Notes

B7 is an unlisted track, although it gets mentioned on the tracklist of the backcover as "Aerials Contains A Hidden Track".
Total runtime of B6 is given with 6:11 but because both tracks are seperated with silence in between the tracklist is reflecting the actual song durations.

I have the 2023 reissue of this vinyl. The record is quiet, in fact it is the most quiet record of my collection.
I recommend.

This is definitely a significant improvement on the CD. The brickwalling is significantly reduced and the music is enormously more dynamic and explosive as a result. The cover is somewhat underwhelming though.

Sound is suuuuuuuuppppperrrrrbbbbbbbb very very good words words words words

This sounds great to me, super dynamic and great instrument separation. If there was any criticism then the low end feels a little light but nothing serious.

Is there a way to know if I have the European or USA pressing without opening the sealed copy?

It's a pity that a great band like this is almost unlistenable in CD, due to the massive brickwalling they suffer from. As a result of that, the only way to enjoy this masterpiece without ear fatigue is by listening it on vinyl. Don't understand the hate, for starters this copy is dynamic, exactly a dr12, and mine sounds clean, full, and definitely much better than de original CD.

I just played mine for the first time and it sounds great.

After so many comments about poor quality, maybe the problem is just inconsistency - some are great and some not so much.

Anyway, mine works great and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this album after so many years.

My copy sounds good. I washed both sides of the record and then played through a Fluence Reverence RT82 Record Player with an Ortofon OM10 cartridge, an Art DJ Pre II external preamp and a pair of Edifier R1280T Powered Bookshelf Speakers. Sound fills the room with all the instruments playing through clearly. Very much enjoying this!

My pressing sounds fine, was a little hesitant after reading the reviews.
