  • Desastre auditivo

    3 out of 5 stars
    stz.lleyukaJanuary 6, 2026United States🇺🇸

    Acabo de adquirir y escuchar esta versión y, sinceramente, es un auténtico desastre, suena casi sobrecargado, ensordece, sin equilibrio, ni distinción de los instrumentos, una mezcla desastrosa. El lado A y B son un completo caos, el lado C es el que mejor suena. La verdad es que irá a terminar en mi biblioteca y nunca saldrá de ahí, una verdadera estafa y la verdad que una verdadera lástima porque es un disco increíble. Inaudible

  • Initial Track Issues

    4 out of 5 stars
    yozmjivfj679January 6, 2026United States🇺🇸

    Quite a few pops and ticks, particularly when Holy Diver starts.

  • Harsh Mastering, Boost Bass

    4 out of 5 stars
    RRD07December 31, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This pressing is clean (no problems here) and I honestly like it way more than the remixed version that dropped the year after, but the mastering here is kinda harsh and tiring. The punch is alright, but the high end can be downright painful sometimes, though I guess that's better than having Dio sound all muddy. In an ideal world, they would've pressed the 2022 digital remaster. With some EQ adjustments or tweaking, it gets much better - I'd rather boost the bass or cut the high end than try to boost a muddy high end or smooth out muddy mids. For example, I cranked my bass tone control up by 2 notches and now it rivals my favorite digital versions.

  • Japanese Clarity Over US Punch

    5 out of 5 stars
    qdyedbDecember 23, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This pressing offers a well-balanced sound. The highs are nicely managed, and it's on translucent vinyl. The US 1983 version has stronger lows and punch, but this Japanese mastering focuses more on clarity. I'd recommend having both.

  • Punchier Bass, Similar Quality

    3 out of 5 stars
    gpebqilzaDecember 3, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Hardly a step up from the previous "atomic" Mercury. Both are amazing discs, but this one packs a punchier bass.
