  • Impressed Picture Disc Quality

    4 out of 5 stars
    roketginnuxDecember 10, 2025United States🇺🇸

    I was a bit hesitant to purchase this picture disc version, but I'm genuinely impressed with the audio quality! It sounds pretty crisp, with just a tiny bit of crackling here and there. As far as I know, these are the only copies available right now, so I'd definitely suggest grabbing one.

  • Matrix Alteration: New Version?

    5 out of 5 stars
    yowyegDecember 7, 2025United States🇺🇸

    I picked up the latest release from this year and noticed the Matrix / Runout on side B is altered ("RE" is added at the end). Perhaps they've addressed the issues? Could this be considered a new version on Discogs?

  • One-Speaker Sound Issue

    3 out of 5 stars
    YWC944November 27, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Gorgeous album and cover art. However, my copy only plays through one speaker for some odd reason. I tried a bunch of my other vinyls and they all work fine with both speakers. The sound coming through the one speaker is great, though. As I mentioned, the whole package looks fantastic, it's just a shame that such an incredible album is only coming through one of my speakers.

  • High Noise, Low Quality

    1 out of 5 stars
    borey80November 8, 2025United States🇺🇸

    The record itself looks great, but the noise level is way too high. If you're after good sound quality, I'd steer clear of this particular pressing.

  • New Copy, Bad Quality

    1 out of 5 stars
    MjuudmFaierOctober 25, 2025United States🇺🇸

    The album is absolutely fantastic! However, my copy is awful with tons of crackling sounds... I got it brand new in the packaging
