This pressing is spotless, offering excellent audio quality without any pops, clicks, or crackling noises. The mastering isn't over-compressed like the CD version. I'd definitely recommend it.
One By One stands as the inaugural 'classic' lineup of the Foo Fighters. The first album was entirely recorded by Grohl solo in just a week, with band members joining only after they were signed. The second album is infamous for having all of Goldsmith's drum tracks replaced, leading to his departure. By the third album, Dave was still heavily involved, but after Taylor and Chris came aboard, he took a step back. This shift resulted in a more intriguing, well-rounded album that exceeds the sum of its parts. The energy dips a bit on Side C but picks up again on Side D. I'd say this is a generally well-executed pressing, but the mix is a tad muddled, leaning too heavily into the mids. The vocals are a bit buried, and the bass is overly prominent. I wish the dynamics were a bit better too. Still, it's a very solid pressing for what's likely one of my top two favorite Foo Fighters albums.
To be truthful, the quality on this pressing isn't that good, it seems to miss some range and depth. Particularly towards the end of 'Tired Of You', Dave's voice breaks on the last couple of lines.
Hands down, this is the most amazing sounding version of this album. It's like the Foo Fighters are right there, playing live for you. It even beats the US original and the 2011 reissue. The UK original is the top choice. If you come across one, SNAG IT! I gotta mention, the album art on the sleeve isn't the best quality. But who cares, it's all about the tunes and this pressing is way better than the reissue.
Absolutely amazing, a top pick for me, gets even better over time ♥️
