rjw63 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Making a conscious effort to buy less this year, but I have ordered the new Jerry Cantrell album "Brighten" on coloured vinyl, not out for a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am giving it a relisten now I am older to see if I get more enjoyment out of it. 1 or 2 tracks were OK, the same couple that I liked when I first bought it. Permafrost hits the spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Black Country, New Road - Ants From Up There Pretty good on first listen and picks up well from their debut EP last year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 A 2013 reissue of a nice bit of 1983 power pop. A slightly jagged spikey post punk / new wave with obvious Small Faces influences sort of sound. What’s not to like! The vinyl is pink. But I can’t show you that. The laptop / vpn / WiFi is having issues and will only work with the mobile phone physically tethered to the laptop, all a bit stressful on a Friday. 1968 turntable working without issues. Makes you think, dunnit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully no quibble and I just need to think if I want a refund or replacement. Anyway the Prisoners. Yeah I like them. Not my favourite Medway band but certainly up there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual platter you sit the record on weighs nearly 4kg’s on its own. But anyway, good luck with yours. Yes, this album isn’t their best, but they were decent. Without googling them up, I don’t think they were ever successful in any meaningful ‘charts’ way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple, well 3, good tracks, but that's it for me. rhythm of cruelty the thin air Permafrost edit, make that 4. Forgot "believe that i understand" edit again - it's better than "The Correct Use of Soap" as an album, so not their weakest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considered the Fluance Signature floorstanding speakers a few years ago, but the cost to import and a tale of woe from someone that had attempted to do the same put me off. Thought I'd see if we'd land the post Brexit deal with the US, then have another look? Obviously no deal happened, but their record decks becoming popular has seen legitimate distribution step up anyway. Good to know they haven't pissed you about.

Making my mind up on something potentially better, if not that I will get a straight replacement, it looks lovely and the reviews are solid. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted February 4, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 4, 2022 I might have mentioned once or twice that I'm a sucker for recording perfection, almost regardless of genre. Roadhouses and automobiles is one of those records. Pure speaker butter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
