Talking Heads – Fear Of Music

Fantastic pressing of a fantastic album. Snare drums feel like a punch to the brain.

Can't say this blows my mind. Great songs obviously but the sound on this pressing is a bit samey. Highs not particularly high bass a bit wanting. Tried it on both my setups through various equipment changes and it always leaves me cold. Only my opinion of course, other folk might love this. It is very quiet, I'll give it that but otherwise meh! Just put The Head On The Door, The Cure original Irish pressing on after it. Difference is night and day. Effervescent versus dull. I'll be looking for different copy of Fear of Music.

Side 1 is sent down from heaven, Don't think I can fit it on the paper"

This pressing sounds absolutely amazing, very clear and dynamic sound

I ripped the DVD audio to 24/96 stereo FLAC and play it through the USB port on my new Marantz player. I've heard this album hundreds of times over the last 35 or 40 years (on both vinyl and CD) but I am BLOWN AWAY by the hi-def audio. I'm hearing things there was never a hint of before. Okay, the following is just my opinion, but... anyone who says vinyl sounds better than this needs a good slap upside the head.

Mostly great sound. Side 1 gets a bit distorted towards the end, although it's nothing too noticable. You really have to be laser focused on it to notice. Great price and great album!

Wich is the year of this one edition? Looking at bar code number it seems to be over second half of 90's..may it be?

Sounds fantastic, mastered by Bellman. Flat, quiet. Embossed sleeve is a nice touch.

The bass is so incredibly boosted it’s intolerable unless you play with the EQ and at times the high end is so harsh especially on certain guitar parts.

I literally found a city while listening to this album.
