But I'm also noticing that it's lacking richness at a usual volume... Have to crank it WAY up for it to sound more full, and even then it kind of has a tinny sound to it. Anyone else feel that the sound on the vinyl is questionable, or did I get a dud? The mp3 sounds better than the wax for me. :(
I haven't listened to my vinyl yet but I'm curious if you got the standard or deluxe vinyl?Alright, alright, alright!

Mine too, but I also first played it at 33 and only noticed when Josh started singingDoesn't sound flat or tinny to me at all. I have the deluxe version... I would like to know too why they decided to do it for 45. Is it just a fancy thing or does it improve the sound or...? Anyway, this is going to get a good spin today.
Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!http://community.pearljam.com/discussion/148993/please-pearl-jam-consider-a-vinyl-benaroya-hall-re-issue0 -
45rpm sounds better.0

I fully support this statement :thumbup: Can't think of an album within the last 10 years that would be better than this. I really hope these guys add some northeast tour dates (Boston, NYC, Philly). I need to see them in support of this album a few more times.2006: Albany
2008: MSG I, MSG II, Newark(EV)
2009: Albany 1-2(EV), Philly 3
2010: Boston, MSG I
2013: Buffalo, Brooklyn II, Hartford
2016: MSG 1, MSG II, Fenway 10 -

The 180 gram sounds pretty good. Unfortunately alot of "standard" vinyl nowadays is cheaply made and sounds terrible0 -

There are actually quite a few of vinyl releases that are done that way. The last Foo Fighters and Primus records are that way for example. Not sure why that is, but those two albums I mentioned sound great! Haven't heard the new Queens yet on vinyl.0 -

Haven't picked this up, but Minus The Bear's Planet of Ice is a 12" at 45rpm and it sounds fantastic.0 -

Yeah, it is amazing. I just got new neighbors today. They have Michigan plates(Yuppers) and they were cranking country earlier today. Dude was wearing a blue camo shirt, no shit. I cranked this album with all windows and doors open just to let them know what was up in my neighborhood.Forced to endure, what I cannot forgive.0 -

The dynamics on this album are amazing. Qotsa have always had that kind of mix it up feel, if that makes sense. But this album takes it to a new level. Plus the video is insane.Forced to endure, what I cannot forgive.0
