There's a couple of 15 year anniversary editions up for preorder October 2024 (grey marble + posters and magnets, sky blue) both are 2LP editions but instead of having better audio they include an instrumental version of the album on the 2nd disc. -
-
It's not an amazing sounding pressing, this is an album that should obviously be a double LP, but I feel satisfied enough, I suppose. The sound feels kinda limited, some songs had notable audio distortion in it. But it was better sounding than expected. However if and whenever the opportunity for a 2LP version of this album comes, I'm trading this in immediately. -
Sounds pretty good but it doesn't reflect the every detail. You should buy a 45 rpm double LP.
-
Pressing is OK. Sounds a bit muddy and not very loud but to be expected. A 2LP release would be a lot better overall -
Edited 3 years agoLoving my copy, especially because I don't have to get up so often to flip in order to hear the entire album. You'll need to turn this one up though, they packed a lot of music onto a single record.
Definitely worth owning, especially if you have it on as background music and don't plan on giving your full attention to the album (there's some compression that's noticeable if you're paying close attention)
The 2-disc version probably sounds better, but for the price, this one is hard to beat. -
Horrible pressing! The whole B side skip every 2 seconds except for The Last Baron. Washed out mix. Awful pressing. Artwork is top notch.
Don't waste money on this.
