Is Lazaretto's vinyl copy the coolest fucking vinyl to ever be released?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-8B-_Jq2roWhat are other vinyl records with gimmicky shit like this?
everything else jack white shits out
If by coolest you mean gimmickiest or most moronic, then sure
>>48279159>>48279166>not thinking this shit is cool as fuckWhat the fuck is wrong with you?
>>48279120That was really neat, OP. That floating angel, though - holy shit.
>>48279301What's cool about it? It's a ploy to sell more albums (at a higher price) without having to rely on any kind of musical talent Jack White is an arragant douche who has capitalized on the vinyl trend to make more money for himself. Lazaretto is just another example of that
>>48279301no, its just a cheesy gimmick designed to sell records. jack whites marketing team probably spent more time on the vinyl then he did on his cheesy album.
>>48279120>What are other vinyl records with gimmicky shit like this?Didn't Dead Weather or one of his side projects have fruit-scented vinyl?
>>48279377I actually picked up a copy for myself today. The angel isn't hard to see at all. It's neat as fuck.The only gimmick I can't get to work properly is the under label groove, and that's just because my record player automatically lifts up the needle and resets itself if it is past the inner loop.
>>48279393What is so bad about having a bunch of gimmicks included in a vinyl record? Isn't that the whole point of vinyl? To be more interactive than listening to an MP3?Sure, it's all intended to sell more records but that's like saying the only reason big name actors are included in summer movies is to sell more tickets. No fucking shit.And the music is actually really fucking good. I have never been a huge White Stripes or Jack White fan but Lazaretto's actual music shocked me by how good it was.
>>48279505High Ball Stepper is GOAT.
>>48279120You're half right. It's certainly gimmicky shit.
>>48279401only when you wiped it a few times with your shirt or something similar
vinyl gimmicks cant hide a shit album
>>48279831>some guy named Will said it was bad so i don't like it
>>48279858yeah thats why i dont like itnot because its fucking boring or anything
>>48279831>hating Jack Whiteis this really a thing, now? I've never been a huge Jack White fan but I thought he was pretty much universally praised around here?
>>48279920maybe if you're talking about white blood cells
>>48279920what is there for me to praise about him
>>48279968his musicbut i'm pretty sure you're just intentionally being retarded now
>>48279120"Never Been Done Before: The Vinyl"
>>48279120Boy, I know why but that video was really depressing. They both seem so sad
Some records that share the same gimmicks:Andrew Jackson Jihad/Mischief Brew split with micro grooves that play acoustic/electricJeromes Dream/ Orchid split which has both bands on one side. You start it in the middle on either side of a space between grooves. One side plays out and one side plays in. I'm pretty sure that the outside has a locked groove, but I don't really want to dig around for it right now.
Jack White sucks
>>48280038Are you kidding me? I've never seen Jack White grin so much in my fucking life. Especially at the end when he says you don't need "a sliderule or a compass to enjoy it" and then remembers that you have to remember to place the needle on the inside on side 1 to get it to play right. He looks so pleased with himself.
>>48280115After watching this video I legitimately think Jack White is autistic
>>48280051I believe Weird Al Yankovic did something similar. It had two groove lines that didn't intersect so you never knew which album you would hear whenever you dropped the needle until it started playing.
>>48279301one or maybe two things would be cool. 67 gimmicks shoved into one record is dumb.
>>48279920His first solo album is pretty forgettable
>>48280160>Weird Al Yankovic
>>48280173NO MAN IT'S INNOVATIVE IT'S THE FUTURE OF VINYL. EVEN MOOAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR EXPENSIVE
>>48279393jeez buddy, you dont have to be such a miserable prickyou ok, man?
>>48280177his second solo album is ever more forgettable. At least the first one had a few good tracks like Freedom at 21
>>48280173the love of gimmicks is why vinyl still exists
>>48279393>(at a higher price)I picked it up for $20 today, man. Most of the other new albums by big name bands sitting right next to it were going for $25+.
>>48280227I liked the single cause it plays on the radio and breaks up the monotonous bullshit of modern alternative rock.
>>48280340you listen to the radio? o.O
anyone else doing this would've been cute/weird/eccentric/hobbyish but when jack white does it it feels like a guy spending 9 minutes talking about his custom minecraft yugioh cards or something
>>48280247thinking vinyl is a 'gimmick' denotes that you obviously don't listen to records, so why are you even in this thread discussing the merits of vinyl production? lose your way faggot? your stupid death grips thread didn't get any replies? your mom's funeral got boring so you're here bothering us with your passive aggressive horseshit? stick to a thread where you can actually contribute something instead hiding behind a shield anonymity in order to compensate for your short ginger penis. maybe /sp/ is more your chimpanzee speed thinking process. perhaps /b/ has some naughty milf pictures that might keep you busy for awhile. anything that keeps you away from the community at large with your stupid bullshit will work just fine.
>>48280353>gimmickswhen I'm driving placescause it only has a cd player
>>48280353>using emoticons on an image board
>>48280381did you even watch the video he's not saying vinyl is a gimmick he's saying all the needless bells and widgets on the lazaretto vinyl are gimmicks
>>48280403you know there are these things you can plug in your cigarette lighters/power outs that can set up a small radio station for your ipod, right?
>>4828038110/10
>>48280381Nigga, what? I love collecting vinyl. I have about 40 records right now. I spin them quite often. But if you think this vinyl resurgence is due to anything other than it being one giant gimmick, you're delusional. The audio quality argument is complete bullshit. Vinyl is just a quirky way of listening to music that some people enjoy.
>>48280154I mean, he does play music.
>>48280445Those things sound like ass.
>Jack White
>all this Jack White hate
>>48280227>freedom at 21>tfw you will never be dominated by a black sexy-cop and sent to stripper jail
>>48280227>>48280757The riff to Freedom At 21 reminds me a lot of the one from"Cross-Eyed Mary" by Jethro Tull
>>48280556because radio sounds so much better right???
>>48280752Well ofc, because this thread is about post 2004 Jack White
>>48280154>>48280373what an interesting link
>>48280911are you drunk
>>48279831>styles: fedora
i never liked his solo stuff but I love how Jack White always tries to innovate the music industry in different ways.He's a real thinking man of the over saturated business although Lazaretto is pretty lame. Love The Dead Weather though.
