Ashitty cash grab reissue by Sound Pollution of a brilliant album. Buy other versions if you can.

Holy shit the A side is low as all hell. Plus as already mentioned it's a shame on the artwork. I hope this and SOTLB get a proper repress soon. -
Thanks for the reviews guys I was going to secure a copy of this but now I will wait until they do a quality repress of this with original artwork, as well as storm of the light's bane which has reached retarded asking price value. -
This is a bad reissue. Very weak sounding side A and side B is more louder. it is clearly taken from a cd source. I thought the Black Horizons pic disc issue was pretty weak but this reissue is even worse. If you’re a die hard Dissection fan and would want to collect different physical issue variants, then this would be a pretty decent buy. If you’re here for the sound, stay away from this release. -
Looks like all presses have this volume differnce. B side is louder than A side. It is weird actually why this was even released that way. -
This reissue is a weird one. The original artwork has been replaced by a pretty boring sleeve with an embossed logo but I can live with that, 'cause the music is excellent. The pressing however is also weird one. Why is the playing time on the A side over 30 minutes and the B side just 15 minutes. This is a bad decision. They should've used the original picture disc order as the tracklisting. The thing is that side A because of the long playing time is infinitely lower in volume than side B. The soundquality is OK but I have to turn down my amp as soon as side B is playing, this is very annoying. This issue with the A side also results in having more surface noise because you have to turn up the volume in order to enjoy the music and this pressing on gold/black marbled vinyl looks ok, sounds decent except for the parts where the acoustic guitar is playing, you will hear hiss and noise. I am happy to finally own this on vinyl but I just don't understand the decisions that have been made with this reissue.
