One of the many problems avoided by buying a high quality copy of the digital file which was used to make the master which was used to press the plastic disks which then get played by scratching a needle on them, thus creating many audio issues.
But that spoils the whole game of trying to reduce those audio issues :(
Even if they do it doesn't really make enough a difference that anyone should care. The sound quality of vinyl is inferior to streaming or cd audio. Everything from hiss to an off center press to dust on the master will degrade quality. Its part of the entire experience, less sanitized than pushing play on yet another lifeless song created by a committee out of UMG.
Ideally, no dust, perfect conditions, etc, analog records sound better. Digital at high enough bit rate just doesn't degrade and is easily reproduced bit for bit. That said, almost no one can tell the difference and just pretend they can. The amount better is so insignificantly small. That said, some records are mixed differently than the digital versions and often change on rereleases.
Homogeneous black vinyl 180 g is pretty much the standard for quality of sound. These look pretty, but they don't survive as long. However, they're not going to break in 2 weeks.
That is generally a thing. For years the unwritten rule was that anything that wasn't black was for wall art and not playing. The theory was that black was better due to the lack of other pigments. I have no idea if there is a sound difference but I still avoid non-black albums out of habit. Also cheaper now. Thesr splatters can get spendy.

Thought it was going to be colored popcorn. Then encrusted taffy. Then a bedazzled butt plug. What a ride.

I'm amazed that blobs of plastic can be turned into highly detailed music like that.

Just let me eat ONE, is that too much to ask?

one the industrial press got involved, I was pretty sure it was not-food

I have a copy of Abbey Road like that. It doesn't sound right.

Oh, it‘s a record, not candy. That‘s nice to, I guess…

I'll have one with chocolate and strawberry flavor, please

So your saying that your mind was playing tricks on you?

So far 95 of us agree with this and likely a few more than that. I was let down but love the result regardless

I had my money on hydraulic press experiment. I wasn’t too far off, it seems.

What is it? It isn't anything edible, so what's the point?

Its a fancy vinyl record, a hobbyist analog music storage format.

The paranoid engineer in me wonders if the pigmented bits of vinyl age differently from the primary material, altering the tracks over time.

They sound like garbage and won't ever see more than 12 plays. They're novelties.
Sometimesithink
Yeah no. I have plenty of splatter vinyl that I've listened to at least once or twice a week(and often more) for years. They still great to me.

Some audiophiles claim that using anything but the solid black stuff makes it sound wrong. They won’t buy records like this one.

Yes, these are non-archival. There's a space for that in the market.

I still rather have people buy vinyls (or CDs) than giving up physical media in favor of streaming where nobody owns anything.

There is probably an audiophile out there that claims that some colours sound better than others.

Fun fact: the black color is already a pigment as the pure material tends to be light-grey to translucent.

Given most modern records weren't mastered for Vinyl, they tend to not sound all that great either way.

You can really tell when the needle moves over the green bits.

The pink-speckled vinyl just sounds warmer, maaaaan.
