Other than the AFI album, there was only one other LP that I picked up from Wanna Hear It. I flipped through the racks for every one of them, but this Modern Life Is War album was the only one that I was interested in.
I own the first two Modern Life Is War albums, and while I think they are okay, with the exception of a great song here and there they were never really exciting to me. The third album, Midnight In America, on the other hand is a solid record through and through... very easily my favorite MLIW record, and yet somehow I'd never picked up the vinyl for it. The past few months has had me checking discogs, trying to decide which version I should pick up. I'd hoped to grab an early pressing, but when I was in Wanna Hear It and saw this third press, limited to 300 on gold vinyl, I figured that this would do the job.
When I saw the version of the record in the rack, I wasn't completely sold on it... but once I pulled the record from the sleeve and saw that beautiful gold vinyl, it looked too good to resist. So yes, quality colored vinyl matters. If this was that shitty metallic looking color that people try to pass off as "gold" these days, this record would still be on the shelf at Wanna Hear It.
