Madlib – Piñata

Truely astonishing. Amazing mix. Clarity is perfect. Fucking rocks out hard

Do believe the hype: this is so so good, really amazing, way better than the ORG and the too-many previous represses I've tried, trying to find an acceptable copy. (I'm the annoying audiophile type). Bass sometimes cuts so deep, like in "Uno" !

But it must be noted that the cuts to fit one LP can feel kinda brutal at times, specially at the start of "High", for instance. I also miss some funny interludes, like at the end of "High" ("OMG you slobbing, you okay?")
I also preferred the original artwork.

But I'm down for this one if all this is the price for having a listenable copy (Unlike the horrible 2014's Piñata).

Solid ass pressing. Not sure if some other people got booty pressings or what, but I had no issues, sans the sliiiiighhhtest bit of dishing, and I’m talking minute. That’s just me being extremely nitpicky.

Records had no noise for me. At all. None between songs, none during songs. Soundstage/EQ/mix is great, honestly more dynamic than I thought it’d be given a couple people’s reviews. Warm, rich, punchy lows. Crisp, bright, clean highs. Nothing to complain about there. Really did sound great from beginning to end.

Pressing: 8.5/10

Sounds... able. Too much low end. Not enough detail to balance it out. If your system can reduce the amount of bass you're good. Discs were slightly warped; nothing concerning. But the splatter on half gold-half clear discs is purdddy! First record I've ever bought 'cause of the look. No regrets.

Happy to report this particular pressing sounds fantastic. Very little surface noise or pops. Good dynamics and staging. I was worried after reading negative reviews of other pressings but this one does not disappoint.

I also can’t tell if my copy is this or the 2014 OG. Does the reissue still have “Terrorist” credit error printed on the rear of the sleeve?

Mine also has 370553 in the runouts (in addition to: MMS022 C KRISPCUTS@ELECTRIC)

some skits at the end of tracks have been omitted (compared to the digital version), but i think its worth it to keep the album on a single LP

cook a meal clean as she succ me like a vacuum

is the bandcamp copy the exact same as rsd? wordd

Really great pressing, balanced really well! No noticeable blips or skips. Perfect and quiet, very surprised with this release!
