      I haven't listened to this band at all, but would buy this album just because of the artwork

        Se il sound del tutto particolare del quartetto newyorkese è rimasto invariato rispetto all'effetto sorpresa dell'esordio "Ruby Vroom" ciò non pregiudica la bellezza di "Irresistible Bliss". Blues, Jazz, campionamenti, elementi industrial, hip hop, cantautorato metropolitano e reggae si fondono in un magnifico soun che non ha particolari. Perla dell'album "How many Cans".

          Super bass-heavy mix. Mids and highs are kind of muddy as a result. Very small amount of surface noise. It's not as bad a pressing as the reviews would indicate, but it could be better mixed.

            Yet another promo cassette exists. Different white printing on clear tape case. J-card white with black lettering. Cat. No. 4-46175-A. Tape duplication by WEA Manufacturing.

              I think this reissue sounds pretty damn good. Smooth highs, thick low end and an excellent soundstage that really projects the music into a bigger sound. The pressing is also high quality and plays dead quiet. Overall I think it’s a decent reissue. That being said, I favor the original, the only real reason being there is slightly better bass definition (even though this reissue has great bass too!) so it’s really a minor thing. Also, there is minor sibilance on Super Bon Bon but it really isn’t bad, I’ve heard much worse and I’m listening with boosted treble and it definitely doesn’t hit me in the ears the way bad sibilance does. Both issues sound great I’d grab either one if you can.

                I have to respectfully disagree with both of the previous comments. This vinyl issue sounds awesome. The soundstage alone on the vinyl issue of this album will blow anything the CD has to offer out of the water. The vinyl has a touch of nice analog warmth that enriches the music with a full, bold sound. The depth and clarity of the music alone is unmatched. I think the problem for some might be the bass. The bass is slightly overdriven. But I can crank this thing pretty loud and the low end still retains its definition and everything still sounds crystal clear. Really nice, punchy realistic drum sound, deep bass, dynamic vocals and exemplary detail on this record.

                  I find it odd there are negative reviews for this pressing. I heard of the negative reviews from someone else that read them here. Zero problems with my copy. Sounds great!

                    After going back and listening to both the repress and the original 1996 pressing on a few systems, I've come to a conclusion. On lower to mid-range setups the album doesn't sound all that bad, maybe equivalent to listening to a 192kb/s MP3. It's only on higher end players that the record begins to sound a bit naff. So, if you're spinning the record on a Rega RP1 (even with the upgrade pack) for example, it's not too bad. If your system is too good it'll sound crap.

                      The 2015 reissues of Soul Coughing's albums could be described as a lazy cashgrabs, and you would be right. However I do feel the negative reception is slightly overdone.
                      First off, the artwork and record pressing is professional, record has very few clicks and most of them are quite light. The inner sleeve is generic with the cellophaned sides. As someone previously pointed out, "Super Bon Bon" definitely wasn't mastered properly and has major sibilance problems that none of the other tracks have ("move aSSSSide"), which is very odd . The cut otherwise does sound very good. I can't tell if it was remastered or not, but it still sounds damn fine.
                      If you want this on vinyl, it's still probably worth it, even with the poor job on "Super Bon Bon".

                        Anyone else getting really bad distortion on the vocals during "Super Bon Bon" especially when the letter "s" is pronounced? The rest of the album sounds great, so I'm wondering if it's just my copy that's messed up or if they screwed up the mastering.
