    I haven't listened to my vinyl yet but I'm curious if you got the standard or deluxe vinyl?
    I just got the standard.

    The 180 gram sounds pretty good. Unfortunately alot of "standard" vinyl nowadays is cheaply made and sounds terrible
    Well this "standard" version is 150g, so still very solid... Okay, I'm kind of embarrassed to admit this, but the record sounds good now that I put back on last night... Um, I think it sounded bad before because I'd smoked some weed and was hearing it funny. :oops: :oops: .... But seriously, how was I to know?? Usually pot makes shit taste sound better, not worse!! :lol: :fp:

    Can't stand?! I mean, I wasn't a huge fan of Era Vulgaris, but it has some good songs. You really don't like ANYTHING on SFTD? Wow, I think it's genuinely the best hard rock record of the 2000's.

    On a side note, ....Like Clockwork is an instant classic for me, the quality throughout is consistently brilliant.

    I like about 3 songs on it. the rest is trash to me.

    Good question, something I'd really have to ponder.

    Riddle me this guys and girls... The presale for QOTSA in Cincinnati went on sale last Wednesday, and the public sale started Friday morning, and I managed to score pit seats late Friday night, and I've checked a couple times since then and there are still pit seats available. The entire venue only holds 4,000 people and the pit isn't very big at all. How the hell are there still pit seats available for this show?!?! :shock:

    Lateralus
    TCV
    Mer de Noms

    are obvious ones that'll be really hard to top depending on your cutoff point between hard rock and metal. I think it's pretty hard to rank an album that's just a week or 2 old.

    This is a really great album but I don't think its the second coming like some people seem to think it is. There are many songs on Era Vulgaris that are better than most of ...Like Clockwork. Its cool that so many people are enjoying the album though, that's all that matters. Gonna be seeing them in November for the second time. Gonna be gooooooooodd :D

    That's pretty insane. QOTSA are playing arenas in the UK in November. 12,000ish per night. I saw them in a 4000 capacity venue on their Era Vulgaris tour, it was insane. But then again I think seating at a rock show is insane ;)
