jonnywreck Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 This is probably my favorite album that's been released this year and I am dying for a repress. Can't say I've read a single positive comment regarding the sound. Kind of sucks that the label doesn't even address the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SVXDan83 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I was just wondering if anyone else who owns a copy of this has noticed a lot of background noise during the quieter parts of 'The Devil in my Bloodstream'? As the song progresses, the hiss just turns to distortion in the heavier parts. Did I just get a bad copy, or is this a known issue? Has anyone had any luck getting bad copies exchanged? Thanks!

SVXDan83 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 What a shame... Of course, the audio problems are with my favorite song on the whole record! Well I guess there's no point in pushing for a replacement, then! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhitmuzik Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Yeah, I sold my copy after one listen even though it was one of my favorites of last year because the whole thing was unlistenable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkinglot Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 i still find the middle of this record super boring. i really dig tracks 1,2,4,5,6, and i'm always bored once teenage parents ends. somber_silt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWasteOfATime Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 All the copies on blue are fucked, they sent me two more after I complained directly to Hopeless. Apparently the issue stems from the album being too long for a single LP (maximum length of music to 1 LP = 45 minutes)The same issue is present on Balance And Composure's TTWTWM.

chamb117 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 i still find the middle of this record super boring. i really dig tracks 1,2,4,5,6, and i'm always bored once teenage parents ends. teenage parents has grown on me more. of the second-half songs i listen to chaser and cul-de-sac occasionally, but i agree, after track 7, it's pretty much toast. i absolutely loathe madelyn. regardless of its sentiment i think it completely derails the album. everyone ripped on the last track for being derivative but i think it's really powerful. Apparently the issue stems from the album being too long for a single LP (maximum length of music to 1 LP = 45 minutes) it's cool and shitty that they acknowledge what the problem is because that means they probably knew in the first place, and just wanted to cut corners to cut costs. i made this same remark back when the album came out, that i was surprised they went with a single LP because it's a few minutes too long compared to what's "standard." hopefully any future reissue is a double-LP.

I still have that Déjà Entendu sealed for you if you wanted to trade those Anberlin records. Let me know if you still want it. Thanks!

subplotofcrows Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Waiting for the inevitable "deluxe" reissue as a 2xLP which is what it should've been in the first place. My blue copy is just rotting on my shelf and it bums me out. Wouldn't be surprised if it gets an etched d side with the images from the screened 7"s.

SVXDan83 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Seems like most albums worth owning on vinyl these days come as 2xLP packages. I'm growing more and more skeptical of quality when I see something I want is only pressed on a single LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omik11303 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I must've gotten lucky. I know what bad sound quality sounds like (anyone here have Courtesy Drop's latest?) and the only issue I had with this was that it was a little quiet. Once I turned up the volume the whole album was pristine. Amazing so many people wound up with terrible copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SVXDan83 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Is this a serious post? Fuck. Not sure if that's a serious question or not? But, yeah, I think so. Why try to cram everything onto 1 record and end up with compromised quality. If I'm choosing to buy something on vinyl, I know I already really like it and want to hear it without compromised quality. I think this shitty pressing is a perfect example. I wasted say like $19 on something I don't even want to listen to because it sounds like shit. I'd have happily shelled out $5-10 more for something that is listenable.

The main factor in any record sounding bad is the length of the record. This release in particular must have been too long for how it was pressed and probably should have been a double LP. A very large majority of records don't have this issue because they don't push the parameters of what an LP can hold. You're pretty much saying every release should be a double LP, which I think is crazy from a labels perspective, as well as a consumer's. nothnks, trevorxramage and chamb117 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seamoney Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Every release should be a 6x12" boxset. If it's a punk album I'll settle for a 6x7" box. cemeterytapes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe saying every release should be a double LP is a bit of an exaggeration on my part. I guess my point is that albums are generally longer now than they were when everything was primarily released on Vinyl. So, when I see a new(er) release thats > 10 tracks or > 45 minutes in length, I get a weary when its only a single LP release. So, in that sense, I'd rather these releases be cut onto 2 LPs.

chamb117 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 on top of the length, i think it may also be the masters or production. all the mp3s play quiet for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youmightbewrong Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Exclusive Hot Topic repress and the band picked purple for this one I really, really hope that they fixed the issues for this. I've grown to love this album so much, and I would be very happy to hear it properly on vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
