Reviews

This might be the worst quality control I've experienced across my recent record purchases. What a disappointment. There's so much static - enough to be heard on even louder sections of the LP. This is unfortunate, because the music is interesting and a veritable potpourri of sounds.

My D-Side is where the static really picks up and has so much blank spaces on SJWBM. Hoping the new release will be perfect. It’s my favorite Tame album.

Love this album so much so it's extremely disappointing hearing the quality of this vinyl. Elephant is the worst culprit, it keeps going in and out and getting crazy muffled. Hoping for a repress and deluxe for the 10 year anniversary cause this sounds absolutely terrible.

funny story, I don't listen to as much tame impala as I did back in 2018 however, I did manage to cut my finger on the paper sleeves once.

After owning currents and the slow rush, I was under the impression than tame impala only has good pressings. Unfortunately, my favorite tame impala album has the worst pressing. This thing sounds pretty bad

poor quality pressing, the hole on the 2nd LP is off center and both records are warped but still playable. also on side D the edge is raised way too high so when you place it on the edge it makes the needle jump off it to the middle of the first song. surprisingly my copy sounds decent, not great but not horrible. jacket is flimsy and it comes with those cheap white paper sleeves

My copy has so. much. surface. noise. And what's with Tame Impala's habit of leaving so much blank wax?
JulianE95 Feb 12, 2019
Just like the previous comments, this record sounds very distorted and has a terrible ear piercing sound on the highs. Very unfortunate, I love Tame Impala but the pressing is just terrible.

I was disappointed by this pressing...everything seems super jacked, quiet in some spots / boomy in others. Tell tale parts like end of Keep on Lying has super unbalanced sound with the solo guitar that ducks under the mix.

Wtf happened?
