My copy sounds great. While it’s not the quietest record as far as surface noise, it’s not nearly as noisy as many others I have and the slight rumble is only noticeable between songs.

To me this is their masterpiece and I love this version. The splatter looks great and the rest is a faithful repro of the original. Much better than the digital version I have, and the songs are in the proper order!

The Drums/Percussion on "We Live As We Dream Alone" just POPS off this record. I literally never heard anything so good percussion wise on vinyl with the exception of most versions of Surfer Rosa.

Got a Canadian lp , a little bit nervous about that pressing. However, nothing to worry about. «Uniform « is the. «Hit» here on side one. Side two , is just superb!

One guy buys a CD off his buddy a month ago and Now it's worth $70 US! Yeah right! It sounds better too if you take a Green Sharpie and color in the inner ring of the CD... Seriously! Try it!

My record sounds very decent. If you find this for a cheap price I'd say go for it.

A classic album packaged well but the surface noise on my pressing is very distracting. It could have benefited from a more thorough remaster.
