Edited 11 days agoAs others have said, it is a bit quiet, but nothing turning it up a couple notches won't fix. Every sound comes out excellent, as it should. It's top shelf quality.
I disagree with the idea that this pressing misses the "oomph" of the original, or that it sounds bad at all, in fact I compared this pressing to the OG UK cut at Sterling (even volume matching it) and yep, this sounds IMO better overall, bass is more round and audible, guitars are crunchy, soundstage is more prominent and detailed, everything sounds extremely dynamic. No surprise there since this was cut from analogue tapes at Abbey Road. Remember to turn this record up since it was cut very quiet to fit the runtime (look at that B side). Purists might enjoy the rolled off dynamics in the OG for that old school feel, but this is a properly done remaster.
Missing the umph of the original pressings, but has very good separation and soundstage. Just isn’t very exciting, just overly judicious in the balance, maybe the bass end was the scapegoat, that seems to be have taken a big hit. I’m kind of glad I own it, but without going to 11, it’s a bit to(o) tame (a land).
Edited 6 months agoThis is the only copy I have on vinyl. I cannot compare it to anything else at present. That said, it sounds good to my ears. The mix sounds nice and balanced. No instruments are drowning out any others. Guitars are brought up just right for solos. Bass is nice and tight. Everything is crisp and clear. I'm happy with it.
Edited 8 months agoAgree with most others on here. This reissue isn’t terrible, but it’s not great either -somewhere in the middle. Still happy to add this to my collection. You just have to play it a little loud to compensate the mid/high muffling you’ll notice. Maybe I need to pick up a remastered version and hope they are as good as NothB and I’m which are awesome remasters.
Sonically this identical to r28314745.- man, i feel like a jerkoff. i bought this for $33 from shangri-la in memphis. ernie b @ millionsofrecords has it for $16.50
- Edited 10 months agoMy system is set up properly ,I have an OG pressing to compare it to .
Overall lackluster ,as if the mix was tamed down .
It sounds good cranked up but I hate to say it but the OG crushes this latest pressing ..
It has the balls and punch that made this such a great listen .
On this version ,.the bass sounds pulled back
Even the vocals are buried in the mix .
This latest mix will suffice for many people and thats cool .
But if your able later on ,,seek out an early pressing - Sounds fine …. Until you hear a mint condition OG - the OG absolutely destroys this
- Winner 🏆 🥇 knocked out of the metal studio akiller album flat quite and dynamics are on point 👉 👈
Got a very bad pressing with a lot of defects. Can't replace... Buy from a place that you can replace..
