    I own both this version and the 2016 remaster and I’m having a hard time deciding which I like more. They both sound absolutely wonderful and you really can’t go wrong with either but there are some noticeable differences. The original press is mastered a little quieter, you’ve gotta crank it up a little but it sounds very natural and how I’ve come to know the album.
    The 2016 remaster is undoubtedly the better copy sonically, there’s more space between the instruments and it absolutely explodes out of the speakers, up there with some of the best sounding records in my collection. You can close your eyes and visualize yourself in the room with the band, yet the sound feels a little forced to me. It’s a little overly bright and loud, and I get some distortion at high frequencies on my copy. That said, there are 2 different listening experiences for however you want to enjoy this masterpiece.
    If you want a laid back natural listen, check out this 2005 release. If you want to find out just how incredible the mixing on this album can sound, go for the 2016 release. I think I’m going to keep both, because personally I doubt I’m ever going to get tired of these 10 songs. What a masterpiece.

      There’s definitely more pressings in between ‘05 and ‘16. Mine has a catalog for 2014 and came with the CD. Also, one track on my copy has a skip or a jump, depending on the VTF.

          I had this thumbtacked through the spindle on my wall for years before i even owned a record palyer--my love of music came before my respect to records themselves lmao.

            When did this become such an expensive record??? It's a pretty plain reissue!

              Great sound on this pressing, considering a lot of stuff pressed during this period is of questionable quality. The songwriting and lyrics are just fantastic. Oberst strikes me as a modern day Dylan. The music is really timeless.
