Notes
Enter is the debut studio album by Dutch symphonic/gothic metal band Within Temptation, released by DSFA Records in 1997. The album prominently features lead singer Sharon den Adel's vocals as well as guitarist Robert Westerholt's gruff death metal growls. Lex Vogelaar, founder of the Dutch death metal band Orphanage, supplied the guitar parts for "Pearls of Light", as well as producing the album, and Orphanage vocalist George Oosthoek performed some of the growls on "Deep Within".

- Edited one year agoI have a second copy now, as well, #4931. (The other is #1419.) This one is better, though there's a bit of a rough start on both sides, clearly due to pressing issues, as I cleaned it ultrasonically before playing it.
I should also say something about the music. I LOVE this album. It might be Within Temptation's best. After the success of "Ice Queen", they become a bit more poppy. This is a really original sort of mix of metal and shoegaze, in a weird way. The song "Enter" reminds me a lot of Cocteau Twins at their best, but much heavier. - My copy of this has a horrific pressing defect at the start of side 1. It's completely distorted. It's bad enough that I had to skip forward in the song. I don't know if that's one-off or if it affects more copies. Side 2 also has some minor issues at the start, though it isn't nearly as bad.
For anyone who's curious, once that's all avoided, this is a pretty good pressing. Compared to digital streamed from Qobuz (44/16), it's got more definition and sense of space, though that may be more due to the fact that my vinyl playback system is somewhat better than my digital one. referencing Enter (CD, Album, Repress) DSFA 1007

This is an official DSFA Release. I have the same and believe it or not I got it from the founder Anthony van den Berg himself.
This info was first in the notes of the record, but doesn't belong there. I don't know who submitted the info but it is interesting enough for the discussion

COUNTERFEIT ALERT: Russians made fake CD's of this album, and these copies were sold (possibly are still being sold) on amazon and are described as brand new. Many resellers also bought these fake CD's to sell them at higher price, so these copies are currently in the circulation. Please note that, these fake CD's are well made and are shipped from UK, and if you don't know how to spot a fake CD, you might think that you bought a legit copy at decent price.

5+ for the music, this is one of my favorite albums of all time, but I have to give this particular release a 4 because there is what I'm pretty sure to be a mastering or duplication error in the middle of the last track--a section of zero samples. I don't think any information was LOST per se, as the blank section can be removed with a computer audio editor to restore the complete track, but it sure is annoying to hear a huge pop while listening on a regular CD player. :( Maybe it's just my copy--does anyone else have it?
