As much as I like the packaging and music in general, the mastering leaves a lot to be desired. It's not very dynamic, the music feels boxed in compared to the lossless files. It's an underwhelming listen, which is criminal considering how incredible the music itself is.

i think i somehow accidentally ruined my side A of this album :(

went to play it the other day and it sounded super distorted and noisy
doesn’t seem to be dirty or scratched. sounded fine before I’m not sure what happened. anyone had this problem??

anyone have a disc 1 they’d be willing to sell? can’t seem to find any new copies of this variant any more…

Alot of noise on this pressing with my 2m Bronze, wasn't as bad with my VM95ML
Basse007 Oct 22, 2022
A lot of surface noise that i don’t find in the deluxe version, but the music is amazing.
tolik7777 Jul 31, 2022
Extremely noisy pressing. It is frankly unlistenable from on side B onwards.

No surface noise, quiet pressing. Sounded pretty good but not phenomenal.
jmo05 May 6, 2022
a little bit of surface noise but is hardly noticeable unless you are using headphones, otherwise it sounds amazing. packaging is great, comes with a nice lyric booklet and the blue vinyl looks great. would recommend

Completely flat pressing. Not a single pop, static or surface noise. Bought mine on the official band website.

For those who received a signed print, was it actual autographs or just random things written on an insert by the band members?
