Great buy at the prices it's going for (around $20 usd). Sounds great and the gatefold album jacket works amazing as an art print. Unlike one of the bad reviews, my copy has no sibilance whatsoever. The rough draft of FJM's novel is a nice touch. The music holds up and I think it's a classic of the 2010's for sure.
-
Just to put it out there, my copy of this pressing is extremely poorly done. Horrible sibilance on the vocal track throughout the album, and both sides of the disc skip for the first 30 seconds or so, ruining Funtimes for me. I might have to buy another copy with how much I like this album and there being no other complaints I can find about this pressing.
-
Seems there is a 2021 repress that exactly matches the runouts and design here - but it has a strong, clear inner and no card. I could not find any other differences...when pressed with the same stamper - does this count as another release? I tend to say no, but those fine and subtle differences are known to generate new versions on DC over and over... :)
Sound of the repress is still very good - vinyl like it should be made. -
Good quality materials, flat and quiet. A really phenomenal album front to back content wise. -
-
Great album and great release. Love this one. Lovely artwork. Perfect quality. This is why I buy vinyl. -
A perfect example of an expertly written and executed album. Josh's voice layers over the wonderfully melodic, yet catchy tunes that make this LP so irresistible. There is not one song on this album that I ever find myself skipping past, and the record spins great (unlike Sub-Pop's release of his new album).
