But since I missed the boxset dont really have a choice You could have waited for the HT release. Colors are slightly better, in my opinion.

smeepo Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I kinda wonder who's idea it was to make it blue. How does blue go with the album art at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I kinda wonder who's idea it was to make it blue. How does blue go with the album art at all? The color of the vinyl doesn't HAVE to match the album art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dapeebs Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 I kinda wonder who's idea it was to make it blue. How does blue go with the album art at all? They redid the album art, and it kind of matches it. Here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I didn't say "match." Match, go with it, relate to it at all. That's what I meant, haha. They redid the album art, and it kind of matches it.

smeepo Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Match, go with it, relate to it at all. That's what I meant, haha. I guess there aren't that many colors to work with when the album art is only two colors. The orangish/goldish color worked well. I don't honestly care, I want the damn album on vinyl. I Googled the box set to find the color of the DTBM color, and holy shit. People on eBay are already selling DTBM and Acceptance Speech for $35-$60. Even the HT variants that don't come out for two more weeks. Bastards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Someonescoat Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 You could have waited for the HT release. Colors are slightly better, in my opinion.I agree but not enough for me to wait. Ultimately just having them I'm ok with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't honestly care, I want the damn album on vinyl. Honestly, I wish they wouldn't went with a gold variant. Not gold as in "translucent yellow." But as in the opaque gold color. Like this on the right: I think that would've looked great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAI182 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 They redid the album art, and it kind of matches it. Here: I think these colors actually match the respective album art for the original releases quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly would have loved to see everything on regular black vinyl. I'm really tired of vinyl colors. I'd rather have black then a color that doesn't really fit the cover. docdasuess and smeepo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smeepo Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 The color of the vinyl should have been so black, that when asked how much more black the vinyl could be, the response would be: "None. None more black." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colors for the box set came out pretty nice though, but nothing beats a classic black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HybridxReality Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 The bone/orange matches the album arts. Bone for Relativity and orange for S/T. BUT, they did change the album art for S/T and it does look like the blue/white would match it a lot better. I dig black vinyl. It does match with anything, but I prefer to get the colored vinyl, especially when they're limited. Like for Old Gray; they had black and clear w/ red and blue swirl. I immediately went for the clear one, even though they made more of the clear ones. I just think it's more..unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 The fact that all but approximately 10% of vinyl albums that are currently in production are limited means that "limited" means nothing when it comes to vinyl albums.

HybridxReality Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Gotta agree with you on that. I just dig colored vinyl most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 When I first got into vinyl I really dug the colored thing. Now I just wish most of my records were black and a great many of them are. I go out of my way if necessary to acquire black on select LP's that I'm really into and will simply opt for black if its readily available along with other color configurations.

HybridxReality Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Hm, I see. Reason why? Just preference or got tired of all the colors, or? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
