    A stunning presentation of this “album of all albums” on vinyl. However, the Japanese SHM-CD is still the best sounding version of this album in existence..
    • ascensionmusic_'s avatar
      Among one of the best sounding pressings that I have. But no download code :(

        An absolutely amazing album, and an equally amazing pressing 10/10

          Incredible pressing. Clarity and detail is amazing. Probably the best sounding record in my collection
          • onedecadelater's avatar
            10/10 incredible pressing. So many textures shine through compared to previous releases. Superlative packaging and an overall great item. If you love this music, this is the pressing for you.

              The definitive digital version is good, but this is amazing. Pressing is fantastic, mastering is fantastic. A+ all around.

                Is it the case that the US copies have poly-lined sleeves and the EU copies come in the cardboard sleeves? Bought an EU copy but had to return it due to scuffs and this white dusty residue that was on the lp's. Are the US copies better?
                • ulooklikeifeel's avatar
                  Anyone get an oversized punch hole on disc one? I’ve gone through two copies with the same issue.

                    This landmark album hit like the perfect storm for me. Innovative, unlike anything I ever heard and smack dab during the peak of my defiant teenage years. Needless to say, I played the shit out of it over many years and then I shelved it. I didn't think I needed this vinyl. Was I wrong. It's like I'm revisiting a long lost friend, hearing new nuances and having a renewed reverence for this masterpiece. Era defining album that has aged incredibly well. They gave this reissue the love it deserved. Unquestionable 5 stars.

                      Finally nabbed a copy of this classic album on vinyl. No major complaints whatsoever. I do wish that when these reissues are referred to as definitive, the LPs would come in poly lined inner sleeves though. I appreciate the reproduction of the printed inner sleeves, but the edge of the records ripped through the edge of both of them. Outside of that, this package is near perfect. 🤘
