I don't where (on some other pressing's page? On SH Forums?) I've seen a comment saying this press was crappy but it pushed me to retrieve mine and to compare it the other versions i have (OG CD, hi-res rip of an OG 12'', the recent 12'' DE & streaming).
Knowing Brazilian pressings can be not the best (to put it midly), i was surprised it sounded that good. Weirdly enough, it was pretty close to an OG.
Even better, from what i've gathered, the BR one has tiny bit more air / feels a bit more dynamic. And it's certainly not lo-fi ('mp3 sounding' as i recall the other guy said).
The DE seems to have a bit more details in the highs & on some random parts, but it doesn't mean it's much better.
I still prefer the BR over the new one since it seems more balanced (i hate when i can hear so much the hi-hats & co). Also, the DE seems a bit more compressed.
The only bad things : the vinyl is flimsy & kinda noisy (clearly apparent on 'Help me...') even though my copy is pretty clean. I guess it all comes down to the formula the plant was using at the time.
All in all, a pretty surprising & convenient release (the 7'' might be fun but it's not the best for multiple reasons)!
Fun fact: even though the A sides on all the versions i've playtested were almost the same, once i've flipped to side B, i had to push the volume 2dB higher on the Brazilian one, which means the OG (and subsenquent releases) didn't have the same levels on each side. -
Mine too! I'm very happy with this specific release of the (IMO) best work by NIN ever recorded! -
Great sound on this one, and I dig that it does not have the last two tracks on a 7". My favorite NIN anything. -
