So I just finished Red, which was pretty good overall. Started Orange and thought I was listening to another Red song at first. Red's a bit more...wild, though, I guess. But both EPs have that bit of modern 70s to 'em.

Orange is really guitar solo driven, where Red had more of an upbeat, angst feel. That's how I felt while listening anyway.

Absolutely, and I think the first songs of both Yellow and Green have a real hippie feel. Love it.

I really like Yellow. Its mostly happy, sort of indie rock/pop.

So almost done with Orange. Holy crap "A Sea of Solid Earth" is really good!

Does the full Color Spectrum count as one album?

Hell if I know. It should.

THEY'RE SO PRETTY

a;dksfj;we4o8th4;thfdkgn;thkyjzdkj;askhre;g

Anyways, just finished listening to the whole thing, albeit out of order. Gonna listen again today, but my rankings so far:

Black
Violet
Indigo
Yellow
Green
White
Orange
Red
Blue

EDIT: changed them a bit. Basically, OGW are kind of in flux right now. The other ones I have solid feelings about.

zxlkho · « **Reply #885 on:** June 14, 2011, 11:25:37 AM »

I'd rank Green and Red a little higher, but that's very agreeable with Black, Indigo, and Violet at the top.

Nick · « **Reply #886 on:** June 14, 2011, 11:26:20 AM »

It... looks... so... good... must... have...

zxlkho · « **Reply #887 on:** June 14, 2011, 11:31:22 AM »

Black > Indigo > Violet > Green > Red > Orange > White > Yellow > Blue

General ranking. There isn't one bad song on here though.

ClairvoyantCat · « **Reply #888 on:** June 14, 2011, 11:36:26 AM »

Seems like a general agreement that Blue is the worst so far. Anyway, here's my first thoughts after one listen, which will probably change after more plays.

Indigo
White
Black
Violet
Green
Yellow
Orange
Red
Blue

Yellow second-to-last?

zxlkho · « **Reply #890 on:** June 14, 2011, 12:02:01 PM »

Yeah, I felt bad about that at first, but I really can't put it above anything other than Blue.

faemir · « **Reply #891 on:** June 14, 2011, 12:14:43 PM »

Is the vinyl release a limited run?

zxlkho · « **Reply #892 on:** June 14, 2011, 12:15:43 PM »

Yeah, there's only 1000 of them I think... maybe 2000 idk

ZeppelinDT · « **Reply #893 on:** June 14, 2011, 12:18:10 PM »

1,000. About 275 left as of Sunday night. (Casey was hanging out w/ us in the LATR chat room for a while)

DUDE WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME

ariich · « **Reply #895 on:** June 14, 2011, 12:25:16 PM »

I'm really pissed off about the glitches. I converted the files to mp3s but they're still there, so they are in the source files and it's not just the playback that has a problem.

What's more, the version that is up on Spotify has exactly the same glitches.

This is completely unacceptable, and I don't even know who I should be contacting.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #896 on:** June 14, 2011, 12:26:10 PM »

My version sounded fine. What kind of glitches are you hearing?

A lot of people on LATR were having the same problem. They said you should just contact iTunes and they'll give you a replacement or your money back or something.

OskarSluring · « **Reply #898 on:** June 14, 2011, 12:30:10 PM »

I also noticed glitches, but i thought it had something to do with my bad internet-connetction at the moment, but i guess the problem lies elsewhere.

Super Dude · « **Reply #899 on:** June 14, 2011, 12:31:22 PM »

What should I be hearing? I don't notice any glitches and I got mine from iTunes too.

lordxizor · « **Reply #900 on:** June 14, 2011, 12:33:57 PM »

No glitches here and I got mine on iTunes.

I've been listening to this throughout the day in the background at work. I need to give these a proper listen at some point soon, but I'm liking what I'm hearing so far. It's not grabbing me immediately like all of the Acts have, but hopefully a better listening environment will help.

Just little jumps in the sound. The first two songs are fine (and are amazing! Especially Filth & Squalor) but the next few are buggy and I had to stop listening after that.

Seems like maybe it's not iTunes fault and that the band/distributor are to blame. On Spotify it's also glitchy, and I downloaded one of the glitchy songs from Play.com and that is exactly the same as well, so I get the feeling maybe the version that was sent to the UK/Europe is dodgy, as all the Americans seem to have it fine.

Zep, any chance you can get in touch with Casey and find out if he knows what the hell is going on?

BLACK LAST?!?!?!?!?

sort of edit: racist

skydivingninja · « **Reply #905 on:** June 14, 2011, 12:59:18 PM »

What the hell, Super Dude? Violet and Black last? I thought you were a super dude. More like a super lame dude now.

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #906 on:** June 14, 2011, 01:21:18 PM »

I know it's really 9 EPs, but if you think of it as one huge ass album with White being last - Home would have been the perfect closer.

zxlkho · « **Reply #907 on:** June 14, 2011, 01:22:21 PM »

I like to think of it as a double album. It's about the same length, isn't it?

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #908 on:** June 14, 2011, 01:31:27 PM »

More like a triple album. I know the songs are short by prog standards, but 36/3 = 12 songs per album.

Either way the price for the digital download is an absolute steal. Completed second complete listen. Maybe some thoughts when I get home.

Yeah it is. Just a little under capacity of two CDs.
