Most of my colored records outside of VMP are single colored, so I resorted to a VMP press. Translucent vinyl with blue, orange, and green splatter.

I almost used it as the Friday 13 pick as I was lucky to not get the rice crispies pressing 🤣
It was a divisive pick when it came out, it certainly grew on me but, I have to be in a certain mood to listen to them.
It's certainly pretty.

While I consider black vinyl the best - I do like the effect of the translucent blue gives the rest of the colors. It gives the splatter a more 3D look.

I really like color vinyl. What you all have chosen so far are some of my favorites, too. I think maybe my most favorite style is pinwheel.

This also goes with the nautical theme of the band and looks like a propeller for a boat.

I gotta say...that cover piqued my interest. Purchased the Flesh colored off Discogs as I also liked what I sampled on Youtube.

I almost picked a pinwheel/4-way colored record myself...

Ha Ha, yeah I thought about putting a NSFW spoiler tag, but it's art!

Cool that you like them! And that pinwheel/4-way looks awesome.

Cheers!

Born in Dallas and raised in one of the suburbs outside the city, so a part of me wanted to play Mars Volta. However, living in Ohio since moving back to the states and having family from Ohio (me and my cousin are the only texans in the family) made me want to represent this beautiful state. The Devil Wears Prada was another screamo/meatlcore band that took up a lot of my time in high school, this album was especially awesome because it had guest vocals from none other than Craig Owens on it ~

Went into Used Kids a couple weeks ago looking for secret Santa stuff, and stumbled upon this album going for $10, instant grab, I felt lucky because I've been dying to get a Apollo album in the collection so when I stumbled upon this, I felt like I won the lottery
