I definitely agree with this, although this will also be my first BOC vinyl experience, so I look forward to that with equal anticipation.noby wrote:I'll probably listen to a digital version first, since I want to hear the album as a whole without any distractions (i.e. exchanging sides of vinyl) for the first time.
It's really interesting to see the pics of the varied spots/ways people will be listening first. I think your environment will definitely set the tone for how your ears digest the music.
Myself? I'm going to go with my gut on the album's surface aesthetic and run out to the Bonneville Salt Flats in Nevada--awesome desolation in the Silver Island Mountains, surrounded by 44,000 acres of salt flats--a totally fitting post-nuclear landscape. It's one of the few places in the US where you can see the curvature of the Earth. Depending on the day it's released, I have a couple specific spots in mind. It just depends which I can get to after work before dark, because I know I won't be able to wait very long! Perhaps out of this cave?:

or maybe a bit higher up if I have more time:
