Was thinking about how, at 16 track,  the deluxe version of MAYHEM fits perfectly into the vinyl format and that subdividing everything into different sections helps emphasize flow and cohesion in the track listing.

MAYHEM

 

LP1:

 

SIDE A-

I. DISEASE

II. ABRACADABRA

III. GARDEN OF EDEN

IV. PERFECT CELEBRITY 

 

SIDE B-

V. CAN’T STOP THE HIGH 

VI. VANISH INTO YOU 

VII. KILLAH 

VIII. ZOMBIEBOY

 

LP2:

 

SIDE C-

IX. LOVEDRUG

X. HOW BAD DO U WANT ME

XI. DON’T CALL TONIGHT 

XII. KILL FOR LOVE

 

SIDE D-

XIII. SHADOW OF A MAN

XIV. THE BEAST

XV. BLADE OF GRASS

XVI. DIE WITH A SMILE

Genuine question: do people actually listen to vinyls and not use them just are decorative items? Having to flip the disc, then changing the disc then flipping the disc again to listen to Mayhem in full sounds exhausting. 

If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating.

Apple Lossless for me. I understand collecting physical media, but I don't 'get' vinyl for actual audio.

Really? I have never heard the sound from a vinyl player before, I always thought it was low quality. I will find a friend with one to check it out :partysick:

It has a warmth to it that digital formats completely lack

I personally don’t anymore, tbh. Used to have a huge collection, but found that, long term, it wasn’t really worth it for me because it wasn’t a primary way that I listened to music. But I think the idea that the tracklisting may have been tailored with the vinyl experience in mind is interesting and gives it a kind of classic feel

That’s why I had to go out and find lossless rips of both songs and put them into the music app on my phone. IMO the album isn’t complete w/o them

All the time. The sound quality is fantastic, especially with the right deck and speakers.

But of course by buying the good quality equipment on top of the £40 cost for (new) vinyls, that’s a lot more money than a Spotify or Apple Music subscription, so I respect why people don’t bother. It’s certainly not a cheap way to consume music or a cheap thing to want to collect.

I think they do, more so than CDs. I feel it's like a vibes thing with record players, they have a warm sound and you can create a mood with that. 

I've never played a single CD I bought :rip:
