This album is meaaaaan. Thick, sludgy, gross, all those nice words. Feels like a sledgehammer battering at you while a steamroller drives in from the distance. The included poster is double sided and quite cool. the actual pressing is p nice too, i didn't pick up on any surface noise, etc except between songs and even then it was next to none.
Can agree with other comments, this is the best sound available for this album by far. Fat, dirty, and wide sound all throughout! Recommend buying from YOUNGGODRECORDS.com

Just got this is the mail yesterday. Never thought I would be able to own this piece of art on vinyl but the universe had different plans for me :) such an inspiring, brutal, visceral listening experience. The icing on the wax cake was that Michael Gira signed all the copies. My life is now complete. Now, back to pummeling my ear holes with this beautiful, ugly album.
