No issues with my particular copy. I think it sounds pretty good. The keys sound a bit more present in the mix, had the CD for years. Don't them being as vibrant. It's a good mix and a great sounding album. -
I personally really like this pressing. The bass is a little rolled off, but for the style/genre it doesn't really hurt. Excellent mastering of the instruments, tons of detail and separation. This album is a real treat to listen to imo. I feel like the mastering in the vocals for side A kinda put them behind the band but side B sounds fantastic. -
Wow. Such a bad pressing. Crackling throughout the whole record even after a thoroughly us-cleaning. Compared to Spotifiy it sounds dull. Such a shame, because I love the music.
The record I got in exchange was a bit better. Side A was okay with some crackling. Side B had a lot of crackling. Again dull. I will send it back again and will wait for better pressings in the future.
The Matrix / Runout on Side B is slightly different. 1 instead of 4 at the End.

Classic album from the past 20 years. My copy is flat and sound is clear. It lacks some sonic dynamics, but still sounds great. -
Edited 9 months agoAfter deep cleaning, this pressing has a decent amount of surface noise. Also find it to be pretty "boxy" sounding compared to the CD. Not a great pressing at all. -
Edited 6 years agoObviously a classic album in the late 00s indie rock scene, but sadly this pressing is not great. Besides the smattering of non-fill, the mastering at NRP is quite poor. The entire album seems unnaturally thin, and the bass is rolled off. This leaves percussive elements sounding tame in comparison to the relatively punchy CD master, and vocals sounding unnatural. Additionally despite the very short length of this album, the album is cut very tightly, which causes IGD with most elliptical carts. Even with a microcline stylus, the sound is nothing special.
