Reviews
- Edited 6 months agoI agree with others that this album sounds pretty good and that it is pressed well but I find the treble a little hot overall on side 1, and verging on sibilant with symbols etc. Played with an Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge.
Sounds amazing, one of my favorite albums ever and this (sorta) box set is just amazing packaging. All the artwork is beautiful, it’s heavy, durable and a treat to flip through. Worth it alone to have the B sides which are brilliant.
Wasn’t a huge fan of the remixes to be honest. One of my favorite nostalgic albums from high school.- Edited one year ago3 x the love for this deluxe edition. The album is just beautiful and this remaster shows that so well. The 2 'bonus records' are just an extension of the beauty that is the song writing and performances of Benjamin Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello.
- Just a gorgeous release in every way. Absolutely no complaints.
What an amazing set of records. The depth and clarity on "Such Great Heights" is jaw dropping. Some minor noise at the beginning of side A but I think it's low enough to add to the overall aesthetic of "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight."
This is probably the most perfect vinyl I own so far. When i drop the needle I hear a noise but after that it's just crystal clear. Wow. SO clear.
Ordered this from Tower Records for a great price ($30.00) and it came in okay shape -- The quality of the packaging is amazing. It feels like a hardcover book -very thick cardboard and there is a nice binding. You can turn 3 heavy pages and there's beautiful artwork from their EPs -- in the middle page is a gorgeous 12x12 booklet with lyrics and really cool photographs. I have played side A and side B and the pressing is excellent. You can hear nuances that I never heard on the CD back in the day. There wasn't a single bit of surface noise and I the dynamics are super. Ben's voice is clear. The mastering is amazing.
Overall I'd give this a solid 9/10. Crazy to think in a few years this will be TWENTY years old.
Edited 5 years agoBeautiful packaging and amazing pressing. The most silent vinyls I own (x3!!!)- Both one of the best sounding and most beautifully packaged albums I own. They just did a fantastic job.
