Reviews
Edited 14 hours agoI remember when I first listened to this album, I was a bit let down because I thought it sounded way too much like Bleachers due to Jack Antonoff’s involvement but it has grown on me. There are several gems in here, especially on the A Side. I was lucky to hear “Wintering” live in December of 2022.
The sound is not that perfect but still good for a clear variant!
Edited 6 months agoThis is one record that I can say has benefited from at least a couple wet cleanings to sound better. Out of the shrink wrap and only used a carbon anti-static brush and it sounded awful. So many cracks and pops as others have mentioned. Did two full wet cleanings, dried, and now it sounds much better. UPDATE: 06/28/24, there are only a couple of tracks that has some sibilance, most notably on When We Are Together.
sounds great, clean and very clear, no issues with my copy!- A little bit of surface noise but not unbearable. The music is very well mixed and sounds great.
Sounds perfect, no surface noise and I have zero complaints. I'm pretty sure that running it through my ultrasonic cleaner made a difference as well.
This album on vinyl is an unparalleled experience. A must-own. I play my copy constantly, it has a warmth on vinyl that makes for a very special listen.
A fantastic album and I LOVE this pressing. It's super clear and sounds great
Just got this from a record market and it sounds absolutely fantastic. I don’t know what’s the deal, but at the end of the last track the needle jumps back around 10 seconds and it just kept playing then stopped after a few times. Is this a feature of the record or was this just a weird error on my record player’s part?
I wish all records came with its own plastic outer sleeve like this one does, not only saves plastic but also saves me some money on buying sleeves
