Edited 29 days agoConstant whooshing noise with this one. It's low enough that you can't really hear it most of the time, but it's noticeable on the quieter songs (during K.O.S., for instance). Might be due to the pressing being slightly off-center? Pretty frustrating, as I love this album :/ -
People have been saying that this is a bad pressing because it’s a picture disc.
Those people have bad equipment or they are just nitpicking. It’s not the best pressing in the world but it’s totally fine and it sounds great. I’m playing it on a Technics SL-BD3 (Ortofon OM10 Stylus) and Audio Techinca LP120XUSB (The green stylus). Although the B side sounds a bit duller than the A side, it still doesn’t ruin the listening experience for me. I reccomend it and it also looks beautiful! -
Edited 5 months agoI’m not gonna lie, I was expecting this to sound really bad based on all of the reviews I’ve read. I just gave this a full listen and honestly, it sounds pretty good to me. I’m not sure if they’ve increased the quality since the earlier pressings, but I’ve had noisier picture disks that ive spent way more money on. Hopefully they press it on normal wax but for $23, i’m chillin with this pressing -
