Fuck YES. The vinyl reissue of PINK just came in the mail. Listening to it right now and the mix is really good. Different than the original; all the guitar work in the background is now easier to decipher. It sounds amazing.
Who picked this up and who is seeing them on tour (where they are playing Pink in it's entirety)? I'm catching them in D.C. in August!
Also, they reprinted all the lyrics in English in the liner notes. Many of these were either printed incorrectly in the original release or were illegible due to the packaging. Farewell finally makes sense:
Farewell It's long gone, gone away Words were almost lost and gone
I felt it was far away, even if it was near I felt I could reach at last
Ready-made answers are here Sitting like a guidepost And always tries to deliver I turn away from those kind of things Get up and go, my well Just wave good-bye Farewell
Also, while this may be an unpopular opinion: I am glad that, when this was released ten years ago in America, Southern Lord put Farewell on as the first track. It was what got me into Boris and I'm not sure if I would have started following them had it opened with Pink (the song).
Logan Collins
I had this weird dream last night where wata wanted me to have sex with her but everytime I was about to put it in I went flaccid. Does this mean I'm gay?
Ethan Long
that's reasonable. I like the other version because of the extended version of I Just Abandoned Myself, but farewell is a good opener
Angel Edwards
Dream Moods Penis To see a penis in your dream signifies sexual energy, power, aggression, and fertility, especially if the penis is erect. If the penis is flaccid, then it points to sexual frustration. When was the last time you fucked?
Nolan Lewis
I bought the Stoner Witch repress instead of Pink, AMA
Jace Kelly
Thinking about seeing them in DC. Should I?
David James
Is that the tour with Earth? If so, yes.
Matthew Stewart
Yea, this had so many versions when it came out. The CD copy I had started with Farewell, but it abruptly stopped at like 6:30 in, cutting off the soft outro at the end. It also cut out a bunch of the drone bits on various songs - My Machine was only about a minute long or so. However it did feature the full 19 minute version of JUST ABONDONED MYSELF (which was misprinted)
I'm really glad this finally has a proper release.
Liam Cooper
why not get houdini and stag too? the bundle costs about as much as pink
Jordan Walker
Fuck yea, it's going to be an amazing show. Full album shows arn't super common and Boris puts on an amazing show.
And yea, Earth is opening who are really good. Also Shit Storm...a grind core band that sounds like every other grind core band ever.
William Morales
more like boring thread
Carter Parker
The record store had like 3 copies of Stag which, imo is Melvins' nu-metal record. And no copies of Houdini. Fortunately I have a first pressing. Unfortunately it's still in the shrink wrap so I can hardly ever listen to it.
Jayden Taylor
Going to be seeing them in Madison
Andrew Ramirez
take it out the shrinkwrap go apeshit
Isaiah Roberts
Nice!
I've only seen boris once and it was for the Heavy Rocks/Attention Please tour in 2011. It was a damn good show. Am I the only one who thinks that Heavy Rocks (2) is one of the top Boris albums?
Juan Flores
it's a 250 dollar record you big dingus
Bentley Cooper
>not heavy rocks 2002
Yes you are the only one
Charles Martinez
I got the reissue too. I think it's 100% better than the original.
Owen Rivera
same!
Cameron Taylor
>it's a 250 dollar record you big dingus that you can't listen to
Michael Lee
God I fucking hate collectors
Nathaniel Jackson
value has dropped since the reissues though
Jordan Ramirez
Glad it's at the majestic and not something bigger like the Orpheum
Alexander Rivera
I just got the limited edition Pink/Purple vinyl re-issue of Pink today.
Gotta say I'm kinda disappointed in the packaging, but it sounds great, even the bonus album.
Should I go to Seattle to catch the show???
Luis Myers
if it's less than a 2 hour drive I'd say yes
Luke Lopez
I don't drive, I think the bus ride would be 3 hours though.
Nolan Morris
Well as long as you've got a way back then hell yeah
Jackson Ross
AKUMA NO UTA VINYL REISSUE WHEN??
David Mitchell
>Tfw no tour dates near me. Why live? At least I can see Sunn O))) in August..
Jason Jenkins
Has anyone uploaded the re-release to mega yet?
Carson Perez
pics plz OP
Grayson Jenkins
> not taking records out of the wrap as soon as you get them
you do know that stuff shrinks over time, right?
Matthew Carter
OP here, yea the packaging is kind of arse. It should have been a 3 sleeve LP holder instead of a make-shift box that carries all three.
Go to the Seattle show, it will be worth it!
Fuck I hate taking pictures at shows. I'll take a few though.
Doubt that will happen :( the only reason PINK was re-released was that the demand has been there for years and it's their best selling album.
Wyatt Morris
Has anybody ripped the vinyl version to MEGA or zippyshare yet?
