      do NOT buy this Mov reissue. It's the worst one out by far. The official reissues from 2023 are way better and the ORIGINAL pressing is even better than that. The MOV stuff is a massive waste of money. The artwork is also WRONG on the MOV reissue, they've used the CD artwork (not surprised) the LP has a variation of the photo.

        Just compared the MOV and this, and I'll take this hands down - loudness level is a tad lower, but it's way MEATIER and more balanced overall, the low end being more pronounced and the mids more defined and the soundstage, depth and air are as good as it gets - fantastic reissue !!!!

          Only 85% with 61 ratings!? PLEASE…have you heard this!? One of the best LPs of the 90s and sounds like magic. A little compressed, sure, but it’s a 90s alternative rock album. A wall of guitars, crisp drums, deep kick, vocals out front. Massive.

            I've tried 3 different copies of this (from 2 different vendors), and 1 of the new reissue of Ferment, and all 4 have little scribble looking scratches on them. 2 copies of Chrome had them in the same place, at the end of Crank (A3) and well into Broken Head (A4). Terrible quality control from the plant on these as it appears many have the same problem.

            I was sent replacements from the label, possibly from a later batch, that are scratch free. I'd love to know what the hell happened but am glad to have these scratch free reissues. They will probably be my go to copies because I don't want to risk damaging the originals.

              I don't care what the source is, or any of that stuff... all I care about is having this masterpiece on vinyl, and that it both sounds GREAT, and was not overly expensive. Best I have heard this album ... and I can say it sounds way better to my ears than the CD ever did.

                I've ordered two from Amazon and both have quite a few pops and crackles even after cleaning. Other than that, it sounds pretty good. Not sure if I should try for a 3rd.

                  Crackling and ticks caused by tiny scratches that you can see under light.
                  I am so fed up with new vinyl having these! Feel ripped off paying $40 for a single LP with flaws. Not looking forward to getting Ferment in the mail.

                    The MOVs were sourced from CD. These reissues sourced from the original masters. End of sonic debate.

                      Just opened my copy direct from Proper and had some pretty bad manufacturer scratches.

                        Nice quiet pressing with good dynamic range and sound stage. So nice to have this in my collection at a fair price after eyeing original , pre-owned pressings go for $300+ at auction.
