They're all different and while I like the debut I also think it's the weakest. If you get the first album, get the deluxe version .. It will have The Bronze and These Aren't The Droids You Are Looking For on it. I think there are 2 others as well not on the regular release. The Bronze is a fun song |
Re: The VINYL Thread!
I think the most recent QotSA album is their best, and the vinyl package is absolutely killer.

Made a video of my system comparing two versions of John Coltrane's Olé kinda long @ 22 min |
Re: The VINYL Thread!
Many polarizing opinions on the QotSA albums. I hadn't made any purchases yet. I might have to renew my spotify subscription so I can give them all a decent listen before buying.

Personally, my favorites are the ...Like Clockwork, Era Vulgaris and Rated R, but they're all good after you give them a proper chance. |

Here's one thing to keep in mind, at least that I've found, with all QOTSA albums - they're all growers. I didn't particularly take to any of them on the first couple of listens, but they all slowly revealed their greatness to me over repeated listens.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
I think QOTSA have gotten better as they've gone along. I'd actually start with the most recent and work your way back - it'll make the older, less immediate records easier to take in.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
Somewhat off topic, I love Songs for the Deaf but can anyone else not stand the radio excerpts. Ughhh.
|
Re: The VINYL Thread!
^ that's the only album I'm familiar with, mostly because of the singles, but I also had several CD samplers with some of their songs on there like "Song for the Dead." However, this seems to be the one album not readily available for my vinyl consumption, so I'm going to renew spotify today and I should be able to give them all a fair go on my work commute.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
For QOTSA vinyl, ... Like Clockwork (the album released last year) is really good ... the albums are 45s and just sound fantastic. Era Vulgaris has some cool packaging (4 10" albums) ... the rest of the albums packaging/sounding wise are perfectly fine, but nothing spectacular IMO.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
I got the red 45 edition and it's awesome.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
Are you sure there is a 33 1/3 edition? I bought the plain version
http://www.amazon.com/Like-Clockwork...7329495&sr=1-1 it is 45RPM. I am not seeing a 33 1/3 available. |

Re: The VINYL Thread!
Made my way a little south of the uptown area of Minneapolis and ventured to one of the shops Geofferson mentioned a little while back. Roadrunner was absolutely awesome, they had so many excellent used records I had never come across before. Had to limit myself to just two yesterday but I picked up Ziggy Stardust and Space Oddity in absolutely awesome condition.
Also visited Treehouse records and Hymie's...which was probably the coolest record store I've been to this far, just so damn far from where I live. |
Re: The VINYL Thread!
Ziggy :up:

I'm envious of you people with buttkickin' vinyl shops in arm's reach. South Florida doesn't have all that much (save for a warehouse district sale once in a blue moon). I have to head up to Orlando for some really great stores. :-\ Visiting Amoeba for the first time in 2012 was like Mecca, Lourdes, and Flakowitz's Deli all in one... |

Re: The VINYL Thread!
I got a used pro-ject speed box in the mail just now. I'll make a comparison video. Ive heard raves like "the bass is so tight now" and I've heard negatives like "it makes my records sound like CDs." So we'll try it out.
