    Sounds INCREDIBLE. I’m completely blown away. So happy with this pressing.

      Just got my copy from the recent restock and it sounds incredible. Very quiet with a full dynamic sound. The record could be louder overall but it still sounds exceptionally good. So happy to have this in my collection.

          Received a copy from the recently back -in-stock batch. Vinyl is flat (relieved after the Lyle Lovett) and exceptionally quiet. As others have commented, while it sounds good (this is a sonically/musically dense album as it is; could there be more separation? Yes; is it better than CD? Noticeably; is Apple lost a little bit in the mix? Yeah, a bit) but very much seems to be a non-analog or hybrid mix of some kind. I assume VMP would have said analog if it were so, as it does with other releases. The dead quiet vinyl confirms this to my ears. All that said, as a fan of WTP, I’m glad I have this. But there is all kinds of potential out there for a fully analog pressing.

            Mid-quality pressing, imo. Heavy disc, nice sleeve and nice jacket - the issue is that my copy has several instances of repeated clicks with no visible scratches. I have yet to clean it, and I'm hoping that's the issue.

                I've owned this one for a while and am finally listening to it. I'm playing it on a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO through a NAD C 3050 LE and out of some KEFs, with a subwoofer. To my ears it sounds very quiet, almost silent. I've had to really crank my amplifier which to me is the sign of a great pressing. Some of the midrange is a little bit muddled but I think that's intentional. Overall, a great pressing well worth tracking down.

                  I just acquired a copy this week and it is stunning. Not sure what's going on to explain why some hear a bad pressing vs. a good one, but mine is spectacular. Every bit as good as Tidal, IMO.

                    Extraordinary Machine reissue just announced by VMP. That will probably move even faster than this did...

                      I bought the record and listened to it without reading all these reviews. Quite surprised by the comments.
                      My copy sounds decent out right without any cleaning. Quiet, good dynamic, good bass, soundstage could be larger. Is it the best sounding record? Absolutely not. But if all vinyl factories manufacture to this standard as baseline i would be really thankful. You can complain about the package not being in gatefold, you can complain about the cover, or the price whatever it's subjective. But it sounds decent, fact. Not regret buying it for one second
                      And I like the cover, it's a "paying tribute " kind of cover.
