    This is not audiophile, but it does not need to be. If you dig this type of music, it is worth to get it. Just clean it well before you play it.

      I seem to that when I originally bought it, it was rather full of surface noise. Washed it, and after a few plays it has become stunning: immaculate, no clicks or pops, no swishing. Weird how some pressings improve with playing and getting rid of the impurities they had when new!

          the first of the worst for me. With this album his output became extremely boring for me, and I'm a fan from day 1.

            Absolutely astonishing Album. I really liked that one from the start of. This is one of his best Albums so far. Nick Cave is a genuis anyway. Five Stars!

              This is an outstanding record. The low end creates a warm speaker rumbling bliss. And the elegant background vocals are balanced perfectly, complimenting Cave's voice ever so beautifully. The details that can be heard on this vinyl version are immaculate. The strings on the third track radiant brilliant warmth. And the drums on my personal favorite track 'Jubilee Street' sound lifelike and have outstanding presence, not to mention that great guitar tone is right upfront and in your face but doesn't overwhelm, everything is balanced exceptionally. Very pleased with the stellar sonics on this one. The music has depth to it, very spacious, nothing ever sounds compressed or muddy. The pressing quality, at least on my copy, couldn't be better, dead quiet background, haven't detected even a lick of surface noise and absolutely no hideous clicks/pops, the music shines here. Not to mention the record is also pressed flat and centered correctly. Got this brand new for $15 bucks which is a hell of a deal for great music and a great pressing. A solid 10/10. Definitely reccomend.

                ???
                The mastering is great job, but this is the noisiest pressing i have heard in a while... I have VG looking records that have less clicks and pops. Pressing by Optimal Media are anyways sometimes dispointing in my experience.

                    Yep. Listening to the LP for the first time now. Sounds superb...I'm hearing so many things I didn't hear before. It's like listening to the album for the first time!

                      The Higgs Boson Blues track on here is just unbelievable. Those lyrics are just something very special.
