Acquiring every full length, every 7”, every CD, and all the variations of each has been my goal since I first discovered the band in 2016, and I’m now one vinyl away from that goal!
The Thrill of the Arts black vinyl reissue from 2017 (VULF2015R1) is what I need. If you’re one of the 1,400+ that purchased from Qrates back in 2017 I’d love to talk to you about a purchase or trade! I’d like to avoid the insane resale prices currently on Discogs if possible ;) Thanks!
Stole this from another subreddit because I was feeling lazy:
> Ten years ago today, without a clue or even a basic understanding of how to run a label, we started Topshelf Records. Thank you for all of your support throughout the years — you have no idea how important it is to us. Running a small business is incredibly difficult, stressful and emotionally draining work — but it’s always worth it because of the amazing peers, people and artists that build and support and fuel this entire community that we’re very humbly and happily a small part of. Beginning now everything we have ever released prior to this year is downloadable for pay-what-you-want for the next 24 hours. If this gets 1,000 shares or if this gets 1,000 notes, we’ll extend it to 48 hours. THANK YOU.
Any amount you pay will go to PlannedParenthood.
Topshelf Records is one of my favorite labels and has definitely been my favorite discovery. They extended their free album promotion until the end of today.
FWIW Record Store Day is 4/18 and the restocks are hitting shelves are releasing 4/17. Maybe Warner, Rostrum, and Mac Estate have something special for us on RSD? Food for thought.
WOW, really and trully WOW, this album is magnificent, they tried not only different genres but also different vocal technices and even genre bending, this album really doesnt have skips, is one good song after another good song, all of this songs are now in my playlist and i really dont have anything bad to say about any of them.
- Piri: That horn in the beginning? a 10/10, the whistle trought out the song gives it a hunting feeling, the prechorus sound angelic, followed up by the calmnes of them saying "Pirireul bureora" and then the drop, is just so beautifully made, the "pi li li li l i li" reminds me of "Are you ready for it" which is one of my favorite songs. This song has by far the rap vers in their discography so far. 10/10
- Diamonds: In the beginning this song made me think that they were going to fall for the tropial beat house and i was ready to dislike it, and then the prechorus started and i was in love, i love the guitar riff in the chorus, since i was expecting pure tropical beat i expected a harder drop but the drop is perfect in relation with the rest of the song. Dami once again gets a great rap verse and the overall vocals are great too, dreamcatcher made a song that could play in a club or at a beach party without losing their sound, i love it. 10/10
- And there was no one left: I love everything about this song, the bass is amazing, the song is very chill but not boring, the airy vocals are beautiful, the harmonies during the pre chorus are angelic, i really love everything about this song. 10/10
- Daydream: A beautiful ending to the album, this song relies hevealy on vocals and Dreamcatcher doesnt dissapoint, the harmonies in the beginning of the pre chorus and throught the chorus are beautiful, this song sound like an ost and i love it, . 10/10
Song ranking:
- Piri: 10/10

I have and I forgot his damn good those records are. Its been a really really long time since I last listened to them.
I am listening to the entire Beatles catalog because I've actually never listened to all their albums all the way through nor in order. So I started with Please Please Me and what I found was that the vocals were almost indecipherable nor hearable. Is this because of the early, low recording quality and methods available at the time or is there something actually something wrong with my computer? The fact that I can hear the vocals very well on "Love Me Do", which might explain why that song is maybe the most well known from that album--the quality was just much better than the others--makes me think this is just how the recordings are. Is this the case?
For example, can the rest of you clearly hear the vocals in "I Saw Her Standing There"? I can tell that there are voices but they're so far down in the mix that I can't even hear them. The guitars, bass, and drums are coming through fine, however. I thought it might've been something with my Spotify but I'm getting the same thing from the version on YouTube. This is what it sounds like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxwAB3SECtc
Is this how the vinyl versions are too?
Thank you!
Has your opinion changed on many albums? How do you think Gold & Grey stacks up? Here's how i'd rank them.
- Blue Record
- Yellow
- Purple
- Green
- Red
- Gold and Grey
Red actually used to be at the top for at least 5 years but as times gone on the less timeless it's felt honestly. Gold & Grey just never really caught me honestly, there's bits and pieces i love (Seasons, Borderlines, Anchors Lament/Throw Me an Anchor etc.). The album is just so overblown and bloated. The mixing feels very off, just a disappointing album overall. If it was filed down to around 9-10 songs and without the useless interludes (Assault on East Falls, Blankest of Ash, Crooked Mile) those interludes have no place on the album and serve no purpose other than pointless filler. The actual good interludes like Sevens, Anchor Lament and Can Oscura are great though. It also has the worst Baroness song on the album "I'd Do Anything", Which is unfortunately the only Baroness song i cannot stand and actively hate. I'd love to hear other opinions on some of these albums.
Ok so hear me out, the thing that got me extremely intrigued about is that I myself have Seungkwan as my bias and utt, with Wonwoo and Joshua as my bias wreckers. But actually after thinking about it, my favorite unit is actually the Performance unit.
I seriously love all the songs and stages from performance unit, they are always so unique and fun to listen and watch. Not that the other units's songs are bad, of course, but I always find myself enjoying performance unit's songs in the albums the most, aside from the titletracks.
Also, if I had to pick my all time favorite song from SVT out of their entire discography (yeah I know it's hard af xD) I would pick 247, which also happens to be from the perf team hahah. This song just got me hooked the moment I first listened to it and it almost never left my daily playlist since. The ironic part is that when I first listened to it back in 2019 I wasn't all that into SVT yet (just a casual listener), and I srsly thought the song was from the Vocal unit lol
So I was wondering if anyone else have similar pattern as me? hahah I mean, normally in kpop groups I always just naturally gravitate more towards the songs that have my bias(es) in, but SVT srsly has an different impact in me, but in a good way xD
I had to speak the truth
Ever do it daily?
Pinkerton is the best.
I went to one of my local shops and was blown away when I saw, 40oz, Stand by Your Van, Robbin the Hood, etc all on the shelves. Almost bought em all but you know, bills. Did pick up 40oz because I've been telling myself for 5+ years the second it's in a store it's mine.
Edit: VINYL, I mean Vinyl!
