Recommendations
Reviews
A landmark album that is well-mixed with a good sounstage. What prevents me from giving this 5 stars, however, is the regrettable amount of sibilance that perhaps the album. Still, it is a very enjoyable listen.
Better than US & UK Pressings. The bass is so tight and deep.
Excellent, dynamic, rich, clear sounding pressing. Sledgehammer sounds amazing. Recommended.
Edited 2 years agoI agree with previously review, high quality pressing! Especially on Sledgehammer you can heard a deep (and a beautiful) bass line played by master Tony Levin
Also, no sibilance issue!- Very good sound quality. Deep bass and nice highs and clear nice voices, high quality pressing.
