Khruangbin – The Universe Smiles Upon You

Is this "locked" track a thing or is it an excuse for a bad pressing, you cant have a hidden track on vinyl, thats just silly

I didn’t get that “hidden” track thing since it is pretty annoying to stand up, raise the tonearm, aim ideally to the beginning of the track and etc.

Pressing kinda cool, nothing bad to say about it.

Overall, the album isn’t great, but sounds pretty good for me. Strong 4 Con Todo El Mundo of 5.

Does anyone else’s copy make a popping sound as it goes into the locked groove? I’ve had 2 copies that do it.

Received MINT sealed copy, but with a locked groove before the last track on side 2, some noise in the more silent parts. other than that, a nice plate. downloadable mp3/flac/wav included. anjoyable still, for what it's worth.

I must have been lucky; my copy is quiet and noisefree.

Constant pop cracking noise on side B. But overall the sound is good.

I couldn’t listen to this until after cleaning it with ultrasonics; it’s clean enough now to have an enjoyable listen. Much of the very loud surface noise is 95% gone. The mp3 download unfortunately sounds much better than this pressing. This press is very up the middle in a mono way, not much width compared to the digital version. There’s a good amount of punch in the drums but the guitars are what come through the best. Still a fun listen and worth the $20 I paid new for this. I will give this a wet brush scrub and another US clean and see what happens.

Just got my repress and, as others indicated, the needle sticks at the end of the next to the last track on side 2. Great album but problematic pressing.

Great album but my pressing is crap. Noisiest vinyl i have...

Hardly any noise on my copy and it's mostly flat. There is a locked groove before the last track on side 2, which makes the last track a bonus track... that I had to get up from my seat to enjoy lol
