Pretty noisy pressing, but the music shines through and the color is really nice to look at

Edited 7 months agomine sounds like it was mixed especially for vinyl? dynamic range, perfect sound mix... i wonder if this has anything to do with certain pigments used in certain copies? keep in mind, there are more than one releases under the same variant name. keep tabs on that. regardless, super groovy! had me dancing in my chair and that's coming from someone who has never heard any microtuning apart from this! definitely recommend :) -
Hardcore fans gonna hate me. Sq wise very flat, nothing special here. Liked gizz till I saw them live, overrated and unprofessional, that sums up this album as well. Repetitive, and the harmonica at this point makes me want to rip my ear drums out of my skull. They were inspired by some eastern sounds, whoopdie. Just read the rant they printed on the back of the jacket, the of gizz are their biggest fans. Their early stuff is OK, now they are too high on their own farts for me -
Edited 7 months agoBeautiful cover, nice good looking vinyl, sounds without any distortion or static noise, but the sound quality is what i've expected from digitally sourced vinyl from 2017: nothing special, just a declipped digital File transfer into vinyl, but looks great and it's perfeclty listenable.

Edited 7 months agoSo I must've been lucky too cuz mine sounds absolutely amazing. The inner sleeve scratches like hell so I'll probably try to replace it but it sounds great and looks sick

Edited 7 months agoI see that a lot of people are disappointed with this pressing but I must’ve been lucky because there barely any surface noise. My copy of this pressing sounds fantastic. I purchased it directly from Gizzverse USA so I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it. -

Edited 7 months agoI have recently bought 3 copies of this and they all have static on Side B throughout almost every song. Very frustrating. -
