Nine Inch Nails – Bad Witch

Awesome record with Ian Astbury on first track. Pressing quality is on top as usual.

It's an okay pressing. It's possible I need to adjust a bit for the thicker record, but I found it skipped a little, even when my other 180s don't. Sound-wise, I'd say it's average. I didn't feel blown away or notice anything I didn't in the digital release. It's pretty quiet and did need to be turned up.

This is a decent pressing, but it seems like it has the same problems as the 2018 presses where it sounds really quiet i had to turn my volume up higher then normal to hear it better.

Great NIN material. Ambitious and far from status quo. Bowie influence is all over this record, especially “God Break Down the Door”. Easy to hear Bowie performing this track.

Bit too quiet I feel, nontheless a solid pressing. Word

Is anyone going to add the deluxe edition someday? It would be nice to see it.

Great album, the packaging for this CD is a little lacklustre though

How weird. Just got this exact version from store.nin.com. Thought it's going to be common black vinyl version but white one arrived instead.

Overall good pressing. Sound is rich and full. Very vibrant. Biggest issue I have with it though (this also goes for other NIN records too) is that it's super quiet and you have to turn it up pretty loud. Overall not too big of a deal, but when it comes to the track "I'm not From This World", it's a pretty quiet track, so surface noise can be heard. The surface noise isn't too loud, but is present. Will turn some people away from this, but it doesn't bug me too much. Overall, pretty good pressing, for a really good album.

In my opinion this is the best thing NIN have ever released to date. It gets away from that clean but trying-to-be dirty sheen I found off putting on the 2000s releases, and the now outdated sounding electronics from the earlier albums. And arrives at an eclectic and bursting raw sound which is extremely listenable, and closer to my tastes overall. And you have to love the brasses on Play The Goddamned Part, a nice homage to I Think I Lost My Headache by Queens Of The Stone Age. I find it astonishing that a man in his mid 50s can lay out music as raw as this, more so than the avalanche of soft electronic music that is pumped out over the internet nowadays. Love it.
