referencing The Epic (3×LP, 180g, Box Set, Album) BF050
Sounds like nice spiritual jazz from around 1969-1971. I do not get what the hype was about.referencing The Epic (3×LP, 180g, Box Set, Album) BF050
I found this used yesterday, there’s no reason to own it on vinyl over digital but it sounds fine. Not tone poet/analogue productions level but I’ve heard much much worse- This pressing sounds like I'm listening in my living room, but the music is playing in my garage. Except for the surface noise - that's so clear and close I can practically touch it.

An epic indeed! With that being said, I never listen to this all in one sitting. Great music and an even more meaningful album if you're a fan of his contribution to Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly. I certainly am!
It is inferior to the digital version sounding muffled in comparison. However, I wouldn't have noticed if I didn't A/B it. With the presentation, you'd believe this to be a great value but after hearing it, it seems rightfully priced.- Edited 10 months agoKinda pissed about this one. Such a classic (and "epic") album, but the pressing kills me. Muffled and over-compressed. No life to it; missing all dynamics. And the mastering levels are super low, too. A+ for the music; C+ for the sound quality.
EDIT: Ending up returning this one, despite getting a fantastic price ($35). Not worth it when I can listen on Spotify where it sounds BETTER than vinyl. referencing The Epic (3×LP, 180g, Box Set, Album) BF050
Sounds like crap. Compressed all the life out of it...Too bad, because the music is awesome.referencing The Epic (3×LP, 180g, Box Set, Album) BF050
Pretty disappointed with the sound on this one ... I'm not a hardcore audiophile but even to my amateur ears, the 3LP box just sounds dull and muffled compared to the digital. On its own merits, it's fine but if you want the best version available – LP is not it.- PROS: The packaging and presentation are absolutely stunning! The price is also very reasonable and affordable for this which is good since Brainfeeder could have easily made this a $70 box set.
CONS: As many have mentioned already, putting 30 minutes on each side is going to sacrifice some sound quality. I definitely noticed a low volume on the records but once I turned it up, the music sounded decent. Nothing mind-blowing but it's able to fill the room without anything sounding muddy or distorted. In terms of pressing quality, I did notice some surface noise on my copy. Disc 2 and 3 are OK as the pops and clicks are really only present in-between tracks but disc 1 was probably the noisiest out of the bunch. There are repetitive pops and clicks near the end of "Change of the Guard" which didn't last too long but it was distracting at times. Again, this is just my copy so others may fair better.
Overall, it's an "ok" pressing. It could be better but for what it is, it's a solid purchase if you're looking to pick up a copy.
