Reviews
Not a fan of this pressing. Surface noise and sound not as full as expected.
First time i heard about this group, was when a frind of mine toke me to a concert with them, and i was blown away. What a LIVE band they are (saw them in Aarhus/Denmark). This 1 press (US), has everything u can exspect from a genre like this. I think iit could be compressed, but it doesen´t matter a lot, because the music is so potent and with a lot of dynamics. Great album, from a great band, not like your everyday rock band. Cheers from Denmark.
Great pressing. Big, loud and beefy with lots of dynamics. All of the interesting instruments/textures are heard.
