Reviews

Obvious ticks and crackles despite ultrasonic cleaning. Disappointing but bought it cheap for the visual aspect so 🤷♂️
-
Very pleased with the visuals of the zoetrope and picture disc, but what’s the trick to “see” the zoetrope animation?! First time hearing the album and hadn’t heard Blur since Song #2 was released when I was in high school! Pops and crackles, even after dusting and cleaning with felt brush, but expected with picture disc. Enjoyed!
-
Expectations were middling as it’s a picture disc, and sure, between songs there is a slight hiss, but even quiet semi-acoustics songs like “thought I was a spaceman” sound great. The hiss isn’t present to these ears (of course it is there, what I’m saying is that you don’t hear it during the songs). -
Edited one month agoSurprisingly good sounding pressing, especially considering this is a 2LP being forced onto a single disc AND it's a picture disc. These Blur zoetropes sound great, a few crackles here and there but I'm also yet to give it a deep clean.
If I could make two small complaints, it's a little lame that the zoetrope takes up only one side, and it would've been awesome to see a bonus 7" (maybe also as a zoetrope?) of Y'all Doomed packaged with this release. -
-
Looks lovely and Zoetrope is cool using the strobe light app. Sound of course is awful like all picture discs. Some printed material on top of the groove is never going to sound as good as a version without. Acquired purely for novelty and to display front facing in one of my cubbies.

I mean, the actual music is awesome but you’re here for the picture record and it’s worth it!
-
Seems to be opening up as I listen to it. There's a tiny bit of surface noise, but that might just be because I didn't clean it first. Pretty cool pressing.
