Metric – Fantasies

Fantastic clean sounding pressing, a total beauty too, one of the best looking records in my collection.

With the new blue release i revisited this one and i would like to point out. This one has a shiny gold embossing on the words METRIC on the cover and spine as well as on the entire tracklisting. However does not have the postcard sheet...

Where is this color variant being sold? Is this a tour exclusive? Cause then I'll just buy it there.

Also can confirm the vinyl sounds great but has rough edges.

Agree with the comment below, vinyl sounds great but has sharp edges and has a minor warp. Looks beautiful

This puppy comes with pretty ragged (unfinished) edges, and of the few I've bought (at shows) - a varying degree of warping! But it does look great and the colour matches the butterfly artwork!

Picked up on their website for $24.99 plus shiping also have a ton of other vinyl on there don't overpay. https://ilovemetricstore.com/collections/music

I have this release as well as the previous RJ/Sterling pressing from back in 2017 or so. The older RJ/Sterling release seems to have more high frequency reach, with a bit of sibilance.

This particular release has more tame vocals, no more skipping on the end of track 1, and the bottom end sounds really nice and fat, even moreso than the sterling cut..standout on "help I'm alive" Its a good release, but sounds flat at times, whereas the sterling cut has a bit more liveliness.

Between the 2, I'd get the sterling cut, but this one isn't bad at all to have. I might just sell this one off and live with the skip. In either case a KILLER album! :)

I just got this! Can't listen at the moment but just FYI, this is far from being gold color. It's more like plain warm olive/khaki color. It's not shiny/reflective either.

After the gold sold out the standard black repress is back on Metric's site
