    The record sounds really good, but my pressing was really flaky, since it had loops upon opening the vinyl on the side A (I cleaned it the moment I got it).

      I love the poster.. It's made of the same thick plastic-like material that the sleeve itself is made out of. Very durable.

        I love how you never have to worry about getting a bad pressing with a GY!BE release. They all sound great. Add Asunder, Sweet And Other Distress to that list.

          Fantastic album, love how side A stays looped in the matrix to keep the tension going. Grab this baby

            Great album. .. darker, heavier and louder album from Godspeed. Distortions on B side are delicious. Amazing pressing !
