    just got this pressing at a store in NYC. it sounds amazing - no crackles, every instrument hefty and the soundstage is massive and spacious.

      There are a couple of songs I really like on this album (Absolute and Perfect Way), the rest are - ok. Breathy vocals get on my nerves after a while.
