Welcome to the club! (it would be ironic if I'm no longer "recently joined" after this post). My excitement for Syro has made me come out of my lurker shell, so maybe soon I'll be a big boy/real member! you have to edit your member title dude, your avatar is kiling me. no offense.

So, a question about release date: I assumed (I know, I know) that when you pre-order the CD at a local store, the Syro credit card gives you the right to download the mp3 from Bleep on release date. I was wrong, and who knows where i got the idea, since nothing ever said that. I'm an idiot apparently. I can of course rip the CD myself, but what irks me a bit is that the release date listed by the store for pick-up (and for everywhere except Bleep) is Sept. 23, rather than Sept. 22 on Blerp. I was hoping to download from Blurp on Sept. 22 and just pick up the CD a few days later when I have the chance. Anyway, what the hell is my question? Am I correct that Bloop's release date is one day earlier than everything else?

That's what she said.

Seconded

Looks fake, no?

Hey, for all of our sake... we can't wait another "13 years"!

Does something somewhere say you get stickers? I guess you just get the "limited [to 5,000] edition" card if you pre-order at a store, but no stickers?

Excellent response Mr. Ooze. True to form! I've found this all interesting. There is room to discuss different geeky aspects & opinions I hope.

Yeah, he left it on a plane and so he had to rush the minipops mastering, so it isn't very good. Seriously, thanks for all the feedback. Obviously there are diferences in opinion, which is interesting (even though I can only understand about 50% of it). There's no question whether Mr. James or the person who did it "fucked up" the mastering. He knew exactly what he was doing/choosing. Maybe he wanted the mastering "loud" on minipops, since it would be the first single (and thus wouldn't sound quiet compared to other music or whatever), whereas he had someone else master the rest of the album with a different approach/emphasis/goal in mind. Just more baseless speculation though...

Not seeing that here. Hey, what did all this mean btw? (There were a few others.) I don't mean, "Is RDJ's face in there somewhere?", I just mean: Can a person w/ knowledge explain what this means to a non-musician? I noticed some ppl described minipops as "loud," and someone posted about why the person who did the mastering may have chosen to do it that way... hopefully this doesn't make it a stupid question. Can someone explain something beyond "it means the song sounds loud"?
-
That's why I won't listen until I've got it all. Same thing happened with another album I was really looking forward to. Still hard for me to hear the pre-released single as part of the album.... Funny album, this one. 180db (number 4 above) is the so-called snowbombing track? I do not follow the youtube stuff, so forgive me...
-
These reviews are great to see! I'm not listening until the whole album is out and in my ears. I've avoided the crap quality you tube versions, so I have no idea what it even sounds like. Reviews are pumping me up though!
-
Heh. Side note: As I'm listening to older stuff before syro, can I just say how masterful of a track vordhosbn is? Freaking amazing.

Dude, don't trip. Warp is making US edition ones that don't need to imported, no? Isn't this what they do now and have for a while? Just pick up at local shop. Calculating in US dollars, checking shops in Australia. Either way, shipping to the sun is expensive.

Well by that criteria then I think Analord is amazing as Joyrex put it. But another person could be like: You gotta like at least half of it for it to be amazing. Then it's running awfully close for me. I may now need my ears reconfigured if that's the case. Hey, it's all opinion in the end anyway. Well, actually technical prowess and creativity both have some objective qualities to them (even if not subject to measurement), but whether tracks are great/good in the sense of "this makes me want to punch the air," well, opinion, ya know? I mean, it's kind of like Kanye... What does everyone here think about Kanye?
