Sehr gute Pressung und Dynamik

Dynamic, abyssal bass, silent press, good album, great live !

I'm surprised!The recording is perfect!Vinyl without noise!Great job from Sting!

My copy is quiet, no complaints. Cool liner notes insert. This was at time of purchase going for insanely cheap prices and looks to be the same currently. Music itself, it’s not everything under the sun or blue turtles but it’s the timeless Sting and certainly a solid effort. Highly recommended.

First impression is of full and deep sound. But then it becomes a bit muddy and compressed, especially in louder parts. It’s definitely not bad. But not quite audiophile quality either. Cleaned with RCM prior to spinning.

I was skeptical when i saw MPO Pressing, but nothing to worry about in that case, it's just a faultless pressing, a very good one.

Paper inner sleeves, outer sleeves looks cheap.
States is 180g, not the case in my situation.
CD quality at best, muffled. Discs are slightly warped. Flat sound with too much bass (un-justified) and highs are barely present. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Picked up a copy at Barnes and Noble recently with the Barnes and Noble exclusive hype sticker. Package and disc are beautiful. Sound quality of my pressing is very good, dynamics and warmth are what I would hope for from a Sting record.

There is minimal surface noise between tracks but it is not present during the tracks. I experienced 1 skip on side 2 but that’s probably some debris that will come out with a good clean. Regarding the music, I think this is an interesting record and Sting mixes it up enough instrumentally to keep it interesting. His voice sounds a fair bit different on this record, he has definitely adapted his singing style. Recommended release overall.

is this press limited to 500 copies? if yes make sure to get one before the price goes hyper
i own a copy and sounds pretty good , i like less how the cd sounds like

I have both this and the single disc version. The sound quality on this is as good as the single disc version. My beef unfortunately is with MPO as usual, Sides 1, 3, 4 perfectly on center. Side 2 fairly off center. What is so hard about this? I was able to file the hole slightly to get it to play properly, but I shouldn't have to fix vinyl out of the box.

Listen on an ATLP120XUSB with an AT VM95ML cartridge.
