Kendrick Lamar – Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers

so crisp and clean! highly recommend this press, you also get a hoodie too lol

Mine doesn't click or skip, but it has the same dynamics as streaming while still sounding pretty compressed. I got my copy for pretty cheap and I'd only recommend it if you can too.

I will never understand why people think we’d want an unofficial pressing of an album that is not rare nor expensive, was pressed right after release, and is good sounding as is. Who is this for man

Sorry, Kendrick, but this just doesn’t sound great…

I preordered it on day one and was beyond excited for it to arrive. But unfortunately, the experience has been disappointing.

Even after giving it a proper wet clean with a record cleaning machine, the same issues persist—lots of surface noise, a compressed sound, and a mix that just doesn’t feel right. On top of that, the inserts are way too thin and already have big circle marks from the vinyl.

Really wish the quality was better because the music itself deserves a much stronger pressing.

Side A sounds a bit off
Side B sounds awful for the first half and then sounds okay
Side C and D sound pretty good

My pressing sounded bad, I got rid of it almost immediately. Thankfully GNX is much better, I was scared bc of this pressing. Got the cassette instead and it sounds better

Anyone else let down by their “Made in ”/MPO copy? Mine sounds really dull, especially the bass and mids, when compared to streaming off my phone via Apple Music and listening through AirPods.
Didn’t experience any issues with skipping or pops/clicks which is a relief, but I am honestly really disappointed that this press doesn’t sound nearly as full or dynamic compared to just listening off my phone using bluetooth headphones.
I am considering returning my copy and seeking out one of the Mexican presses cut by Chris Bellman.

Not a great pressing. Noisy and crackly.unfortunately. My black vinyl sounds better

No major issues. It actually sounds pretty amazing after a thorough wet cleaning. Did I say perfect? No, but it’s very listenable.

My first disc has a misplaced hole punch, the music is barely pitched up as I play it now and it sounds just slightly off to raise eyebrows. Anyone else have this issue?
