    Great press, despite me having a 3rd copy already, and 2 were defective, 1 only was keepable and worked just fine, so 3 copies in 2 months...
    But I hope you keep up the good work, URP!

      I don't have original press to compare but to my ears this copy sounds excellent. Full, weighty, slam, clarity...everything!

        I think it sounds pretty good. Sometimes I wanted the guitars to be louder, but I cranked it up and generally had no issues. After a deep clean there was no surface noise.

          Lousy pressing. Lacks a high end luster. Flat and underwhelming.

            This is probably the worst pressing I’ve ever bought, and I’m not a very particular person either. A noticeable chunk is missing from the periphery as well, but not deep enough to reach the grooves.

              I'm actually really surprised with the quality of this pressing, and I'm usually super anal about getting original pressings. It's clearly digitally perfected, but it sounds full and thick!

                it sounds ok … there is definitely very noticeable surface noise that is a little hard to get past.

                  Definite improvement after A/B-ing with CD. Not amazing, but the best way to listen to this album.

                    Anyway to tell this apart from the 2017 version while still sealed? Do both versions have the hype sticker?

                      Decent pressing, not incredible, not horrible. Surface noise is there for sure. Still a fun listen.
