• Album of the Century

  5 out of 5 stars
  Nubzposme1 November 2025United States🇺🇸

  Absolutely incredible sounds and visuals! This might just be the album of the century, if you ask me 😏

• Sound Quality, Dust Issues

  4 out of 5 stars

  I'd rate it 4 out of 5, the sound quality is fantastic. But, my copy was quite dusty. I cleaned it repeatedly, yet some dust kept sticking to the stylus while playing. Also, why aren't there any lyrics included? I adore the handwriting on the gatefold. But I was hoping for lyrics...

• Bent Vinyl, Great Sound

  The vinyl I have is a bit bent, but luckily it doesn't mess with the sound quality. It sounds amazing to me. I wasn't aware it was a gatefold, so that was a pleasant surprise. It's a bummer there aren't any lyrics included since Raye is such a talented writer, but you can't win them all. All in all, it's a solid release.

• Disappointing Sound Quality

  3 out of 5 stars
  Dumvatoyd14 September 2025United States🇺🇸

  I'm not as satisfied with the SQ as I'd hoped. There's a noticeable cut in the high end, and some parts lack depth and have distortion. I'm curious if pressing it on two records might have avoided this.

• 21st Century Blues Thrills

  5 out of 5 stars

  It had been ages since I'd been this thrilled for a new album. I missed the initial release of the first single, but my first spin of "Black Mascara" filled me with a sense of nostalgia while still feeling fresh. That's the vibe of this entire album. The more time I spent with the singles and the more I understood Raye's story, the more eager I became for the full record. You can sense the love poured into it, both in the sound and the artwork. This pressing sounds incredible and bursting with life. I'm eager to see what RAYE does next, but I'll be living in the 21st Century Blues for now.
