Vinyl Me Please Anthology

[MikeH]

MAYBE LATER i haven't got a birthday check yet until a few hours

Seems if you're still a VMP member the code doesn't work. Can't remember if you're still a member or not.

wait if im still a VMP member the code doesn't work.. WTF?

 

[duke86fan]

eh i'll still listen to all the albums and see if i like enough of them to make 250 worth it

You get $50 discount already for being a member. The $50 code off won't stack on top of the member discount it seems. It worked with Tribe Records anthology (I got $50 off for being a member and another $50 off for buying a previous anthology) but seems they might have killed that loophole.

After some quick research, either price point is a good value. Even though these albums have all been reissued in the last 5 years or so, the Gwar and Cannibal Corpse albums are going for some dollars. I didn’t check the Armored Saint but I would imagine that’s been reissued recently. The only album that is currently in stock at Metal Blade is the Fates Warning.

no. hasn't been reissued since 2010 and is worth 60 buck on discogs

Ah. Well that makes the value even better.
Although the mastering info is depressing, but you can’t control that.

what is the reputation of alchemy mastering

i know GZ has a lackluster reputation here but thats mostly because the vinyl is noisy... i dunno if alchemy is considered a good mastering company or not

VMP also gave a happy birthday to me after this


and omen is a really good album.. im probably buying this if not DEFINITELY buying it... by the end of the week i will have had more than enough for this without birthday checks so i am ready

 

[jfitzy]

If this is still in stock by Friday, I’ll probably pick this up. I think the picks are pretty solid, especially Butchered at Birth.

 

[duke86fan]

why does the lead singer of fates warning sound like geddy lee

i like the guitar work but the songs run a little too long and the geddy like voice dosen't work

 

[MadLucas]

I really want the Cannibal Corpse album, but there's legitimately four others I would prefer over that one.

[yes, really.]

 

[duke86fan]

skipped over the next half of fates warning because it just wasn't clicking with me (i am not huge into prog)

went straight to cannibal corpse since its the big ticket and the one that i would probably have the least likely hood to appreciating....

and why is this first song in a weird way surprisingly relaxing... like the pig growl isn't disturbing or shocking its more... weirdly calm

 

[duke86fan]

ok did a one song sample of each album... not into fates warning (it dragged too much), cannibal corpse seems like it wont be easy to take but i am willing to try it out more, just seems kinda repetitive (the mixing isn't really that loud or dynamic).. GWAR, omen (listened to the full thing and loved it), black dalhia murder (seems right up my alley with melodic death metal), amon amarth (the nordic elements were annoying but otherwise great), and king diamond (was nervous about the progressive elements but i was convinced) seem to work for me.. just need to see la raza and if i like a few songs off that i will but this no problem

Metal is a pretty broad genre, anyone who thinks Motley Crue isn’t Metal, I am sorry to disappoint ya but they absolutely are. It might not be current on trend Metal (it’s not my cup of tea) but it’s Metal nonetheless.

This is the correct take

 

[duke86fan]

BOUGHT IT


but there is a bit of doubt because 250 is a lot of money but i do enjoy the small first impressions i got (and the box is going to be pointless in the end)

I hope you really love it Dukey!!! Splatters look great and the price point is good when the free shipping is included!

 

[MadLucas]

Did anyone else, when they saw it was Metal Blade, have that moment of, "uh oh, which Goo Goo Dolls album did they pick?"

 

[TheThinWhiteDuke]

Of all the Metal Blade albums they could have picked...this is certainly 8 of them

just mostly nervous because i originally had plans for other things (still can be done seeing as i haven't got my birthday card yet and i know another card is coming my way)

and metal is not my primary genre so i feel like i might have just did FOMO
