I have high end audio system (dont want to mention numbers but u lookin at xx.xxx$ system), and this sound horrible. It looks lime its not pressed from master tapes or its not mastered for vinyl.
I have for example storm ultimate reissue by the end music and that record sound x times better. I know its different album but it sound clearer, louder and better .

If you here for sound expirience that vinyl and your system can bring just avoid this . If u collector u can have this in ur collection just for fun .
