This album sounds truly phenomenal. I don't think I've heard such a good pressing on vinyl since CSNY's 'So Far'. It's amazing. It's so well balanced, dynamic, warm and bright. Beautiful!

This album is just a beautiful piece of art. I had several approaches to this in streaming and finally got it.
The sound is outstanding in every way.
Some clicks and crackles here and there, a half-minute audible scuff on B1 and even a loop on D due to scuff - definitely not a greatest pressing for my copy.

Nick Cave's music has never been for everyone. He's always been someone who put expression before appeal, and it's hard to imagine that a record designed to express the kind of loss and grief that inspired this one was going to be a fun or exciting listen. So it's a little hard to read some of these comments as anything other than "this is not for me." And that's fine. But if it is for you, then this is a fantastic album and the production value is very high. Great pressing.

Best album to come from a grieving artist. Absolutely beautiful!
Vinylstone Nov 14, 2023
Music: Goosebumps, captivating, touching
Pressing: flawless, dead silent groove

A Masterpiece

Beautiful moody album about loss, bright horses sends shivers through my spine. Sound quality wise also great quiet record with good dynamics.

Hilarious commentary on an artist who created and dedicated this album to one person. Hint: you’re not that person.

nick cave goes yoga music. nick cave goes yoga music.

To the music. This is a sensational piece of art coming from an extremely unbearable place. What a channel Nick is, really incendiary.

This pressing is absolutely incredible. I don’t think I have a pressing that is so perfectly bought to vinyl. I’m astonished the dynamics coming across here. Truly a beautiful piece of art lovingly bought to our ears and hearts.

And yes, the LP cover is so beautiful. Top of my listening pile. Wow.
