David Gilmour – Rattle That Lock

I absolutely love this album. Listening on my Marantz TT-15S1 w/ Denon 301 MKII cart, through my newly acquired Parks Audio Waxwing. My copy is flat and completely silent in low ages. Excellent sonics with detail and a stereo spread that just sucks you into the genius that is David Gilmour.

I can't possibly say enough good things about this album. Taking aside how great the music is itself, with beautiful instrumentals, ear-blistering solos, spanning several genres which speaks volumes about Gilmour's talent as an artist, the record itself is fantastic too! Set in a lovely matte sleeve, with inserts showcasing the album's creation, it's a marvellous package. The vinyl is dead silent and mixed wonderfully, far suring digital streaming naturally. Utterly fantastic from Gilmour.

The pressing quality is superb, with a dead-quiet noise floor and crystal-clear dynamics that really let the music breathe, though some sibilance on A boat lies waiting. Instruments feel perfectly placed, with impressive separation and depth. Lyrically reflective and musically adventurous, overall it's an album that brilliantly captures the essence of Gilmour's post-Floyd evolution that culminates, to date, in 2024's Luck and Strange. As a package, the gatefold is superbly produced as is the enclosed booklet.

As much as I love David Gilmour, this is a BIG "yawn". I don't see any reason to ever listen to this again. Sad. :-(

I think this album sounds amazing on our Pl-530 with an old pickering v-15 powered by a sx-850 and sg-300eq!! Super quiet no pops, full soundstage and great separation and plenty of punch, the louder the better!! Maybe it’s because of a proper setup probably not but just my guess!!!

Beautiful collectors edition, worth to buy. More more more words.

Great quality recording and pressing, nice sleeve photos etc., but no track inspired me in the slightest, and I didn't even want to listen again to try and muster enthusiasm. He's done it all, some monumentally great stuff in the past, but definitely no longer. Retire David, while you are ahead

Plays absolutely amazing. One of the best sounding records I have on a great flat press. Sturdy jacket of soft matte material and lovely photo/lyric book as well with high-quality images. In my personal opinion excellent album as well.

NOTE: Clean this item before you put the needle on play surface which you should do with all brand new records. You will be very happy what you hear.

Don't expect Pink Floyd's Gilmour. For me boring album with few ideas.
