Flat, quiet, and dynamic. No clicks, pops, or surface noise. Newbury Comics has some signed copies on their website for $30. Worth it!! -
Not the best pressing in the world, has some surface noise and whooshing (mostly on side A for me), and the mastering is a bit odd as others have said. But for the price ( code, cool colour, a little book), I can’t be too upset. -
Frenetic guitars,strange & ambient noises in background,chaotic at times,whisper quiet & psychotic vocal throughout. Keeps you guessing on every track. -
Flat, silent, and beautiful looking.
Requires some amplifier tweaking to hear it properly, however. Don't quite get this pressing technique. -
My copy was completely flat, centred and silent with no noise to speak of.
The mastering is quite dynamic and certainly packs a punch when it gets loud. :-)
It was pressed as a beautiful blue translucent. Gorgeous album and a must own if you’re a fan. -
-
First time was a disaster, as my record was badly water damaged. Thankfully, the second time around things went off without a hitch. -
-
Good pressing. My only issue with it is that it’s pretty quiet. Maybe that’s why people have problems with noise? -
My copy sounds fantastic. huge dynamics, and I didn't notice any record noise. Now for the music on this album, I am still not quite sure what I heard. This one needs a couple more spins.
