Spiritbox – Spiritbox

Let me start by saying I own all the variants, even the original clear with black splatter (waited over 2 years to get my copy from the band) and this pressing has to be worst one yet. I opened my copy a year after it was released because I have a huge backlog and realized my copy has tons of imperfections. The vinyl is severely warped (I ordered 10 other newbury records along with this one, but this one was the only one with defects) and the way the edges were trimmed was not the same all the way around. One edge looks like the rest of my records, but on the opposite end, there is tons of pvc that’s untrimmed. The color is just a simple maroon color, but there’s tons of black specs all over the vinyl and looks unintentional. The record has these crater looking pockets all over making me thing this is an inferior copy that does affect the sound of the record. The thing that annoys me the most is the label on both sides of this vinyl are very off centered and just unpleasant to look at. Overall this copy has made me more vigilant about buying records online and will ensure to always check my sealed records once I get them in the mail. Stay away from this variant at all costs.