Jaxson Green
First dronevil is the only good stuff. absolutego is meh.
Carson Green
What Boris record should I listen to if I liked the hard stoner/sludge metal parts on Akuma no Uta?
Josiah Morris
This flowchart is good, but there was one on here a few weeks ago that was MASSIVE. It started off by picking either Pink, Amplfier worship, or Flood depending on which cover your liked best lol It was REALLY good - does anyone have it?
Oliver Williams
>They're coming to atl on the 30th with earth >have no one to go with Does anyone here go to concerts by themselves? I'm not against the idea but at the same time I'm so used to seeing everything with my gf and having someone to talk to
Parker Howard
Me and my gf just broke it off so I'm giving my free ticket to one of my friends who likes metal. Fuck I hate going to shows alone.
Julian Gomez
this one?
Jace Hughes
YES! Thank you!!!!
Anyone who wants to get into boris, use this one
Xavier Wood
Yeah, go apeshit
Jacob White
Go, it's cool being at a show by yourself, nothing to worry about other than the music
Leo Harris
>pick coolest album cover >uses lamest pink cover
Jonathan Jones
Yea, the one with Satan was best. Why didn't they put that one on the re-release?
Also, I thought something cool might come with the re-release like the original had with the Acid strips, but alas the packaging is pretty sparse :/
Ian Lewis
God I thought I was the only one. I fucking hated the packaging for this. Really wish they would have just gone with something more traditional since its not as if there is any actual art on it. Just a piece of solid pink cardboard folded over itself.
Sort of pissed me off given Sargenthouse really hyped up the packaging and it was totally barebones.
Mason Phillips
I'm leaving for Tennessee the same night they're performing in my hometown and I'm livid about that.
Nathan Roberts
mine just shipped, am excite. seeing them in LA on the same day my band's album comes out so it's gonna be a hype time for me haha.
Is earth opening for them everywhere?
Jacob Ortiz
I just bought one (1) ticket to see them in Connecticut anybody else going? thinking of going to the brooklyn show too but going into the city is more trouble than it's worth really excited to see them play, I have this rule that I only wear band shirts if I get them at the show so really pumped to pick this one up
I've fallen out of love with vinyl collecting, but if that remaster sounds better I might pick it up because the cd isnt that clear
Dylan Nelson
>tfw Canadian poorfag >I can afford to go to a trip to Toronto or Montreal to see them with a friend, but it'd leave me broke Should I do it Sup Forums? I won't see Earth which is a bummer but I like Boris more anyway.
Grayson Jones
yes
Isaac Nguyen
someone upload it in flac
Benjamin Morgan
do you think there's a chance they'll sign my copy when I see them on the 30th
Joshua Cruz
>the only reason PINK was re-released was that the demand has been there for years and it's their best selling album If the Pink reissue sells alot though, they might see it as a good reason to reissue other classic albums of theirs.
Adrian Hill
I recently kind of gave up record collecting, its expensive, it's unnecessary, it doesnt really sound THAT much better, actually playing them isn't convenient
but I really want this record
Jackson Jenkins
...
Christopher Watson
I've only really listened to Flood tbqh
Pink I heard many years ago. What's so special about this remake?
Oliver Stewart
>I'm catching them in D.C. in August! Yo same Can't wait to hear My Machine and Pseudo-Bread. Shit's gonna be so fantastic
Dylan Fisher
prob something that had to do with Southern Lord owning that artwork
besides, the re-release is a replica of the original Jap vinyl release
Jeremiah Clark
first vinyl repress in a while, and has some outtakes
Noah Evans
I'm hoping to see them in CT. They changed the venue before I could nab tickets, now they're only offering them at the door. I really hope I don't get shut out.
Matthew Lopez
Seeing them in Brooklyn with Earth. What can I expect? What are either of them like live?
Owen Brown
>What's so special about this remake? A full LP worth of unreleased songs from the Pink recording sessions
Sebastian Collins
loud
Juan Green
How loud are they in concert? Should I wear any hearing protection or no?
Ryan Bell
wear hearing protection definitely, they're a noise rock band, they're gonna be loud as fuck.
Carson Robinson
Like what? I've never seen a band like this live.
Noah Nelson
Yeah I figured but I've been surprised (and frankly disappointed) before.
Jaxon Powell
YES, wear hearoes ear plugs - something with at least 30db protection or higher. They are loud as fucking hell. It's a wall of noise, beautiful, gorgeous noise. I saw them with Liturgy in 2011 (BOO HISS LITURGY, fuck off they were amazing) and it was one of the loudest shows I've ever been to. Was so thankful I wear earplugs to every show (and so were my ears)
I don't doubt that the colored vinyl editions will sell out, the standard one will probably sell well too. They may do a re-release of some albums on vinyl, I dunno. What label released Akuma?
