    I've expected worse. But the sound is indeed very flat. Unfortunately there's no excellent pressing of this album in vinyl yet. Which is a shame... Since it's the best Muse album by far!

      This pressing, and the new remix, are absolutely horrid. Hopefully at some point we'll get a good version of this on vinyl, but this ain't it.

        So the copy I have the catalogue number and label match this US version. The runout matrix is identical to the EU version Matrix / Runout (Side A, Stamped): 81720E1/B PIRATES PRESS - MUSEDLP3 A
        Matrix / Runout (Side B, Stamped): 81720E2/B PIRATES PRESS - MUSEDLP3 B
        Matrix / Runout (Side C, Stamped): 81720E3/B PIRATES PRESS - MUSEDLP3 C
        Matrix / Runout (Side D, Stamped): 81720E4/B PIRATES PRESS - MUSEDLP3 D

        Any ideas on what version I own? Thanks!!!

          Kinda sounds like holding a pillow in front of your speakers while some kickass Muse tracks are playing. MOV needs to hop on this record and give it the treatment it deserves. I want Plug In Baby to shred so hard it hurts.
