Reviews
- Pressing is absolute garbage. So disappointing as its such a fantastic bit of music.
Factory sealed record, too quiet in parts, un-dynamic, with too much surface noise and clicks and pops.
Shame on you mute! - This needs a repress on black vinyl. My friend owns the blue one and we played it and the surface noise makes it sound like garbage. This one is much better as digital.
Excellent album. It is full of very deep and profound moments as well as heavy obtrusive parts. Unfortunately this is a bad pressing with excessive surface noise especially during the more quite and beautiful sections. I exchanged my copy at my local record store and it still has the annoying surface noise. Mute records claims I am the only person who has reported this issue. Wish they would have pressed this on black instead of blue vinyl.
