Yeah, turns out there's a reason they were "one and done" as you say. It's not a terrible album, but it's just so...generic. I popped in the Jack Lee album after listening to The Innocents, and could immediately tell why one of them is still revered in the power-pop world, and one resides in bargain bins.

BTW, I have to hand it to you. I checked out 4 Out of 5 Doctors the other day based on your post (had never heard of them before). As luck would have it, my local record store had their 2nd album for $4. Needless to say, I picked up. It's pretty damn good. :up:

Wow, that's great to hear. I actually need to get that second record. According to Wikipedia, most of the songs are similar in style to "I Want Her" from the first record, and that is by far the best song on that album. So an entire record that sounds like that must be really fun.

Re: Albums Bought (2019)
Forgot to mention in my last post that I picked up Rift by Phish. Their vinyl studio albums are way overpriced, but Amazon had it temporarily discounted so I had to take advantage of that. |

Re: Albums Bought (2019)
Metallica - ...And Justice For All -2018 180g double vinyl remaster -I've never been thrilled with the production on this album, dry guitar and drums, almost no bass, but this release has a bit more low end that helps things somewhat, sounds better than the CD I bought back in 1988 anyway. And the usual top notch quality vinyl pressed on the MetalilPress. Starting with this album they started losing the script for me, so although I bought the deluxe box sets for the first three albums, I'll just be picking up the individual vinyl releases from this point on.

Re: Albums Bought (2019)
The Smiths' Louder Than Bombs - Yes, I am a little late on hearing a Smiths' album for the first time despite being a huge fan of British music across the decades. I can see why they have a reputation and are well beloved by a group of fans. If I were a 13-year-old emo kid slightly more intelligent than my teenage peers, the lyrics are a real calling card. It's not going to change my life but I understand why music critics love them.

My latest pick up is The Misfits' "Die Die My Darling" 12" single. First album I've ever owned that is 45 rpm on one side (one song) and 33 rpm on the second side (two songs). |

Long story short, I do like The Smiths now, particularly the guitar work of Johnny Marr. I don't usually dig "tribute" bands, but I've seen Sweet and Tender Hooligans, and they do put on a hell of a show of Smiths music. Morrissey himself has given them a shout-out. Go see 'em if you get a chance. |

Re: Albums Bought (2019)
Behemoth - I Loved You At Your Darkest
Double vinyl (45 rpm) with gorgeous gatefold sleeve and a 24 page album sized booklet with artwork and lyrics. The discs were even picture discs (which I wasn't expecting, the Amazon listing didn't mention that). I hope they sound good, I know that the technology for these has come a long way, the picture discs included with the Metallica box sets are dead quiet and sound fantastic. Here's hoping! https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...2ef7a6fa19.jpg |
Re: Albums Bought (2019)
Dammit, the picture discs I described above have noticeable surface noise and one side has pops like a sumbitch, so I guess this is going back to Amazon, especially since I specifically didn't want the picture disc version for this reason, I just wanted plain black vinyl. I guess the Metallica vinyl reissues have been spoiling me, they've all been flawless, even the picture discs.
|
Re: Albums Bought (2019)
Colored vinyl is usually fine, but "picture-disc" vinyls are notorious for surface noise.
I have Tool's Lateralus on a picture-disc vinyl, and while it's mastered really well and sounds phenomenal, it's loaded with surface noise. |
Re: Albums Bought (2019)
Oh yeah, I've never had a problem with colored vinyl, but the amount of surface noise on these picture discs really surprised me. Too bad, because they look awesome, everything about this set looks amazing, I just wish it had the sound to match.

Re: Albums Bought (2019)
I ebayed all original CD versions of Metallica's Kill Em All through ...And Justice For All. I sold them when they announced the remaster projects. The remasters suck.
I also bought an original Def Jam version of Slayer's Reign On Blood on CD. All the remasters for that suck too. |

I still have my original Def Jam CD of Reign in Blood, but recently picked up the new vinyl remaster of the album and it sounds great. But I have heard bad things about some of the Slayer remasters on CD. |

Re: Albums Bought (2019)
Fair enough, I realize that things like this are subjective, I've heard wildly varying reviews on almost every remastered album. I guess different people are more sensitive to different aspects of the audio.
Drop outs on the other hand are a whole different thing! Do you know any examples on RIB where any might occur? I might need to listen to my vinyl more closely. :lol: |

Re: Albums Bought (2019)
I - Between Two Worlds
Traditional metal album recorded by a "super group" of Norwegian black metal musicians. A solid little metal album from 2006 that flew completely under my radar until last year, now it's one of my favorites. Out of print, so vinyl prices are high, and CD prices are on the high side too, but I managed to find a Ukrainian release CD on ebay for cheap (hopefully legit, according to Discogs it is). https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...424ff1795c.jpg |
