Napalm Death – From Enslavement To Obliteration

Mine came with an ENORMOUS severe edge warp, totally unplayable.

Apart from that, pretty thin outer sleeve.

Looks like GZ strikes again.

No popping or skipping on my copy either, must be a newer batch. Sounds truly excellent to my ears. The material of the cover is not really quality stuff though.

Addendum: it is actually quite nice having the extra tracks right there when the initial album ends. It just…yeah, it fits. Perfectly!

Outer Sleeve quality: it is thick, but just as the Carcass - Symphonies of Sickness reissues, the cardboard is rather wobbly. It has a somewhat „wet“ feel to it.

Outer Sleeve and OIS are perfectly fine with my copy. Actually they‘re rather thick.

No pops, cracks whatsoever in Evolve as one. Though minor (!) pops elsewhere. Not to mention i just carbon-brush cleaned it.

Other than that: some people wrote these FETO FDRs are the best sounding version. Well, i didn‘t compared yet to my first press, but yeah, this is one hell of a whirlwind sounding reissue.
Highly recommended!

I just wish they‘d put an extra 7“ for the, much appreciated, bonus tracks.

Is it just me or is the quality of the outer sleeve extremely poor? Mine is super thin and it just bends backwards while holding it in your hands with no vinyl in it. It’s like random bootleg quality...

I’ve bought this 2017 FDRUS vinyl 3 times now. The first one I bought brand new and took home and cleaned it then put it on and it skipped about 1 min into “Evolved As One. So I returned it and ate $20 on the cost (because they wouldn’t give full refunds on opened media and instead treat it as a used item sale and give $7 cash to buy it back and re-sell it as a used item) and then bought another brand new copy from the same store hoping it was just a defective record and since this is one of my favorite albums ever I didn’t mind paying extra if I felt I was going to own a vinyl version in perfect condition. So I go home and unwrap the second new copy and cleaned it (as I do with every new vinyl before playing it) and put it on my turntable and pressed play holding my breath hoping not to hear that giant skip about 1 min into the first track and my favorite song of the album at my favorite part of the song where Lee first let’s loose that awesome shout. “You’re Weak Miiiiiinnn...skip...Weak Minds!” Yep, skipped again at the very same spot. How could this huge error occur at the same exact spot on two separate records and I’ve never heard anyone mention this before? Well, even though I strongly believe that after the countless Thrash, Death, Doom, and Black Metal albums I’ve heard that the FDR version of “From Enslavement To Obliteration” is the BEST sounding album I’ve ever heard (not factoring in the recent skipping dilemma on this particular version) and I just didn’t want to own it with such a huge defect in it so I once again sold it back to the store and got my $7 and ate another $20, that’s $40 now spent with nothing to show for it. Then I recently decided I still really want this album on vinyl so I decided to buy another copy brand new from a different store and took it home, cleaned it, and put it on the turntable. Once again, same skip on the same spot. I’ve decided to bite the bullet and keep the record even though I absolutely hate that skip I hear every time I play the album. Just wanted you all to know that you might be getting a defective copy if you buy this because it happened on 3 different brand new copies so I’m convinced it’s a pressing error that went unnoticed.
