psus2h Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I bet this will be like the AIC Devil Put Dinosaurs Here. The label cut costs and it sells around $30 new. MSRP was $60-$65 when it first dropped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSRP was $60-$65 when it first dropped.I remember this. Shelled out $30 for the AIC pic disc and a few months later saw it for $17.99 on Amazon. Have to say album sounded pretty good for a picture disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 The LP comes with a DL, but it's just a vinyl rip of the album in m4a. I don't think the b-sides are included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webdoggy Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Yeah. B-sides definitely weren't included with my download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpitts Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 The download is the same as the album. Sixteen tracks, with the last one being "She Likes Surprises". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bortx Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Got this in the mail today from amazon.de, spinning it right now. It sounds awesome. Records are 180gr as advertised on the sticker. The quality of the jacket is great as well. To be honest it exceeds my expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushmouthbooze Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Did anyone else preorder this from amazon.uk I got 3 emails pushing the release date till July 11th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedpig Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Was out shopping with the wife today and I spot this in HMV, and the wife gives me permission to grab one. £24.99. Now is it just me or does anyone else think that it sounds, well, offensive to the ears ? Seriously, I feel like a complete idiot for selling my original press. Damn.

nathan_s82 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 It does sound a little "louder" than original Vinyl or CD. It's not too loud to sound distorted (i.e. like Nirvana Nevermind). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you did it right that original press you sold should have paid for three reissues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedpig Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 If you did it right that original press you sold should have paid for three reissues. There's some useless information right there. Cheers. *edit* Sorry about that. Having a bad day. My Original press was in pretty beat up condition. Still got £40 for it though. No complaints there. The complaint is that this new press sounds hideous to me. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

negavinyl Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 $55 AND it sounds like shit? Thank gawd these major labels are back in the vinyl game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I don't think it sounds like shit at all. Don't have an OP to compare it to, but comparing the LP DL to a rip of the old CD, while clearly louder, the new master also sounds crisper and a little beefier. I have the US version though. Speedpig has the European pressing. psus2h 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpitts Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I have the new US press of this album and it sounds great. I played it through a very nice setup, which consisted of a Pro-ject Debut Carbon with Ortofon 2m Red, Pioneer SA-9800 100W integrated amp (completely refurbed/recapped) and JBL L100t3 speakers.

Speedpig Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 OK, so I might have to eat a bit of crow on this one... (not a whole crow though, just a bit). My amp is a Teac A-R600, which has this 'Loudness' feature button on it. It gives the lower frequencies a boost, and generally makes everything sound quite meaty... which I like, and I always have it on. Anyway, this morning I gave this LP a spin without this Loudness feature on, and it is a vast improvement. (Nothing mind-blowing though). So I was probably a bit quick to slag this release off..... BUT, I will say, I have about 600 LP's, and this is the only one where I need to turn the loudness feature off on the amp. (For reference, I am using a Goldring 1042 stylus on a Rega P2, and Kef Cresta 30 floorstanding speakers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morfiend Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I've listened to this 3 times now and it sounds fantastic. Telephantasm is the only Soundgarden release on vinyl I own that sounds like shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Despite the various critiques and issues, I'm sure I could enjoy this release, but not for $50+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gippej Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Despite the various critiques and issues, I'm sure I could enjoy this release, but not for $50+. Sellers through amazon have it for around 30. I have still yet to pick it up do to all the negative reviews though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
