I am actively looking for new music. If you are a band or a label or a publicist and you'd like me to check out what you're doing, review your music or interview you, contact me HERE. I am currently submitting reviews and articles to both AMP and Glide magazines as well as FensePost.
For the sake of consistency, I use the following guide when rating albums:
10 - Classic
8 - Best of genre
6 - Good
4 - Mediocre
2 - Poor

That is a great looking record. I'll bet it looks cool spinning on the turntable too. I'd just turn the volume all the way down and just watch the album spin for a while.
Wow that is awesome looking. I still haven't really given this album a listen yet, I forgot to put it on my Ipod.
Beautiful - makes my brown vinyl 7" of The Answer's Never Too Late look positively dull!
Mark - I'm sure the latest Dio album is soooo much better than the new Bad Brains (only in your world).
Jeff - I think some of the colored vinyl is part of why records survive. They give us something CDs don't. Much like CDs give us things that mp3s don't.
Bill - I wouldn't mind having The Answer 7" on brown by a long shot. They sound like a good band and I love colored vinyl. I'm going to start posting pictures of some of my cooler colored vinyl, so you might be interested in that as a fellow vinyl-lover.
Bob, Dio hasn't done an album in several years. Although he's busy playing large venues with Heaven and Hell. Someone has to take cracks at your bands every once in a while to keep you on your toes or else you might start to think you were right all of the time. It's on Megaforce and has a cool cover so it has that going for it before it even gets played. I have some colored vinyl, but have not bought that many in recent years. Probably half the ones I have were where I had no idea they were colored vinyl when I bought them. I might actually have cooler picture discs than I do colored vinyl.
I actually didn't know this was on colored vinyl when I bought it, so it was a cool surprise. I think colored vinyl is more prevalent now than ever, because vinyl is more of a collector's format.
I think you are right. The recent albums I have seen offered on vinyl (largely doom and death metal)are all on colored vinyl or have gatefolds. I think they almost have to be special to be able to charge a price the same as the cd.
I'm generally willing to pay more for vinyl than CD. The package is so much better and I can make a CD of it to listen in the car, but I can't press a record from a CD. I know I'm a bit of an old vinyl purist, but I really do like the format better.
Holy shit, well, I can't really take sides since I like both Dio and Bad Brains, but that's an interesting little scrum between you guys. Didn't see that one coming from you, Mark.
