As others above have observed, this pressing sounds and plays great. A bit surprising for 90s vinyl, but whatever they did works.
Edited one year ago
As others have said, this is an outstanding sounding pressing, exceeding all expectations for a 90s US pressing. Sounds fully analog to me (possible as the SPARS code on the CD was AAD), dead quiet and incredibly lush. Can't recommend it enough.
Wow, I have to agree with the other reviewers here: whoever cut this deserves a reward! Managed to get this album in mint condition, just played it on my TT and I'm baffled by the sound. Haven't compared to the first EU/UK presses or to the newer MOV/Rhino versions (I know the consensus is that the MOV sounds great - though that is a brand new digitally sourced vinyl cut made from the tapes) but this is seriously just how an FNM record should sound on an analog medium. Imaging and soundstage is top notch - you can hear the slightest details like the cymbals even in the busiest trakcs such as Get Out or The Gentle Art Of Making Enemies. This is the signature sound of Andy Wallace for sure (he likes shiny, almost over the top type of mixes) but this record brings these details out just perfectly.
Packaging is oddly super minimalistic - just two super thin records crammed into a simple slim jacket. That's it. No lyric sheet or nothing. I guess two LP's were enough to produce already, the record company didn't want to mess with anything else especially in that age when CD's were taking over everything.

No comments?! This is one of the best rock music pressings I've heard in my life. To start with, an amazing mix by Andy Wallace, and whoever looked after vinyl mastering duties did an incredible job. Every track is so lifelike, crisp, astounding almost 3D stereo imaging, the music pops out of the speakers and fills the room like the band are right there. I owned this long before any reissues were available so can't comment on those, but nonetheless highly recommend this to any FNM fan.
