Thoughts on Feedbacker vinyl third man records pressing?

I just made an account to ask this question, I am a new fan and was thinking about getting the feedbacker vinyl from third man records, but from what people are saying, its apparently pretty noisy in comparison to the original pressing. Is it really that noticeable? There also isn't a lot of information about it on the Third Man Records website, does it come with a poster or anything like that? Thank you for your help.

What’s your favorite rendition of Flood?

I’ve only heard the studio and live in Tokyo 2012 and was wondering if there are other great/better performances.

Right now I prefer the 2012 rendition; Flood III is just so massive on that recording.

Is Vein combined a thing?

Has anyone tried playing the hardcore version and the noise version of vein simultaneously? Does it sound good?

Why is Flood incomplete on Apple Music?

The album is finally on Apple Music but it’s only parts 1, 4 and 6, and I thought there were only 4 parts total. Anybody know what’s going on?

Got around to listening to dronevil final..

I have never in my entire life heard anything like this. This album has some of the heaviest fucking riffs (probably of all time), the most massive sound I've ever heard, and it's probably the most immersive album I've ever heard. I was laying on my couch frozen for the entire album duration with my eyes closed. I didn't even want to move.

By the second track it felt like I was in a different world. The riff scared the SHIT out of me when it started but god damn was it amazing. The soundscape (I think that's what to call it) is so fucking insane. It took me to a different realm. I vividly remember imagining being in a void of pitch black with massive gray pillars shooting into the sky around me. MIND YOU- I was fucking sober!

And by the third track, I shit you not I got close to tearing up. When that high pitched guitar started singing in my right ear in the storm of pure fucking distortion and bass, I just wanted to jump out of my god damn body and float to the cosmos. At that point the jumpscare riffs were pleasant surprises.

And then the guitar at the end, holy shit man.. I have no idea what this album is about, if there's a story to this one kinda like flood then I'm assuming the guy coughing in the second track is part of it. Absolute masterpiece.

How do I listen to Dronevil (+-final)?

This may be a really stupid question. Recently wanted to tap in to Dronevil but im not sure how to play the sides simutaneously, Which songs do i have to listen at the same time to have the better experience?

Any other recommendations?

I've spent the last hour crying with Farewell on repeat, any other songs by them sound melancholy/sad themed? I pretty much only know Gensho but I'd be open to other songs that sound like it.

Digital for 'fade' only available through vinyl purchase?

I didn't listen to the album when it first released but want to give it a listen now. Since it's not on streaming, I went to Bandcamp and there's no option to buy the digital separately. Idk about dropping $45 dollars for a vinyl rn, any other way of listening to this album?

Edit: I got it digital

just abandoned myself's background

when i'm listening to just abandoned myself i always wonder how they created that heavy background that continues for all 18 minutes of the song. Online i wasn't able to find anything and i figured this was my best shot. If anybody has any idea please let me know!

Is it just me, or did Apple Music switch out the 18 minute version for the 10 minute cut?

I swear this used to be the long cut
