So....

S/T sounds fine on Vinyl and my system.

I can sense how its a little less abrasive and a bit easier to aurally digest.

However, it is absolutely obvious the glaring "mistakes" when you listen on headphones. This leads me to believe that the band, BOB, and whoever else involved are all about the "Car test", and how it sounds blasting in a room on a sound system. I wonder if they actually ever mix or master any of their music these days diligently with headphones and a clean/undamaged ear.

And him burying that lead guitar fill in Parachutes is worse than any fucking fade out.

Fuck you BOB.

Sounds like Binaural to me!

Really, 3 tracks in and first listen.....doesnt sound any different than the original pressing. Im glad I got it. I have the original but its older and a bit dusty! So now I have two copies of Binaural/The best album ever.

It is absolutely absurd how much better this (and riot act) sound compared to S/t -> lightning bolt. Geezes christ.

also, my reissue copy of Binaural does not say "Binaural" on the front like my Original copy does.

Can we talk about how great the artwork is for both Binaural and Riot Act blown up to Vinyl size?

Its so beautiful.

Man, Binaural and Riot Act absolutely cemented me as a life long pj loser. They are why i can tolerate and enjoy anything they do now. I can't help it.

I thought the remastered audio was going to be available for purchase digitally? Tim told me on a thread right after they were announced that they would. I’m dying to hear Binaural. Riot Act sounds great to me.

Binaural remains the only album I've ever owned for which the artwork served as my desktop background before the album was even recorded.

Same thing happened when I ordered a set of headphones with 2-day shipping. They said the arrival date will be in 2 weeks. So I cancelled their ass.

Well, I'm paying $20.30 for that vinyl of Binaural. I ain't cancelling shit.

I'm pretty happy with my Binaural vinyl. Makes me glad I didn't spring $300 odd a few months back on an original pressing

Still waiting on ST to come in

They're just alerting to you that it will ship in mid-December, not that they have it in stock now. I got the same email about my Riot Act vinyl. Hope the "estimate" is correct.

I do love the artwork of Riot Act, but Binaural is a weird artwork for me. I do love both of the booklets. Those weird pics of the band playing, the written lyrics, some drawings...nice stuff.
