Always sceptical about new reissues but these DM vinyl Reissues are sublime. They sound almost reference material.
This is a really great recording. Very clean and detailed. I only heard some of the nuances of Dave Gahan's vocals on this recording. I am sure you will be satisfied, especially given the low price (in 2021).
Nice release, very good stereo separation and balanced sound, although the bass could be a tip intenser. What I really love is the packaging. They've done a great job there. The pictures (front, back, but also on inner sleeve) are glossy, which gives a nice look and feel. Quality product!
Pure quality. Wasn't really expecting too much from this recent Sony repress, knew that the sound quality would be good as it's essentially the old Mute remaster but the sleeve reproduction is absolutely terrific. Embossed and glossy. A+
Absolutely fantastic quality. Depeche Mode are the sort of band that are made to be blasted on the best sound system and this sounds gorgeous on LP. Not to mention the record is incredible! Lovely gatefold package and high quality cover. Cannot complain, up there with Achtung Baby (2018 remaster) in terms of quality.
My version came without the 12" insert. Everything else is the same.
El prensado del disco, la impresión de la portada y calidad de los materiales y acabados es algo sublime. En mi gusto mejoran al original.
Superb pressing. Highly recommended over the very shoddy US counterpart (Music For The Masses).
Edited 3 years ago
Sounds superb to me, definitely beats the cd. For me this is Depeche Mode when they really started to turn into something special and so began a roll of 3 or 4 albums that were the best of their career, incredible album from start to finish.
one week out of two, I declare music for the masses best dm album. the other week, usually, it’s violator... This remastering by Simon Heyworth is excellent ! when you think this is produced by Dave Bascombe and remastered by Heyworth, that’s truely the brits cream of the crop !
