it's the man with the golden eye ball : (

he haunts me...



also Dev. What happens if they do live up to the hype?



though I figure I'd agree with you. But the record may pay off tenfold if only for the fact that after a decade I don't think anyone has any real idea of what to expect.



They've released EPs, remixes and singles since, but I doubt album numero-dos will sound anything like those tracks.



as long as it doesn't suck I'll be happy.

5 years ago I was told we'd be given a record by 2007's end that would be SO FUCKING PARTY I'D DIE.



WHAT THE FUCK AVALANCHES I'M STILL BREATHING OVER HERE.



I've been waiting for their second record since I was 17...I'm 24 now.

Its like hoping for Chinese Democracy...to be good.

It'll be without a doubt the greatest piece of art in human existence. It will single-handedly bring

about world peace. It will prove and disprove God at the same time...I bet it'll sound cool on vinyl

too.

well we all know it'll sound better on vinyl than it does on fucking cassette.

tell you that much for sure.

Album Rating: 5.0

I think there is that very rare possibility that the new album (if of course, there is a new album) could be better than this, and if so they deseve a pat on the back. I don't see it happening though

New Avalanches will come out in 2012 and end the world

Album Rating: 5.0

I think at this point The Avalanches are fucked. Even if they do release another album it'll never be able to compare with the expectations we have. To be the follow up to this album and to be 10 years in the making I can't see how everyone will not be just a little disappointed with it. Best we can hope for is just something solid



My thoughts exactly.

"i have a vinyl fetish but i think some albums sound better on casette."

That's physically impossible.

this is like the most ridiculously amazing album ever.

sly.

Cassette cannot sound better than vinyl unless you use a piss-poor stylus on a scuffed record. This is based on physics alone, which is why I said physically impossible. Everything else is in your head. So get a new stylus. Or cartridge. I really don't know what's wrong with your turntable if you think a cassette sounds better.

Here are some quick facts from Wikipedia:

"Consumer analog cassette tapes may have a dynamic range of 60 to 70 dB. Analog FM broadcasts rarely have a dynamic range exceeding 50 dB. The dynamic range of a direct-cut vinyl record may surpass 70 dB."

"High-quality metal-particle compact cassettes may have a response extending up to 14 kHz at full (0 dB) recording level (Stark 1989). At lower levels, cassettes typically are limited at the upper end to around 17 kHz for the best machines, due to the nature of the tape media and the tape speed chosen by Philips for the format (which was originally designed for dictation.)

The frequency response for a conventional LP player might be 20 Hz - 20 kHz +/- 3 dB. Unlike the audio CD, vinyl records (and cassettes) do not require a cut-off in response above 20 kHz."

Edit: These might help too. Read the subsections.

I don't know if you studied physics in high school or college, but if you have basic knowledge of mathematics, it shouldn't be too difficult to decompose this subject matter.
