low ranges. It's great that people care enough to be so analytical. They really dig deep.

jase Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Oh it's easy to just say, oh it sucks. I don't like it. But what's the point? Subjectivity and such. If you aren't going to say ANYTHING other than you don't like it, shut up. Give some sort of constructive criticism.

Clayman001 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Is it just me or does something not quite add with these hot topic presses. I mean all 500 selling out in a few days? Don't get me wrong it's a great variant but given how many other variants there are still available, just seems weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My conjecture is that the majority of the copies are IN THE STORES and only a small amount are sent to the online store. They are not selling them all online.

Jakubino Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 http://www.shopbenchmark.com/awilhelmscream - You also get a coupon code for a 20% discount. I believe this is the Blood variant, may be wrong though. EDIT: I remember there were guys on this forum, who have helped some EU members with ordering stuff (mainly from HotTopic) in order to save some money on shipping. Is there anyone who could help me with some releases please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
