BadBadNotGood – Talk Memory

Geez these kids like to waste wax. Why the hell did they cut this at 45? The album is the perfect length for a single 33 disc. They should have cut the previous two albums at 45 seeing as they sprawled those over two discs as well. Ridiculous.

My copy sounds exquisite. Low noise, very nice sound stage mix of the natural instruments as well as the synths and piano. Love the packaging and while it is annoying that there's no 45 rpm label, that's kind of common on 45 speed masters I have. About half of them are labeled and half are not.

Thought I'd add my .02 since I'm currently listening...

My copy is flawless and sounds excellent. Love the thick, printed outer sleeve, though the blue tape seal is a little odd. I don't find the records to be "terribly thin" in the slightest. The only annoyance is the record sides aren't labeled, so you need to look at the runouts to know what side you're playing and there's no indication that it is a 45, so you need to before you play. Otherwise, I love this release.

Nice silent pressing, if not the most dynamic. The bass kind of trudges through the rest of the instruments, but still very enjoyable overall.

Sounds great. No surface noise on my copy & the clear vinyl looks great.

This is great!
Sounds excellent and the ultra-clear vinyl looks stunning on my turntable!

Great album, but the absence of Matthew Tavares is deeply felt.

The packaging for this album was designed by Virgil Abloh.

You would think for something that gets slapped with the label limited-edition there would be something special about this release. Unfortunately no there will be none of that here. Record itself is terribly thin, you would think they could at least release it on 180g? Nope, In fact the wax itself is thinner than most modern day releases and of all the colours to make a record it’s is on white vinyl. Looks great but unfortunately is a pain in the butt to clean. Artwork is quite basic nothing to really set it aside from the general release, but I do enjoy the gatefold. The album sounds decent though and I don’t mind the direction the boys have gone with this release.

A2 -Unfolding (Momentum 73) ends kind of abruptly on my copy. Maybe it's intended?
