    Terrible copy. I have heard bad copies before, but this sounds nothing like vinyl. If the earlier pressings are any different, pay and get one, because the album is fantastic.

      Absolutely fantastic album, full of some of my favourite songs ever. However, audio quality is poor unfortunately which is less than ideal. Not bad enough to make it unplayable considering how amazing the record actually is its just a shame.

        Sounds ok in parts, varies from disc to disc. Hysteria is muffled and awful.

          one of the worst sounding records in my collection. So disappointing given how amazing this album is. We need a quality vinyl remaster from a completely different pressing plant.

            How can you tell which year it is? (I was sold Europe 2003, but suspect it is the 2015 reissue).
            Sound quality on my entry level setup is pretty sweet nonetheless. (project-debut carbon evo, NAD C316BEE, BW 607 Anniversary)

              Most tracks play fine, a couple not so great and ruled by secrecy unlistenable!!!!!

                My copy appears to be this version. But on the back in the lower right hand corner, a sticker that says: Made in Czech Republic. Fantastic pressing.

                  Mine is 99% exactly the same, just for the new warner records logo. Therefore, there is a 2019-20 reissue

                    Nothing here for audiophiles, sounds like it was cut from the CD master, same as most other Muse reissues.
                    Hopefully better reissues are on the horizon, the forthcoming "Origin Of Muse" boxset could be a sign of good things to come.

                      Massive upgrade over the CD, If you have a decent set up the improvements are obvious. The record was absolutely filthy though and I had to give them a thorough clean, very few pops and crackles though so it doesn't seem to have had a negative effect.
                      Gatefold sleeve and lovely inner sleeves are a nice bonus
