My Bloody Valentine vs. Chicago: Tinnitus FTW

[Imperor]

Finally gave this enough listens to say you can throw me in the "I love this album" camp.

 

[No spoken words]

About fucking time. You were about to get thrown into the stockade, better you get thrown into the album love camp.

 

[Imperor]

I was born in the stockade. Molded by it.

 

[u2popmofo]

You better have not pulled a Cobbler on this thing, Imps.

 

[Imperor]

Do you really think I haven't heard Loveless?

 

[No spoken words]

No, that just describes your life.

YEEEEEEEEEEEE-HA!

 

[cobl04]

Would it surprise anyone if I said I have not heard Loveless?

I've probably already posted the same thing six times in this thread.

Perhaps I will listen to m b v first, so mofo gets annoyed.

 

[iron yuppie]

Finally got around to this thing. Damn strong album. It's commendable and impressive that after all these years they are still able to capture such a unique aesthetic. The thing is a bit disjointed though, isn't it? Some parts seem like they were recorded in 1992, and others like last year. Or maybe I'm just drunk.

Oh, and the woman should sing on every track. Sorry to sound reductive; I just can't remember her name right now.

 

[LemonMelon]

Go home, IYup, you're drunk.

 

[iron yuppie]

Belinda Butcher.

Best track on mbv: Who Sees You.

 

[LemonMelon]

I wish I liked that one as much as everyone else. I love the first two, but that song hasn't grabbed me yet.

In Another Way

Hell, basically the whole thing

 

[bono_212]

I'm still not sure what my favorite is. I really like this album, but I still haven't had a chance to really dig in.

 

[No spoken words]

I've dug the fuck in and I really do like it from start to finish, even if it might feel slightly disjointed.

 

[PhilsFan]

I have not heard Loveless, so I am going to listen to that before I listen to this.

 

[nielsgov]

Now that I've listened to this album a few times I can say I like it. My favorites are Only Tomorrow, Wonder 2, If I Am and In Another Way, in that order. I can't listen to Nothing Is and Is This and Yes bores me. So yeah good, not great.

Is there any truth to this three EP's with three tracks each theory? Because it sounds really plausible.

 

[Danny Boy]

Good morning, everyone.

 

[lazarus]

It's too early in the day for DVDA

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

You should probably get the feather duster out.

 

[Danny Boy]

Uh, that's just film grain.

 

[u2popmofo]

 

[Danny Boy]

Wasn't the vinyl supposed to ship February 22, or am I remembering wrong? Anyone get a shipment notification?

Do we have to wait another 21 years to get a physical copy?

 

[u2popmofo]

No shipment notification here either. I haven't listened to the album even once this week. I'll have to fix that this weekend.

 

[Danny Boy]

I was just listening to it in the car, which is what made me think about the vinyl copy.

I've already burned a CD for the car and a hirez DVD for home from the 24/96 files, but for some reason I still want to see an actual factory pressed version.

 

[Danny Boy]

I poked around the MBV website this morning and couldn't find any updates on shipping. It still says that the vinyl is (was) scheduled to ship February 22 and to allow 14-28 days for delivery.

They did update the cover art for the vinyl and the CD, but that's about it.

[bono_212]

Guess what I got todaaaaayyyyy

Spoilers for those who may just want to see their own (These pics are terrible, my phone was almost dead, so it wouldn't let me take pictures so I had to use other means):

Spoiler

 

[bono_212]

And yes, my CD "Case" did come bent.

 

[Danny Boy]

*Checks mailbox furiously.*

Did you ever get a shipping notification or did it just show up? Where was it mailed from?

 

[u2popmofo]

Booklet looks cool.

 

[LemonMelon]

No shipping notification. The LP was not wrapped and there is no record company or anything listed on the shipping label, which is white and has a return address from Southall. It came Royal Mail.

Basically, it looks like a bomb or a giant box of anthrax but isn't.

Thanks. I ordered right after the site uncrashed, so hopefully it will get here soon.
