    I’d give my copy an 8/10. It sounds pretty darn good aside from some background noise here and there. It also has some light handling wear but that’s cause I bought my copy used in very good condition. For 18 bucks though I can’t complain!

      It may not be their best album (even though I REALLY enjoy it), but holy crap, does this record sound amazing. I've played loud and soft and there's no background noise anywhere. All frequencies are perfectly enjoyable.

        I think this is a perfect pressing. Very nice sound!

            This is the second Muse album I genuinely love from start to finish. The other one is The Resistance. I think people who are negative about this album are extremely subjective and while frankly they have all the right to be, I however like looking at albums in isolation rather than comparing them to others a band released in the past. I find myself enjoying music much more like that. This album I think will fit well into a lot of people's collection, both new and old fans of Muse.

              Hah some synthwave band called Simulation Theory have released an album called Muse. No hang,,, This IS Muse? Are they cashing in or trolling?

                Very nice songs for people that are not into Muse as the big fans are (Like me). Good sound of the vinyl and amazing album cover.

                  Not a fantastic pressing but its perfectly fine. As for the album itself, I really liked this. There are some synthwave washed new Muse classics, like the opener Algorithm, Blockades, and the Void. But this is without a doubt their 'safest' release. But in this case, safest is not bad.

                    Muse worst effort so far...no Heavy guitars, horrible drum(?)sounds and overproduced songs that goes in one ear and out the other… I thought that "The 2nd law" was a bit pop-ish but it still had a few good songs and sounds. But this one has absolutely nothing. Please go back to the beginning again. It's great to experiment sometimes but this feels more like an album filled with personal problems...sorry.

                      Just did a DR analysis of the pressing. While it's nothing groundbreaking it's definitely an improvement from the muddy CD
