    Very quiet pressing. Beautifully done per par for them. Enjoyed it.

      Finally found myself a copy and I think it sounds great. Highs and lows are perfect. Bass is killer. Vocals are clear and warm. People seem to complain about every album having surface noise. I don’t get it, unless it’s a manufacturing issue, that seems fairly par for the course with the format of vinyl. Maybe clean it or stick to cds. This format is primitive and superior at the same time. Vinyl lends itself to attracting dust and static, even straight out of the sleeve. But that’s just my opinion, and with that said I’d say this pressing sounds fantastic regardless. Totally worth the purchase. Anyways, get off my lawn!

        Not their best pressing. Lots of clicks and pops throughout. Their other releases I own are flawless.

            Excellent songs, but I don't feel the mix and balance on this pressing. In my opinion the over-the-top amount of bass ruins the whole experience. I would have preferred a way more moderate handling of the low end. Unlike almost all other IDIB pressings this one has a huge amount of constant surface noise, almost like that noise on picture discs. It isn't heavily noticable since the bass and discoid (and thus "loud") approach masks it alot.

              Excellent pressing. Totally flat. Sounds better than the digi files I listen to through a nice DAC. Both records are heavy, probably closer to 200 grams. Very pleased. BG in the deadwax.

                Nice piece of vinyl. Mostly quiet. Very warm. To my ear, MUCH warmer than the digital release, which I was surprised by since the digital release had a nice sound to it, already.
