i've even kept away from here for a while because every other thread seemed to talk about it and how shit/amazing/let down/great it is

but i did see someone compare it to a thousand leaves and my heart went boomboom caffcaff boomboom caffcaff for a little bit.

Matador gave the world one of the worst possible first impressions of the album possible at 128k/bit. The stupidity still boggles my mind (is this really 2009?).

I will learn a lesson from all you people who waited when the next album is released. SMART!

Dude, really!?!?

for someone so concerned about sound quality you didn't think to ask what bit rate the stream would be before you bought it "for the stream"?

will you just shut up at once? Have you considered the possibility of contributing to these forums other than with your constant bragging about this bitrate thing? What's your problem?

his problem is that it's in 128kbps and it's 2009 do people realize it's 2009 and 128kbps doesnt do music justice cause music is about hearing 19999hz frequencies you know 128kbps just isnt quite right :fuckyou: :fuckyou: :fuckyou: :fuckyou: 128kbps i had a dream about 128 kbps once and it wasnt a dream it was a nightmare like all this stream thing is seriously do they realise it's 2009 why fuck fuck fuck 128 < 320




what a psycho

Poverty. I simply can't afford to buy it now. Given the comments I've read from the most cynical and/or critical people here saying they love it, my anticipation is at an all time high for this one.

I just didn't care for the quality of the stream. I have old albums I've ripped at 128kbps and they sound better than this stream to me. Maybe it's because I can't adjust the EQ as easily in Firefox as my usual media player, I'm not sure. but I will definitely wait until I have the album in my hands before I start digesting it.

I was gonna wait for the album, but I just couldn't wait any longer.

what's wrong with you (you said it, not me) is that you're waiting for a CD RELEASE.

a true old fashion weirdo would wait for the SWEET VINYL.

just saying.

i want the double lp with the extra lp all shiny like the hair of a cat.

Skuj 05.11.2009 08:14 PM

Haha.

I bought my first CD in 86. I'm just sayin.

I just assumed a company like Matador would be a bit more with it (pun intended). I won't make that mistake again.
I do appreciate the other little freebies (320k?) but what truly excited me about BEGN was hearing the new album early (which made my ears bleed, nicely pictured btw).
