Edited 10 months agoFantastic pressing. If you’ve got a setup that allows an album to shine, this will light up the room for sure. Incredible imaging -
This album has some pretty amazing dynamic range. My copy is dead silent where it counts, and her amazing voice is clear and present even in the soft parts. The instruments really pop with nice punchy bass. The mix in A3 had me thinking there was a grand piano in my living room. So clean. A fun listen! -
