Battles – Mirrored

Excellent pressing that really rivals the original pressing. The mastering is insanely good on this, and of course, the album is absolutely amazing as well. Definitely worth getting.

Saw them play this live at the much-missed Astoria in London in 2007. They were totally immense. And they were great after Tyondai left, too. ICA gig was mental.

I bought a used copy at Amoeba Hollywood in 2008. It came with two Disc 1s. If anybody out there has a spare Disc 2, I'll gladly trade with you :)

I've got this pressing, brilliant all the way through. Except mine has a weird quirk for the last song on side 4 - if you play too loud, it will skip! Or at least silence for a second or two then come back. It might be my amp, but does anyone else have this skipping effect?

My god, this on vinyl is an entirely different experience. It’s so much more *musical* instead of some flattened beeps, boops, drums, and clicks. Lol. It’s like it was only on DVD before and now it’s on Dolby Vision. And at parts it ROCKS, which is missing in digital. Oh and the vinyl is heavy and shiny and dead flat after all these years. Gosh darn, get one.

The mastering is phenomenal, but I have a small scratch at the very start of Tonto (B1), which is annoying af. Otherwise it's one of the best-sounding records in my collection

Great album and glad to get it on this press. Sounds fantastic and so loud compared to others.

I’m also finding that this pressing isn’t great. Very flat and a bit muddy. Doesn’t have the sparkle or spaciousness of the digital version. Not egregious by any means, but I’m scratching my head over all the high praise in this comment section.

Seems crazy when I look at all these other comments but this record sounds flat and muddy to me. I’ve been listening to this regularly since it’s release digitally and this pressing disappointed me.

Mind boggling artistry and production one of my go-to’s when Eno isn’t cutting it. Wonderful.
