Hypocrisy – Penetralia

This CD has an average Dynamic Range value of 7

My version has a black tray, not transparent, anybody else has this?

Despite people complaining here, I pulled the trigger and got a copy and I loved it, the sound is really good and dynamic for such an old album, the gatefold is sturdy and the picture quality is not excellent but very good. Was it worth it? Indeed it was, it's just people like to complain a lot these days.
I only wish that it included an insert with lyrics but no and I guess we all know Peter's perspective on the lyrics and that's probably why.
Overall, very good repress, if you are a fan you must have it your collection.

Nuclear blast should be renamed nuclear warp,
Shame to them, of 7 reissues i bought, 3 warped records, among them this version of penetralia and the purple version of osculum. I will NEVER buy again any nuclear warp records. Avoid AT all cost, give your money to other labels.

Can only recommend the 2019 CD reissue of this Classic. It has the right unzoomed Coverartwork.

This is great, The vinyl sounds awesome and Dan Seagrave's art looks beautiful on vinyl, the debut Hypocrisy album. pull the trigger & get you one!!

Looks like a piss poor job on the layout front:

I'm honestly pretty disappointed. The pressing is really good in and of itself. Unfortunately, Nuclear Blast has done a miserable job with the cover. The artwork is very blurry and the colors totally pale. It looks like a bad bootleg to me.
I also don't understand why they released the album in a gatefold. The inside is just as blurry and actually meaningless. Instead they would have been better off printing an inlay and releasing the album as a single sleeve, that way you could save some more shelf space.

Taken from my own "DOCdata Germany NB 0164-2" copy. It seems there is at least 3 different mastering (or just level shifting) for the different CD editions of this great album.
