    not a fan at all with the first few listens...but I somehow feel like it may be slowly growing on me.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    I still haven’t listened to this horrible bloated gasbag of warmed excrement.
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    You haven’t earned the right to trash it, then. Rise to the challenge.

    My Vault just showed up and I dropped the needle. Man, one heck of a pressing. Sounds fantastic! Puts the leaked vinyl rip to shame. Do all the extras make the price worthwhile? Eh, maybe, they're kinda cool. Was it worth it to get first crack at tix for his upcoming tour? Absolutely.

    Btw, I also like how the Vault version of the record totally looks like black vinyl luntil you hold it up to the light, and it's blue marble. I've never seen that before. I mean, that's not worth the difference in price from the regular version, but still, kinda cool.
    An original Synchronicity looks black but is purple in the light.  It's a tremendous pressing to boot. That's the only other one I've seen like that.

    This album is gonna be huge. Just give it some spins,..
    At last Jack stopped playing that country bullshit, except 2 last tracks, which suck a lot.
    Ed should quit playing Just Breathe, The End, Future Days stuff as well.

    Finally gave it a listen via YouTube- there seems to be a lot of just instrumental tracks? Maybe it’s just the shitty YouTube thing for now though.  All in all I am pretty indifferent, glad I didn’t buy it though, don’t think it would be played too often.  It’s not a steaming pile of shit, but it’s nothing great either.  As I usually do, I imagine if it was a no name artist and then I know I wouldn’t ever listen to it again.

    I'm coming around a LITTLE bit more to this album. If anyone who hates it (seems to be a fair amount of folks) has it on vinyl and is willing to sell cheap, I'll take it. I'm looking at you @mcgruff10. I don't like it enough to drop 20some bucks on it, but I'd go for it cheaper

    Ah, but as someone else pointed out, that last track is actually a song written by Al Capone while he was in prison... Don't know about you, but once I learned that, the song took on a whole new, and much more enjoyable meaning for me - way more interesting and charming and odd and sweet suddenly. I now think it was an excellent choice on JW's part.

    So I took mine out in the direct sunlight and still don't see the color. Is it that hard to reveal?

    You have the Vault pressing? Only the Vault pressing is blue/black smoke.

    Did you hold it up to the light? If you do it's obvious.

    It's been forever since I spun Synchronicity and I've never held the wax up to light. Hey, what do you know, purple!

    First few REM albums are the same way. I’ve heard there are green brown and purple pressings. But the are black ones as well.

    I have a green brown copy of Reckoning. weird that this was the first thing that came into my mind. I remember the store owner telling me that if you held it up to light you could see the real colour. totally forgot about that. I need to go check.
