    Maybe my copy is special or something but, sounds beautiful to me. Nice imaging noise floor is low….. I say it’s a nice pressing.

      Such a fantastic album that offers so much range and absolute bangers back to back

        More open sounding, more dynamic, and better tonally balanced than the digital version.

        It's better than the digital, but that just means it's better than bad. The sound quality isn't great, but that seems to be a stylistic choice. This is still the best sounding format.

          Love this album!!! But I agree it is very flat. I have to play around with the EQ to fix the sound and make it sound stronger an more solid. It's pretty clear and there are no pops or crackles .

            Sad to agree with the other reviews here but it’s true. The pressing has a layer of compression over it that just makes everything sound *flat*. A shame! Really doesn’t do this interesting and creatively layered album any justice. 2/5 sound.

              I love this album but am very disappointed by the vinyl issue. It's physically clean and there are no pops and misc sounds, but the mastering is bad. The drums and bass are flaccid. The soundstage is dull. All in all it sounds very flat. I played this twice, back-and-forth comparing it to a ed spotify version and spotify had much deeper bass, must warmer mid-rages, etc etc. Very disappointing vinyl release especially because I love this band and starting from this album they began mastering their very beautifully.

                Are some US copies 180g and some less? I have one that seems to be 180g with the:

                Matrix / Runout (A side etched, except STERLING stamped): 88883-76277-1SA RJ STERLING ⓶
                Matrix / Runout (B side etched, except STERLING stamped): 88883-76277-1SB RJ STERLING ⓶

                Is this the correct listing or should a US 180g listing be created?

                    No "fuzz" on mine. Don't know what the other commenters are on about.

                      Sounds fine for me. I haven't noticed any "fuzz". Clear for me
