Edited 3 months agoMan I love my copy, but side C has such rough sibilance distortion on the vocals. Luckily it’s the shortest side, but still has such great tracks on it. Bass sounds amazing across both discs and there’s little surface noise for me luckily.
My copy played great! Some minor pops but nothing major. Love the color as well!- Edited one year agogot this at a local record store , side a has some pops in really quiet spots, side b sounds gorge . my first disc is warped, my second disc is 140g (i think), side c sounds really good with some pops on anything,side d has a lot of crackles at the first verse and chorus of normal girl. OVERALL: it has really good bass and it sounds good for the most part, and my pressing has green swirls when you put it in the light.
I just picked up a sealed copy, replaced the paper leaves, and did an ultrasonic clean before playing based on the reviews. It sounds nearly flawless. Dead silent with superb dynamics. I wouldn't hesitate to pick up a recent new copy of this.
Love the album but after mixed reviews I’ve seen of the pressings, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was fortunate enough to receive both LPs as nice translucent green, and for the most sounded really great. Side 3 had slight static. I prefer that over good packaging anyways but the inner fold seemed distorted. Told myself it’s just the style that’s fine. Then the labels look like something I would have printed out off word in 2005 and not symmetrical. Still love the album and happy it sounds great! All that really matters
I bought this on impulse. I have heard great things about this album. Listened to it for the first time on this and It was amazing. Great album and amazing press. 10/10
seeing the reviews on here and other resellers, i was definitely worried about the sound on my copy. i picked this up recently at a barnes and nobles after looking for over a year now, and i was very excited. after cleaning the records, i only heard around 4 pops and some static. static was vert heavy at the beginning of side a,b, and c but stopped by the time the song started. i also noticed some static during the middle of love galore and beginning of supermodel, although i did use the same dirty brush i used to clean the other sides so maybe ill reclean it in the future. i also noticed the trash paper sleeves included made the sides of disc one kinda cut off. besides that i think the records sound fine and the bad reviews on sound have either not cleaned the records well or they were just unlucky i guess. very excited to own this though 🤗
just cleaned this record , not sure how yall clean it but after clean , my copy sound better than before
This variant has had multiple represses and the quality still hasn’t been fixed. Even after a wet clean, it sounds awful. I went through 3 copies and each one has cracks and loud pops every couple seconds. Side A/B also was pressed off center, and my tone arm sways badly so you can hear a slight distortion.
my copy is very noisy, even after a wet clean. sounds like it's mastered quite nicely otherwise, but sadly pretty distracting.
