Reviews

I can't speak to VMPs output as of late, but back in the day they seemed to be pretty consistent quality-wise, this being no exception. Great sounding pressing. Nice packaging. -

Edited one year agoi just got this album at a local record store (pre-owned) and i'm confused. the runout numbers are these but no GATEFOLD cover. it's just the normal single carrier. anybody know why this would be? does this mean someone switched the covers on me???!?!?
-
Great sounding. Some surface noice and pops still after multiple cleanings, especially on disc 2. Also, disc 2 has some warp, but nothing that is too bad. Packaging is great.

I just did a comparison and I'm definitely in the camp that prefers the 2015 pressing to this one (thanks to wnz99 for the recommendation, I just got lucky and found it sealed for retail price at a local record store). The VMP pressing also sounds good, but in comparison a bit muffled and less detailed. The most obvious difference is in the vocals for me, which are less present and clear in the VMP pressing. Of course artwork-wise the VMP version is way above, that's why I will keep it. -

Edited 2 years agoI think the VMP version sounds amazig, but I don't have an alternative to compare it to. Labels are wrong on the second disc though
-
Disc two was severely warped but VMP replaced it right away. Then again, disc two of the replacement came warped, but this time it wasn't so severe as to affect the sound much. Other than that, it sounds fine. Not a lot of surface noise but doesn't blow me away like some VMP issues have.
