Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.
This pressing is okay, but it's not the most lively one out there. Since there wasn't a vinyl release when the album came out in 2006, it seems like this was mastered from a digital source sometime later. I'll give it a passing grade just for the sake of having it on vinyl. I'd bet the 10th Anniversary 2xLP is a better choice? The vinyl is flat and quiet, but the packaging is excellent.
Among the newer additions to my vinyl collection, which is mostly filled with vintage records, "Sam's Town" stands out as an almost flawless album, start to finish. I'd even go as far to say I enjoy it more than "Hot Fuss," which is also a brilliant piece of work. The tracklisting is tailor-made for vinyl, making it a perfect fit for my collection. As for the sound quality, it does lean a bit towards the treble side, but I'm not sure if that's an issue with this particular pressing or the album in general, as I don't own it in any other format. That being said, the audio quality is still quite good. All in all, it's an absolutely amazing album!
Sure, there's some pops and crackles before cleaning, but it's not as awful as some folks here are saying. Unlistenable? Come on! Maybe you all need better setups. The bass is punchy, the vocals sit just right, and the lead guitar always shines through. The separation is there for me, especially in the synth parts. If you're a Killers fan, it's definitely worth grabbing.
A tad letdown, the record has a clean sound but it's a bit short on the dynamics.
From what I've heard, this sounds pretty good. It's not a vinyl remaster, so keeping that in mind, I'm happy with this album. There's hardly any surface noise, not much in the way of pops or clicks. The gatefold is nice, and the insert is cool too. I didn't want to risk it with the picture disc, as I've heard mixed reviews, but I think I made a good choice here.
