The XX – The xx

Nice and quiet, which is vital for a record like this. There are no mind-blowing sonics here, but if you like The XX, that's not an expectation.

sounds excellent and the color is gorgeous 🥹 really happy to own this pressing

Just snagged one of these freshly traded-in to the local store on the cheap. Excellent condition so I bit the bullet. Happy to report there are no sibilance issues aside from the last track on side A; probably an inner groove issue. It's not super pronounced. The rest of it is problem free however and sounds fantastic. Nice pressing too.

Fine pressing of an already great indie rock alternative album. Definitely recommend.

Usually I’d stay clear of any glow in the dark album , let alone one with a lot of tracks squeezed together. As it was a present for my other half I relented. Expecting it to sound awful i was amazed to hear it sound spacious and punchy with only the tiniest swirl sound at the start of side 2. Amazingly no snap, crackle and pop either!

What about surface noises ? Is it worth it ?

So many sounds I haven't heard on the songs! Such a great pressing.

Hands down the best pressing of this record I’ve heard. 12/10.

I ordered this not expecting much considering how my black pressing is so crackly/noisy, and this album absolutely demands REALLY well-pressed and silent vinyl because of how sparse and minimalistic the music is.

Well, I’m extremely pleased and surprised to report that this thing sounds phenomenal. It’s absolutely dead silent with really excellent mastering that’s clear, dynamic and punchy when it needs to be. Glad to finally own a quality copy.

A little bit of surface noise here and there, but otherwise sounds great and the vinyl color is beautiful.
