Look, when it comes to vocal recording quality, this album has always sounded like shit. It's a bizarre entry in Rza's catalogue when his attention to detail on other records is so much higher. I'm super sensitive to high end / treble, and some of the vocal tracks are pretty tough to listen to.... but that's no fault of the mastering. This pressing is phenomenal -- and it looks like more recent reviews seem to agree with me. Forever is a flawed production, but this is the best I've ever heard it.

Have to agree w the most recent post… this sounds phenomenal. Flat and quiet. Good dynamic and bass. I’m guessing this 2021/22 is just a better repress w the same covers and labels.

I just bought and received this from Bullmoose this week and my copy has no issue and sounds great. It’s quiet, no cracks, pops, or skips. Maybe I just got lucky?

This album always had distorted vocals even on the cd. Its the mastering that sucks. Other than that, dead silent and great sounding vinyl.

Not sure how the original is, but I have a feeling this pressing didn't use proper audio files. This sounds like when I used to listen to the mp3 at 192 kbps on my ipod back in the day, just on vinyl. The sibilance is on some tracks already, even if you have the right audio, but not to this degree where everything has sibilance. Nothing really sounds polished on this either, a lot of stuff sounds muddy and sometimes clash with each other or gets masked. If you really want this on vinyl to add to your collection then go for it, but don't expect a great sounding experience with this one. For some setups it might even be downright unlistenable, but like I said. More for just having it in your collection
I just noticed too all the discs have MOVLP 1055 etched into them so it’s just the shit music on vinyl release repackaged
These reviews are terrible don’t listen to them my copy has horrible sibilance especially on methods verse on reunited it’s Unjoyable to listen to get another copy save yourself the money and effort

Print mistake on the "Wu shout-outs" pages cuts out most of the "our Wu-peeps" chapter.
