Reviews
Edited 4 months agoI bought my copy 22 years ago. Steve Albini produced this - you can hear his voice at the beginning saying 'rolling' - as in 'tape is rolling'... anyway my copy has always been clean, no noise nothing but pure GYBE! (as they were prior to this album - had to keep the press on their toes with a re-positioning of an apostrophe)... the production is my favourite, 2nd'd only by the performance, which I think is my favourite of all the GY!BE albums. Most Constellation stuff, it seems, is recorded and mixed and mastered in analog, but there is rumour of a digital step in albums pressed in Europe. It seems this one was pressed in California, so hoping this amazing sound is indeed analog all the way through.
i've been listening to this album for around 22 years on & off, it was the album i discovered the band with, i haven't cleaned the vinyl that much to be honest (i'm actually listening to it right now) but it sounds brilliant, someone commented on how they/re record label presses bad sounding vinyl, but i'd have to disagree with that as my copy of this album sound fantastic, but each to they're own i guess.
i cannot comment on frequencies as i'm not a sound engineer (my cousin is though) but everything sounds good to me, i actually really respect this label .
I wanna say that I am happy with my pressing. The album is compressed and like every other Godspeed album, it desperately needs a remaster. But the vinyl itself only has surface noise I’d expect any record to have. I’ve had awful pressings where the pops overpower the music. This is not one of those.
The album cover is a screenshot from grainy war footage. The rest of the album art is composed of cardboard and duct tape. It’s their lo-fi record. This release has character. And the vinyl exclusive extended version of the final track is essential to its experience.- This label, Constellation presses horrible sounding records. and this one is no exception. Save your money and buy the files because this sounds heavily compressed. All the instruments are blended in together in one huge and imposing bloc. There is no soundstage, no dynamics, it feels as though the music is all in your head. No feeling whatsoever. Too bad because the music is really good...
Just gave this the first listen in few years, after a wet clean/anti-static run and on an updated setup (Rega P1+ with Audio Engine A5+ speakers). I am left a bit crestfallen; every side has persistent surface noise and lacks real separation. The guitars sound fine (just that) and bass can be resonant, but the drums feel absent. Any tension building sections don't deliver due to pops and muddy climaxes. Side D sounded acceptable even though the surface noise persisted.
Some folks claim this is their worst album. I couldn't disagree more. So many chilling, cathartic crescendos and gut-wrenching climaxes. It's a solid album by far. I also agree that the wax draws like a pencil, excellent sound.- This is the only album that willingly induces anxiety and depression while listening, yet you can’t turn it off because it’s just magical.
absolutly love the sound of this album, might be biased bit it doesn't feel the same listening on digital. also doesn't have the ending hidden track on streaming
It would be NICE to know where the hell this is pressed. About all I could find out is that it was mastered at Abbey Road, and comes from the Canadian label: Constellation (CST Records) BUT... where is it pressed...? Canada...? Optimal...? Be nice to know guys...
Edited 8 years agoThis is the definitive version of the album. I've never listened to the George W Bush track until now. It's absolutely haunting, despite being a product of its time. "we encourage you to avoid giving money to predatory retailers and superstores" Well I'm glad I bought it in a local store
