File this one under the listen to it yourself before making a judgment. Most R.E.M. rankings put ATS dead last among their 15 studio efforts. After hearing it for the first time I don't feel that way at all. It's not in the top half of their catalog but it's certainly better than some of their other post Monster albums. Definitely better than UP that curiously alot of folks like which to me doesn't even sound like an R.E.M. album. Around the Sun has an easy unplugged vibe throughout which is recorded rather well. These songs could have easily played on the Live at the Olympia lp which I love. My vinyl was clean sounding and flat and no side 4 issues which others have stated. Probably just stick with the black over the white vinyl.
-
I have some non-fill in the right channel on the last song or two of side 3, but other than that my copy is good. At some points between tracks the background actually approaches dead silent. Just a few pops/clicks total across all 4 sides. This isn't perfect, but I don't see a reason to avoid it. -
I took a chance on this US pressing vs the EU one knowing GZ Media were involved in the EU and it worked out well. In fact a major ebay player sold this for less with free US to UK shipping than buying from UK Amazon direct. I got lucky... my pressing is good. A little dish warp of disc 2 but no groove defects. Ok, they look typically American made what with the visible inconsistencies and scruffyness of the compound but the GZ Media can look perfect yet play like a dying fireplace so i personally preffy scruffy lookin and quiet which my copy is. I have no sound reference bar an old digipack CD. Say what you like about the music which weirdly mostly just gets critiqued for not beingthe 2nd coming of Automatic For The People but this was always well recorded and produced and so it shines through with this pressing.
Im happy! -
Unreal all of these labels that use KPG to cut records but end up failing by pressing low quality records. Great sound but most of the records I buy from Craft are subpar pressings. I was planning to sell all of my original R.E.M. pressings but will probably hold onto them with the recent reissues. I can't say there is a clear winner which probably means the best value is buying the reissues.

Running into some crazy wow and flutter on Side D. Anyone else experiencing this? Cartridge swaying back and forth to a significant degree as is the case with off center pressings. I'm usually not too picky but Side D is unlistenable. Like a cassette tape getting chewed up.
Kevin Gray's work is excellent as always but my pressing is a dud, unfortunately. -
Yep I agree with sebastion57 below. Best sounding version of this record I've ever heard. It's one of those "lost" REM records post Bill Berry that I was late to the party to but, have gone back to it a lot since the band decided to call it quits. It's two lovely quiet flat pieces of white vinyl so happy to have this in my vinyl collection. Now lets get a classic records pressing of Accelerate and UP in the works. -
Edited one year agoWow, this is the best this album have ever sounded. Was always a cluttered mess, much improved.Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound is listed on the album inner sleeve as the Mastering engineer. Cut at Coherent Sound by Kevin Gray.
