Rage Against The Machine – Evil Empire

Has anyone come across a version of this album with no run out markings at all, but the correct labels and packaging for this version?

Incredible press here. Everything is the right place, punchy drum and bass, clear voice and crispy guitars. One of the best MOV releases

Incredible pressing! Super punchy and great instrument separation. 5/5 :)

The CD layer is definitely the pick here. Loud enough to be punchy, yet dynamic enough not to have no clipping.
Comparing the wave forms of the CD layer to the 1996 original is night and day.
The 1996 is brick walled and clips, whereas this fits perfectly between the lines.

Comparing the CD layer wave forms to the SACD layer is different.
The SACD layer is much too quiet and leaves too much headroom.

You will be reaching for the volume control way too much, however dynamic range remains the same between the layers just at different volumes levels.

The B-Side is a little of a letdown. It lacks punch and volume. Else this is decent, but in no way great as a record. It's very affordable.

WOW!! I have the original cd, the Steve Hoffman mastered SACD (which sounds very good) and the 2018 vinyl repress, but this absolutely tops them all. I’m impressed. Loud, aggressive, drums kick and bass vibrates the room, yet nice soundstage as midrange isn’t overpowered. Vocals front and center and balanced with guitars, nice depth so you can often place the vocals slightly behind the guitars! This is the one to own, my friends.

i've heard this album dozens of times and i think this is the most lively i've heard this album. bass is really nice, drums and vocals are really crisp. i love this pressing more compared to their self-titled

Evil Empire is an iconic album. There are some songs that stand out, my favorite being Vietnow. Some of the weaker songs on Evil Empire do not hit as hard and I often skip to my favorites. Bulls on Parade is such a well known song for good reason. However the contrast of how much I enjoy Bulls on Parade to most of the following songs leaves me underwhelmed. I love seeing other opinions this is just my view.

I just picked this one up used recently and side B is noticeably lower volume than side A. Anyone else notice this? A sounded fine and B I to crank WAY up.

My copy's back sleeve says "Made in Mexico" and has several typos (a lot of "Ú"'s where "io"'s should go). Nonetheless, the vinyl sounds phenomenal.
