I dont think ppl understand what the eco-mix is exactly. It's not recycled vinyl per se, the only  is made from 100% recycled is the standard black variant, the eco-mix ones (color) are made from of all the scraps form other vinyls that are put together to make a new one instead of being discarded (see video bellow). This is why the colours vary so much cause it's a mix of yellows, reds, blues to make the final product. But since the material is the same there's not really logic on blaming the eco mix for bad quality.

 

She also already had her "recicled" vinyl in HTE era. Never heard any complains then, idk just find it weird cause her and Finneas are really peculiar with sound/mixing im sure there is some sort of quality control they wouldn't put out shitty vinyls on purpose. And if she thought the sustainable ones were really bad she probably would try to find other solutions.

 

My best guess is probably the way they press the vinyl in different factories idk. I have several vinyls and a good record player (not outstanding but better than those crosleys and stuff like that, I had one of those years ago and it sucked so bad).

 

As I said I don't have any complaints from my copies but if people have maybe contact her label and report it cause maybe it's a bad batch of vinyls and they can replace it? idk just a thought...

 

 

It's probably a factory situation then, it seems that Europe got the better batch of vinyls this time. From what I've seen, you guys got the "best" (correct) colors too  

 

Compare the Europe Amazon exclusive vs the US Amazon version:

It's possible that sound quality differs for similar reasons (maybe?) Hopefully they can prevent this from happening to future US pressings :dancehall:

Hmm you do have a point. Perhaps something simply went off with the pressing this time, which is a bit of a shame because this album would've sounded glorious on a good setup.

It seems like she won't push for #1 after all. First week under 100k

The gap with Taylor is getting bigger again (last week it was around 20k)

Eco Mix vinyl is usually dirty scraps, so that's why it sounds pretty bad with huge crackles and pops throughout. Because it's literally dirt ENGRAVED in the grooves, that cannot come off with cleans. 

 

But that's not the issue with the vinyl though. The mastering and the mixing is SOOOOO BAD :rip: the volume is super low, the bass drowns out her vocals, and of course the amount of static noise that comes out of it. 

 

There are some Eco Mix vinyl that sound great or at least decent. The new Adrienne Lenker vinyl is Eco Mix and sounds amazing. 

 

It's a shame that her best and possibly most musical album has the worst-sounding vinyl pressing. HTE vinyl sounded great for the music being very down-tempo and ballad-heavy. WWAFA vinyl sounded decent for being a 2019 pre-COVID/vinyl boom album.

I loved CHIHIRO video although the song is so emaculate that no video will do it harm. HOWEVER, I need that ***** to book Joseph Khan and let her label spend a little. I need some good high budget videos for this amazing album :tsk:

The greatest performance is finally in her channel.
