    Nice packaging for a CD, paper, but glossy packaging, nice booklet with lyrics. The sound of the CD is not as nice as Everything Now, which was mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound. I’m not sure who mixed or mastered this one, but it’s not top shelf, although, I’m still okay with the it, just not pleasantly surprised, shucks.
