    I just bought this album but was very hesitant because of the reviews. Happy to report my copy plays silently and is flat. Maybe a newer batch? What a beautiful record.

      I can only echo the recommendation made elsewhere in this thread - do NOT buy this album on vinyl, unless you want to hear gentle, poignant music butchered by a low-quality pressing. The blame should equally be shared by that cost-cutting little suit at the label who decided to have this album pressed at a plant that apparently has no QC at all, and is probably run by a bunch of five-year olds.

        Disc one could be a touch flatter but not enough of a warp to affect the sound, pretty quiet pressings for the most part but some poor surface noise in a couple of places on Side C. Centered around solo guitar pieces that feel reflective and serene it's very much an album that feels personal and contemplative. Compared to One Quiet Night, which leans into a more folk-infused, acoustic vibe, Dream Box feels even more ambient and meditative, with looser, freeform structures. While What's It All About interprets covers with lyrical, melodic precision, Dream Box is more personal and abstract, exploring mood over melody.

          Waited and finally grabbed my copy last nite at his show in NYC at the Kaufman 92Y Theater and it’s whisper quiet without any surface noise or other artefacts described in other comments.
          Seen him live with PMG and other pairings and trios over the years yet last nite was Pat on a completely other level. Go catch him on this current leg of his tour if he’s near you.
          If you’re into his playing you will not be dissapointed and grab a copy of this while you’re there. Maybe it’s a newer batch but mine sounds great

            I finally got around to playing my copy, and I can confirm that, right from the first track, it is (as another has mentioned here) like rubbing sandpaper across one's stylus. It does subside slightly as the track progresses, but it destroys the listening experience completely. I was looking forward to this album, and got a signed print with it, but I am so fed up with substandard pressings that I too will probably not buy any new pressings anymore. I have about 2000 other LP's I can listen to from the last 50 odd years, so why bother? But it really is disgraceful what it is going on at some of these pressing plants.

            To the others that have mentioned here, has anyone managed to get a decent pressing after sending this crap back to the supplier? Thanks!

              My pressing is absolutely beautiful. No problems at all. Bought in Toronto's store this summer.
              No noise artefacts whatsoever.

                I’m guessing P.C. Of Belgium is about or rather named after Philip Catherine?

                  HI,
                  It seems that there is a problem of Noise artefact on the title
                  present in Qobuz Streaming service, Apple Music Service, even in the CD bought in store.

                  1; The Waves are not the ocean.

                  I can hear some strange noises on this title like distorsion specially

                  3:42
                  3:44

                  Is it normal ?
                  Is it present in the recording Master?

                  or is it some digital artefact

                  Anyone else experimented this?

                      I say this as a huge Pat Metheny fan; "don't buy this LP". Not because of the music, because it's beautiful, gentle, nuanced Pat Metheny at his best. I say don't buy this LP because of the bad pressing and crap vinyl used at gZ Media partnered pressing plant. There's constant vinyl noise throughout the LP that's beyond distracting. A recording of this type of music deserves the best quality media and pressing that is available. There's a number of great pressing plants out there, but gZ (and their partners) is not one of them. Besides the unavoidable ticks and pops, Pat's guitar comes off kind of muddy on particular songs (some of this can be blamed on choices made during the recording process, I think). If you want a copy of this release go with a CD or high-rez digital file. I'm listening to it on Tidal and it sounds fantastic and noise-free, as intended.
                      Remember, friends don't let friends drive drunk.....or press their vinyl records at crap pressing plants (like gZ).
