i got a copy of this at hot topic back in the day…sold it for way too little, figured a disc from hot topic was probably not anything rare enough to ever be worth anything…lol whoops…same thing happened with obzen on red vinyl…again, oops… -
Album sounds great but a fair bit of surface noise and crackling during the quieter parts even after a run through the spin clean. I’m also the first and only owner of this copy and have played it maybe 3 times.

These vinyls were not just sold through the website. I a friend and I each bought a copy of CTS at their Edmonton, AB show with Dethklok, Converge and High on Fire (Oct 7, 2009). When we opened them the next day, they were both Red/Gold swirl ... I bought the red/gold swirl LP when it first came out on the website as an "exclusive 650 copies website only", so I was surprised. There couldn't have been any more than 10 vinyls for sale at the show, the stack was pretty small.
I also the next day, their website saying they had "limited" quantities on the current tour. There may be more than 650 copies, unless they saved some for the tour.
Everywhere I check, no one mentions these tour copies; only they were sold exclusively through the website, which is not entirely true. -
Great album as i am sure most of you know...but this vinyl copy, the single LP version, i found the volume to be just too quiet.
i always want to have this album cranked pretty much all the way through but i always find that i continually have to keep turning it up more and more, and then fear maxing out my speakers with too much power. Not sure if the engineers did this on purpose; i was thinking maybe it was put together a bit more quiet so as to refine as much of the detail as possible but...
i sought out the 2x12" version but have not opened it up yet to see if it makes any difference what version you pick up, but i will leave a review once i test it out.
All in all this is worth it most definitely to own on vinyl, not too expensive either i think. Just do not expect to be able to blast it like i am sure most of us would!
---Hope this helps
PS- Maybe if someone else found this they could let me know, incase it is just simply something in my set-up...but i do not think so.
