Audioslave - Audioslave - (Vinyl LP) | Rough Trade

It's a scary thing, replacing an over-played record with a brand new press, but doing so with Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures worked a treat for us. This album, with the exception of a couple of lighter moments, is pretty consistent in it's style and perhaps a couple of tracks could have been dropped because it does seem to drag on a little but there are plenty of highlight tracks to admire including; 'Like A Stone', 'I Am The Highway', and 'Getaway Car'. It's an album that feels suited to the format – it was originally mastered for vinyl, after all – with the rolled off treble offering warmth to Bernard Sumner's often hauntingly sparse guitar lines and Ian Curtis's affecting vocal, and it still comes with the same textured cardboard sleeve. This could have have sounded a lot better, so count this one as another album trashed by Rick Rubin’s production. Just got my copy, finally, and played it for the first time yesterday, nothing of note really jumped out at me as far as the classic vinyl sound of greatness.A standout track of the 2021 mix, Across The Universe, is almost completely new with how clean and spacious it sounds, and claws back a lot of the more distorted, low-fi charm of the track’s earlier mixes. Morello is a talented musician but his constant weird picking and tapping get on my nerves after a while, luckily on this record its less evident (but still does it way too much). That being said, if I’m being honest with myself it is pretty mid-tier taking lyrics, songwriting, and production into account. A routinely great artist, much of Sufjan's universal appeal comes from his skills as a gifted narrator, pairing personal musings on love and devotion with commentary on American culture, whilst welding folk and electronica, the ambient and existential.

As nostalgic as some of these songs are at this point, this album just does not hold up particularly well as a cohesive project. You can find out more about how Technics has been defining turntable culture for half a century and the company's SL-1200M7L Limited Edition turntable. No doubt we all have some of those gathering dust in our collections, but likewise there are those records where the vinyl sounds so good we can't help but spin it nearly every time.

The reason Music For Films makes it to this list though is precisely because we weren't totally enamoured with it before we heard Showell's half-speed version running at 45rpm; the sonic upturn in all from detail to dynamics, though admittedly often subtle, for us gave the music new dimension. As a mainstream rock release there are quite a few guilty, overproduced, pop-like bops you can find on here. Between his more raspy grunge voice and the smoother singing one, so many of these songs are just great to listen to just for that. Now with a massively successful US tour opening for sweet soul darlings Thee Sacred Souls behind him, 2023 is sure to be a propitious year for Daptone's newest signee. I can’t compare to MOV release as I’ve never heard it but this blows the CD and any streaming out of the water!
