    My fav AM album !!! Gritty & groovy throughout. This is the band at their pinnacle.

      Good album, but a lot of surface noise. The pressing is bad.

        Major distortion on the beginning of side A and my copy is slightly warped. Otherwise, the album plays well with little noise throughout. Arctic Monkeys really need to release an audiophile version of this masterpiece.

          Not bad! Minor surface noise here and there but it may just need another clean or two. Sounds good, no warp, poly lined sleeve is a nice touch. For 22 bucks I can’t complain!

            Mine shockingly sounds good! There was like one or two pops party anthem but that tends to be the part of a vinyl that gets more iffy. Overall I was lucky compared to some comments I see below.

              Agree with others here, just sounds a bit flat and sad. Not bad per say, but expected better dynamics perhaps. Very little surface noise on mine to be fair.

                First problem- massive amounts of surface noise. For a fresh pressed record, this is well beyond normal.

                Second problem- fingerprints on the inner label. Very poor qc.

                Third problem- Side B stamper used for both sides. In other words, I have no tracks from Side A, I have two side Bs.

                I have bought around 200 LPs in the last 2 years. This is by far the most hilariously bad example of quality control. I’m not actually mad (this is going right back to the store), I’m impressed that a pressing facility could be this bad at their job.

                  Well... Its okay.
                  I don't know, but mine record souds really flat. But I think that album is just sounds like that.
                  It's really loud and groovy, it has no pops or cracks, but there is not so much depth in the sound.
                  But I still really like this record.

                    Not sure if it warrants a separate release or just a variant, but I recently purchased this version from my local record shop (Sleeve stated Made in USA) with the above runouts, and the pressing was garbage. Tons of surface noise and pops/cracks, and some visible imperfections in the vinyl itself. Sounded no better after a wet clean. Got it replaced (on the replacement, sleeve stated Made in Canada), which is 100% perfect and sounds excellent. The runouts of the Made in Canada version are different. There are stamped numbers in addition to some etching.

                    This is such a great album, so it's worth going through returns to find a decent copy, they do exist!

                      I didn't have any luck with my copy.

                      Side A was pressed off-center, badly enough to easily notice the altered pitch, specially awful on A6 No. 1 Party Anthem. A1 started off with a lot of crackle. B1 had a repeated "tchic" for most of its duration. Side B played warped, as well.

                      I do believe there are great copies out there, though. Eventually I'll give it another try.

                      ★★☆☆☆
