Yeah, the Binaural artwork does absolutely nothing for me. |

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. Yup - I got the same email for both. If you look at the individual items, both show back in stock on 12/10. |

I did an A/B comparison with the original Avocado and the new Avocado this weekend (Pro-Ject Debut III turntable, Vandersteen 1 speakers) - kind of meh. * Overall the mix is better and not quite as harsh, but still harsh! * Low end seems to have been decreased on everything up to Army Reserve * Army Reserve has the best overall improvement; Gone is also better * Guitars tamped down on Marker with more prominence to the drum rhythm * Doesn't fix my main issue with the original mix: quite, muted sounds are still incredibly loud (Parachutes, Come Back). He did fix the snare some in Come Back - it doesn't sound like Matt is smacking crumpled paper grocery bags any more! I'll spin it again this weekend, increasing the bass a bit on the receiver to see if that improves the low end. |

Soon my collection will be complete (minus Backspacer and Lightning Bolt)! I have original pressings of all of them. But I'm still way more excited about reissues of Riot Act and Binaural than originals of Backspacer and Lightning Bolt. |

But it always felt weird that people criticized the S/T cover so much when Binaural really isn't all that different. It just feels lazy to me. Here's someone else's picture of space. BOOM! Cover. |

Still waiting for ST to come in to complete the collection. Has anyone listened to the re-issue of Riot Act - is this better or worse than the original pressing? |

Amazon sent me Binaural by mistake. Lame. I already have that one! |

Mailwoman just delivered my Binaural at 7:30am. I didn't even know the mail staff were out this early. |

I know it's been months, but I'm really just listening to these reissues now. Binaural did sound a bit flat, for sure. I'm on Riot Act now and I think it sounds great. Lots of depth, very very clean pressing. I've been critical of the album's production in the past, but I listening to it this way improves it greatly. My 2nd record is pretty badly warped (my fault for not opening it for so long, I think) but it still sounds good, no skips or anything. Avocado soon. |
