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.
Absolutely fantastic score. Given that it's on a picture disc, I was pleasantly surprised by the audio quality, which is far better than some other picture discs I've heard. Perhaps I just got a good copy, but there are only a few spots with noticeable pops and the overall surface noise is quite low. This is impressive considering it's a dynamic score with softer sections. If you're into similar stuff, I'd definitely check out Hildur Guðnadóttir's work on Chernobyl (and her Joker soundtrack is awesome too), the Mandy soundtrack by Jóhann Jóhannsson, and Tom Holkenborg's Furiosa score.
This is a stunning album that sounds fantastic if you've got a decent sound system. Just make sure to clean the discs before playing them, mine sound amazing, with hardly any pops or cracks. When there are some, it actually adds a creepy vibe to the music. I bought three copies and listened to all of them, and they all sounded great. I think some people are just naturally negative and complain about everything, even when there's nothing to complain about. Life's too short, just enjoy the music...literally.
Just like the recent anime series, Uzumaki appears to be jinxed in every version except the original manga. One of the standout aspects of the adaptation was Colin Stetson's haunting and tension-inducing soundtrack. It's absolutely brilliant and was sadly underused in the show. This release isn't spared from the curse either. The spiral graphic on the picture disk is stunning and unsettling. The cover art is a fantastic original piece by Junji Ito himself. However, my goodness, the amount of surface noise, pops, and inconsistent sound mixing really detracts from this release. Well, at least there's no more room for disappointment from the adaptation now!
