Vampire Weekend – Contra

Super pressing all around. Great mastering and dynamics. Clean pressing as well

Yeah the paper sleeve is a bummer, but this sounds excellent. Each instrument breathes, the vocals take up a nice amount of space and the whole mix is very dynamic. I got it cheap and I’d say it’s worth it. + a poster.

This sounds absolutely phenomenal. Amazing sounding record full of ear candy production. Giving up the gun and Diplomat’s Son in particular had my jaw dropped to the floor.
However, my copy might be the dirtiest I’ve opened straight out of the shrink. Lots of dust and static because of the paper sleeve. Once thoroughly cleaned and stored in an anti static sleeve the pressing quality is mostly solid and flat.

Superb pressing. My copy was really clean. This thing is really dynamic and quiet. Probably my best Vampire Weekend pressing.

Can we go back to the good ol' 2010s please?

Very clear. Had lots of dust on it and with a light cleaning it sounds nearly perfect

Agreed - a really superb pressing - super clear separation and quiet!!

Pressing is outstanding, every track is so dynamic and crystal clear. So much to explore on this album.

This pressing is phenomenal. Very quiet, detailed, and pretty dynamic but leaning a little towards flat with the bass. No card and the poster back side is blank

Yes, a great pressing and all-around good album, Super dynamic, not what I always expect of recent pressings. Very well done album from start to needle drop. A nice addition to the collection.
