Okay, but it's not awful quality, no? Like I enjoy listening to my albums on vinyl but the HMHAS cover would look magnificent on the vinyl format, otherwise, I would have got the CD in a heartbeat :deadvision: I mean IDK ahhhh. IDK why we have to make vinyl eco-friendly since they are preserved by 70% of their owners and can last a lifetime if maintained properly. My friend's mom still has vinyl dating back to the 1970s and 1980s that would work.

I dont think ppl understand what the eco-mix is exactly. It's not recycled vinyl per se, the only one that is made from 100% recycled is the standard black, the eco-mix ones (color) are made from of all the scraps from 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 Billie 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...

TTPD was #1 for 28 days on Spotify, then HMHAS took over, as of now 29 days.

 

 

 

For AM there's Kworb, but they have a methodology there, you can always go for the #1's, Billie still has 45 #1's on AM after a month and Taylor only has 3 #1's.  

 

 

Any new Spotify updates?

I dont have Twitter to look for myself and am making that thread

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:

US:

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.

When the BIRDS OF A FEATHER video is just a video of a bird in a cage while Billie sways in the background.

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:
