Well...I haven't yet opened the vinyl, but the covers look fantastic!

The main one is the back cover...looks awesome! Better than the CD IMO!

Ooooooo I love vinyl! biggrin.gif

 

Cool stuff. I think the vinyl cover looks better than the CD cover.... those red whirlpools are neato. I still don't like the clock face though.... it looks cheap and haphazard.

 

The back cover looks awesome though! new_thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

Yep...and these pictures really don't do it justice.

 

They came out kind of crappy actually...too grainy.

 

Anyways...for those who ordered the vinyl, you should be happy. It looks stellar.

I don't really know how to express how absolutely beautiful The Garden is to me. It is like nothing Rush has ever done. Lyrically, Neil is at perhaps his most poignant ever, ("The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect/So hard to earn, so easily burned" might be the greatest lyric ever written by Pratt) and Ged's voice is just so lilting it adds a whole unique feel to this song. And I think Al's solo is just simply amazing and adds just the right touch.

Great comments all around, but this bit I could not possibly agree more with you.

You know with some people I am actually GLAD you don't/can't/won't enjoy this wonderful music. The joke is on you brother.

Well...I can't figure out if he means that the VINYL version sounds bad, or if the entire CA album in general sounds bad.

 

That might clear up alot!

Yes perhaps you are right, you are always the reasonable one!

 

We'll have to wait and see if mike chimes in again.

I'm not a troll. I love the album. It's amazing. I'm saying the pressing quality of the vinyl sucks. Not the mastering/mixing, but the actually pressing from the pressing plant. How is that trolling? Read the post that I quoted (about the vinyl copy looking great) and me responding "except it sounds like crap," it being the vinyl.

 

Some of you people really drink the kool-aid.

Nope...no kool-aid here. As per my previous post, I gathered that you were most likely referring to the sound of the vinyl! trink39.gif

 

Ironically, I don't have a record player, so my vinyl will be sitting on the shelf for awhile...beside the Feedback and S&A vinyls! laugh.gif

Sorry Mike, I misunderstood what you were saying and for that I apologize.

It's a shame too about the vinyl. It came fresh with tons of grime and fingerprints from the pressing plant. I love the album and was hoping the vinyl would sound better than the mediocre sounding cd. I hope my copy was just a dud. I'm anxious to hear what other people say about it so I can determine whether or not it's worth returning for a better copy.

My immediate thought, exactly yes.gif

All opinions are valued as long as you apply fanboi status otherwise you are a troll if you have a negative comment.
