Reviews

secondcitywolverine Jun 26, 2023
Not sure if others experience this, but it sounds so quiet. I had to turn the volume up on this album much more than compared to the others I own.
CaramelizedGinger Mar 7, 2023
I’d take poor quality over what I have. My copy is the same on both sides. Both sides are side A! I hate when this happens! Paid GOOD money for it too!
Dead_Wax_Museum Apr 1, 2022
Not a great pressing at all. I don’t seem to have too many pops and clicks like a lot of other people here. It sounds like either a really shitty mastering or a pressing problem. The highs are an absolute god damn mess. They break up very easily and sound like static. It’s a great album absolutely ruined by a terrible pressing. Very disappointed in Jagjaguwar. I’ll steer clear of them in the future. This was a waste of money

Mine sounds fantastic! Flat record. Sounds dynamic, lush, and full. Excellent pressing especially compared to the OG. Mine needing a little cleaning as well.
cathodebias Dec 31, 2021
Something is weird with this press. Mine is quiet but there are no highs at all. Seems like a mastering F up

I initially hated this pressing, super noisy and felt flat. I gave it a good wet washing and the pressing significantly improved. It's still noisy, but no longer off putting as before cleaning. The sound seems to have opened up as well. Great album with a passable pressing.

My copy is faultless. It’s one of my favourite headphone albums.

Great album, but sounds pretty disappointing. A lot of surface noise, irremovable static.
eliduncan03 Dec 27, 2020
One of the noisiest records that I own. I don’t mind crackles and pops (cause they give a record character) and I actually prefer a few pops here and there... however, this one is far too noisy, especially with a professional setup. I love the record though and I cherish it, but it’s just not something I pull out too often because of its poor quality
ekhannya Dec 13, 2020
I must join the crowed here. It is one of the poorest quality pressing within my collection.
