Of Monsters And Men – Beneath The Skin

Can still buy these new for $100 with discount codes from the links mentioned below; have no idea why there are recent sales way above MSRP. Stop feeding the scalpers.

Nice pressing. No problems with mine. Hardly any surface noise. No distortion. No sibilance.

dont buy it for 90 usd here, its in stock for 21 eu from the label

Sounds very flat on the sides where the bonus tracks are added. Compared to the CD or the EU (Clear) vinyl version.

Anyone know how many of these were pressed? Thanks just curious.

You can still buy this new as of today on the OMAM website, 30th July 2016. Have to say I bought a copy of this new, was pretty disappointed. You basically get 3 bits of vinyl which are nice, but the rest is basically just paper, even the 'photographs' are just non-gloss postcards, the outer packaging is quite impressive but a bit of a faff to get into and is let down by the contents, especially in the context of the asking price. Compare this for example to Biffy Clyro's latest box set album release of Ellipsis where you get 3 bits of vinyl, a hard cover book, hand written piece of lyric from band, 3 art prints, 1 signed by a member of the band plus digital album and singles - this for exactly a third of the cost of the OMAM box. I ended up selling my OMAM box set, kept the Lithograph I paid the extra for mind, as I was lucky enough to get one of the signed ones which looks pretty cool. In summary - I'll be sticking to my regular LP version of this album.

Does the islandic version contain a different mastering like the previous album?
The difference on 'My Head Is An Animal' - compared to the world wide release - is huge.

First 500 Copies come with handsigned lithograph.
