I can't wait to get my hands on this, though I'll probably wait for a 320kbps-rip.
Also, will most likely order this one, but I take it the whole box-set is available on CD as well?
Seen most people talk about Vinyl, so get's kinda confusing, but if it is available on CD I'll order it, and if so, what does it cost?

zxlkho · « **Reply #911 on:** June 14, 2011, 02:00:00 PM »

You'll pass up 256kbps for 320kbps?

LOL

also, the complete collection is only available on vinyl, not CD.

ClairvoyantCat · « **Reply #912 on:** June 14, 2011, 02:04:18 PM »

Yeah, there's no audible difference, I don't get it

Also, I think White has ascended to being my favorite EP, at least for now. Every song is absolutely lovely on it.

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

Zep, while you're at it see if you can get Casey to meet me at the Pittsburgh show. I'd like to add him to my (small) collection of musicians I've had my picture taken with, even though I generally hate having my picture taken.

Well, I didn't know that it was 256 kbps, most web-rips seem to be 192.
Also, really lame that it isn't available on CD, but oh well.. the band's loss.

Just buy the digital version.

To reiterate my point that was lost on the last page:

Quote from: DTVT on June 14, 2011, 01:31:27 PM

Either way the price for the digital download is an absolute steal.

Zantera · « **Reply #916 on:** June 14, 2011, 02:48:20 PM »

I'm not much for buying music digitally tbh, I really want a physical copy of an album if I'm paying for it.

I agree with this. I'll buy the compilation CD and some merch to make up for it.

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #918 on:** June 14, 2011, 02:59:23 PM »

I don't like it either, but I wasn't going to buy a watered down version.

zxlkho · « **Reply #919 on:** June 14, 2011, 03:00:50 PM »

Definitely buying more merch from this band when I see them. They deserve all of my money.

millahh · « **Reply #920 on:** June 14, 2011, 03:10:40 PM »

I bought the mp3s from Amazon, and I've had no issues up through the end of Blue.

I'm also loving this.

millahh · « **Reply #921 on:** June 14, 2011, 03:15:41 PM »

Zeppy, I think your name got misspelled in the booklet...

zxlkho · « **Reply #922 on:** June 14, 2011, 03:17:19 PM »

Hahaha I thought that at first too, but his name is actually on the next line.

ariich · « **Reply #923 on:** June 14, 2011, 03:31:42 PM »

What are the chances?

I bet that was Zep again, but he used a fake name.

Also, I have been provided with some copies of the album that doesn't sound like shit, so finally getting to enjoy it seeing as I damn well paid for it!

millahh · « **Reply #924 on:** June 14, 2011, 03:33:09 PM »

I stand corrected!

ZeppelinDT · « **Reply #925 on:** June 14, 2011, 03:33:34 PM »

Lol.... yup. By an amazingly unlikely coincidence, there's actually a DIFFERENT person in the fan club who happens to be named Chris Lind. Although it has the benefit of making me stand out a little bit... both Casey and Nick mentioned it to me the first time I spoke to them.

@DTVT - Casey is like super fan-friendly. I'm sure he'll be hanging around after the show. The last time I saw them when the were headlining in Brooklyn, after the show ended, instead of going backstage, the entire band literally just hopped off the stage and mingled in with the crowd to hang out and meet people.

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

Y'know I'm entitled to my own opinion, and hey, maybe Violet will grow on me but I felt like it was overly bombastic and got bored. As with Black, the only song I liked was This Body. The concept itself was cool (where Black is concerned) but it didn't translate into songs that were able to sustain my interest for very long.

zxlkho · « **Reply #929 on:** June 14, 2011, 05:52:18 PM »

Favorite songs (no order):
This Body
Echo
Home
Lillian
Progress
Therma
The Inheritance
Misplaced Devotion
But There's Wolves?
No God

Ravenheart · « **Reply #930 on:** June 14, 2011, 06:34:16 PM »

I listened to Act III again today. I'm still pretty "meh" on it, but there are a few cool songs.

millahh · « **Reply #931 on:** June 14, 2011, 07:45:21 PM »

Just finished my first pass through the whole thing. Damn....

Indigo is my early favorite.

I also joined up at LATR.

I agree generally, but there's no guarantee all of these songs will end up on CD any time soon.

Plus... it's a steal.

zxlkho · « **Reply #934 on:** June 14, 2011, 08:03:57 PM »

BUY THE VINYL. It's a fucking beautiful piece of art. I can't wait for it to arrive.

Yeah... no.

Anyways, I'm on Green right now. Yellow is easily my least favorite so far. It's all very good, but it's quite a lot to take in. Orange and Red were my favorites, but Green is very good so far.

Gah, need more listens.

I couldn't find any of these guys cd's in store on the weekend.

All they had was another band called DeerHunter, but their cd's looked shit! I looked everywhere. What's the first album I should get from these guys anyway?

ClairvoyantCat · « **Reply #938 on:** June 14, 2011, 11:50:07 PM »

Begin with Act I. Not just because it's the best, but because it's the beginning of the story. You're in for a treat!

Alright, I might order it online. Annoying they are not in store!

zxlkho · « **Reply #940 on:** June 15, 2011, 12:26:33 AM »

You are in for a treat. This band is absolutely fantastic and I know you'll love it.

shits incredible yo. shame im not in the money at the moment, I'd be on that vinyl version. still, I've got plenty of time

Perpetual Change · « **Reply #942 on:** June 15, 2011, 03:31:28 AM »

I've only listened to Black, Red, and Orange so far. But, SO FAR, Black is the only one that I like

antigoon · « **Reply #943 on:** June 15, 2011, 05:15:58 AM »

I gotta be honest, Orange was really not my cup of tea at all. Hope that changes with future listens but I thought it was bo-ring.

Zantera · « **Reply #944 on:** June 15, 2011, 05:52:44 AM »

Just listened to the whole box for the first time, this is so amazing!
Obviously a lot to take in at once, so I can't really pick favorite EP's or songs yet, but overall I feel like this is a 5/5 release.
