Excellent version of this album. Much less conpressed, more airy, that level of slight relaxeness that was needed to listen to it throughout and want more... just a better mastering basically.

Great pressing with a really dynamic and encompassing sound that fills the room through my setup. Flat, quiet, and no complaints.

Recommended purchase!

Put through a full wash cycle then a full autocycle (wash and dry) on my HuminGuru before being played on a Pro-ject DC Evo with Ortofon 2M Blue, through the MM phono stage of the Cambridge Audio Evo 150, to my ears though a pair of Klipsch Heresy IV.

Please Note: My star rating system is based on my own beliefs and a big part of it is based on the amount of times I will actually play it, or how much that album means to me personally.

I recently got it on sales for 56€, but wow the pressing is just plain bad.I can't imagine how disapponted must have been the early buyers at full price. I should have looked for review first. The cd remaster is good on the other hand, and the boxset is rather qualitative but man the vinyle records sucks

I can’t fault this pressing at all. Dead silent all the way through and the sound quality is fantastic. But with confidence 🤘🏼

anyone compare this with the 2015 repress? Is it better?

Terrible copy. I have heard bad copies before, but this sounds nothing like vinyl. If the earlier pressings are any different, pay and get one, because the album is fantastic.

This is the Muse album that I listened to the most during my afternoons studying for high school, so many memories.
bought on amazon on sale for €83, arrived in perfect condition.
The discs are flat, silent and clean, the book and the packaging are of excellent workmanship. I'm not sure that this remastering is the best possible ever, but what matters now is having this incredible record in my collection.

I don't really comment much on discogs, but this is such a spectacular pressing that i just had to. The bass and guitar just slam you in your face here. My definitive pressing of one of my favorite albums ever!
