throwgncpr Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 http://www.revolvermag.com/news/strung-out-premiere-tk.html I stand by my earlier comments that these remixes/remasters sound far inferior to the originals. I hated the mixes on Top Contenders, and these sound about the same. I need to pick up copies of all the original mixes while they're still inexpensive.

tittus Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Going to wait to hear the entire thing before making a decision one way or the other. Not sure what to think with just a few songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnywreck Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 So pumped on these remixes. The older albums sound especially crappy in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the most part I was cool with Top Contenders save the STWB tracks. I don't think this is as bad, but still may feed the need to seek an original of at least that album.

I hated the mixes on Top Contenders, and these sound about the same. I need to pick up copies of all the original mixes while they're still inexpensive. As much as I don't want to, I tend to agree with you. Not everything about the new mixes is bad, but the gratuitous echo added to the end of vocal lines drives me nuts. I'm actually surprised at how different some of the new mixes sound compared to the originals. Maybe I notice it because I've listened to these songs so many times, but it seems like the Strung Out remixes are more drastic than most. When I first listened to Top Contenders I thought some of the tracks had been re-recorded. That said, I guess it's not the worst thing for super fans to have different sounding versions of these albums. Some of the tracks sound different enough that it's almost like getting a new Jim Cherry recording. It also means the Fat color represses of ADIP and TBD from a few years ago will still have an important place in the collections of Strung Out fans. throwgncpr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugareggs Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I see that Fat is no longer offering the colored box set. Safe to say these are sold out now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanRees Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Oh man, I hope mine is waiting for me at home. Cant wait to see this thing in person. its pretty sweet, sounds good too (listening to twisted now), the only thing that im slightly not stoked on is the color for twisted is so dark that you can't really tell unless its held up to light. travis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugareggs Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Spinning Suburban now. Really liking the new mixes. The guitars sound much fuller now. The boxset itself is gorgeous and the liner notes on the inserts are a nice touch. Agree with above about Twisted being a hard to tell kind of a thing, gotta hold it up to the light to see the swirl. Over all though its a pretty sweet set. Gonna watch the DVD later when I get a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclz Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Any sort of Jim Cherry tribute in there? jase 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanRees Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 In the liner notes for Twisted Jason talks about Jim, but i haven't seen any specific RIP Jim things other than that yet (twisted is the only liner notes ive looked at so far) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 My box set arrived today, too. This set is badass! The colors chosen look amazing, those Twisted By Design does need to be held up to the light to fully appreciate it. The packaging is terrific, easily one of the better produced record(s) I own. Was there supposed to be a download card for The Skinny Years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
