Love this album. The Rose Rouge cover that's the lead track is, in my opinion, one of those few covers that totally blows the original out of the water.- Nubya Garcia's track has me worried about my turntable every time it starts. LOL But Jordan Rakei is a genius... do not sleep on that guy. What great production and concept. Really well executed all the way around... but yes: the track listing on the album cover vs the wax itself is hilariously jumbled. The tracks are correct on the album itself, however.
Sweet selection of tracks and this pressing sounds good on my system. The tracklisting on the sleeve is incorrect though: track B4 is actually the first one on disc 2.
I loved the music on this album the day it arrived. That said, I just put a new needle in the stylus and listened again; it was a new experience. super clean and immersive production. Not sure if this was a different pressing run than others have referenced, but i'll give this a 5/5 in the listening pleasure department.
Music and project are interesting: there are some beautiful tracks such as Nubya Garcia - A Shade Of Jade, Steam Down Featuring Afronaut Zu - Etcetera or Blue Lab Beats - Montara. Music 4/5 stars.
As for the pressing my copy is flat enough but there is some background noise here and there. Pressing 4/5 stars.
Sound quality unfortunately is instead not good. My copy sounds compressed, like if there is veil in front of my speakers, and soundstage is narrow. SQ 2.5/5 stars.
The music is tremendous, if a little vocal heavy.
If the Grammys had a category for the worst liner notes, this would be a favorite. The musician credits are a jumble instead of listing the song with the credits beneath. Not only that but both sleeves are identical repeating the same information on both. A new Emma - Jean Thackery track is worth the price of admission.
