Really nice mix on this vinyl. Good balance. Low end is tight, punchy, and decently large. Mids / Highs are crisp and clear.

I received no die-cut sticker sheet. What the effing fuck guys.

Disappointing sound quality, sounds a bit muffled. Nice to have for nostalgic reasons, but definitely do not overpay.

You can get this on amazon UK for about £12. Sounds fine to me.

I had this when I was a kid but it didn't contain any bonus tracks, just the album

The mainstream successor to The Offspring's Ixnay On The Hombre, this album is actually really good. There may be some people who would prefer Smash over this and I am one of these people, but yet this album has a lot of good stuff. The red vinyl is really good but my biggest issue is that the surface noise (I bought it brand new and cleaned it off before playing) is really loud and sometimes overpowers the music, however, I got a crappy turntable. I do kinda wish the color was also a bit more exciting as the Ixnay 20th Anniversary set had Gold vinyl which was good enough, I kinda wish they used a red/blue split but overall it's an really good pressing! It's more of a 4.5/5 reissue.

I have a very similar copy with the same Matrix/ run-out, but it is not marked "Made in Poland" anywhere.

Sounds a bit flat, but overall a decent pressing, heavy vinyl
