    What a great mastering! I'd go out on a limb and say that it's better than the work done on Kaputt vinyl reissue. I think this one has more punch, presence, separation, sharpness.

    As for the pressing, great work as well. Really few clicks, surely nothing majorly distracting, if I'm being honest.

    ★★★★½

      Excellent mastering. Not one of my favorite Destroyer albums but this is a much better experience on vinyl
