Gojira (2) – Magma

Requesting an “audiophile” repress at 45rpm. Maybe for the 10th anniversary?

Mine has a different text layout underneath the barcode. Doesn’t say “Made in E.U.” and only lists one catalog number instead of 3. Not sure if that warrants a separate listing. Thoughts?

3/5. Pressing sounds OK. Not bad, but not great. Always unfortunate when the digital sounds better than the vinyl. Hopefully this gets a vinyl specific remaster soon with the popularity of the album, cause this is a phenomenal album and deserves that kind of treatment.

Anyone have the black lp with the hype sticker? I

Hey

So trying to identify my record
1686-174791
Barcode reads 16861747916
Matrix / Runout (side A)142956E1/B
Matrix / Runout (side B)142956E2/B

which are the run out numbers for the Gold version...mine is not gold????

This is a really great Gojira album. Overrated by newcomers, underrated by OG Gojira fans standards apparently. It sounds great and is super thick.

Not sure why people are knocking this pressing, there is some decent soundstage here, sounds really good cranked! My copy sounds dead quiet.

i definitely have 1 version of variant 4. And a second version (whitch is unopened) but has a "Made in czech republic" sticker on the back cover. whitch variant is this?

Mine is 142956E1/A and 142956E2/B. Sound is excellent for the genre, dynamic and can be played really loud. Definitely not mono as some other reviewers suggest.

I went back and compared to a digital version. Sounds about the same, so if you like the digital version you will like this one. Again, definitely not mono.

Grabbed a copy of the latest pressing (Aug 2021) and it sounds fantastic, if a bit compressed. Pressing quality is solid. Totally worth adding to the collection!
