Vinyl heads: what does Mayhem sound like?

[rinasawachanta 2,801]

Hello little monstrosities,

I want to ask those of you who have one or more vinyl editions of Mayhem, how does the album sound? Do you detect differences between the different versions? I bought the special edition from the store, opaque silver color, but it hasn't arrived in my country yet. I wonder if there will be a big difference with the 180g version. Can anyone tell me?

The 180g versions definitely sound deeper than the picture discs.

I agree but the 1kg versions are obviously way better

many concur that the plain, black vinyl especially if the 180G are the holy grail. I haven't really heard sound issues with the colored variants. I have had noticed some picture discs have maybe sounded not as strong, and I have experienced defects (not Gaga) with those vinyl variants with the weird color splashes (multi-color swirl) with air bubbles and other irregularities. PVC vinyl can be PVC vinyl but aside from the swirled ones I am sure they will all be good. Purists swear by the black ones though. That being said I don't often listen with headphones so I may not have noticed as deeply as others between color versions. I have a couple colors and the black one so maybe I'll have to do an experiment.
