Amazing album, it sounds fantastic! No problems with the quality, what a fantastic record!
This album sounds fantastic and is incredibly flat and quiet, I must say I'm happily surprised. The center labels appear a tad messier than usual vinyl (there's some air bubbles, as you can see in the pics here), but apart from that, it's pretty much flawless. Highly recommend it.
This is a truly unique album. I'm an enormous fan of every track, and very few albums resonate with me as much as "Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends" does. It's Coldplay's last album before they ventured into the endless abyss of generic pop... and that's precisely what makes it so extraordinary. The album is incredibly catchy and easy to listen to, yet it's filled with layers of music that you can discover with each listen—orchestrated melodies, electronic harmonies, unusual guitar effects, and more, making it an EXTREMELY reliable album to revisit. The music is flawless from start to finish. As for the pressing, it does the music justice. It captures everything I believe the album should convey when you listen to it. Every instrument is wonderfully audible, even in parts where you might argue the music is muddled in the standard mix. I love it.
The sole issue I have is that this reissue, like others, uses the single version of "Viva La Vida" instead of the album version where the transition to "Violet Hill" is seamless. Arghhhhhhhhhh. I trusted you, Sonopress!!!!!!!!!! Apart from that, this pressing sounds AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's way better than my Optimal Pressing reissue. There's hardly any surface noise, the quality control and mastering are superior, and the dynamics are incredible. I'm truly amazed at how good it is compared to the original CD, especially since it's an EcoRecord. 🤯 Fortunately, there was no locking groove, and the album ended just before the stylus hit the center of the deadwax. The Optimal Pressing on Side B has a locking groove that loops the last 2 seconds endlessly. This pressing, along with the First Edition and Notebook Edition of MOON MUSiC, are the best EcoRecord issues I own. The black EcoRecord pressings I have of "Parachutes," "A Rush Of Blood To The Head," and "X&Y" aren't bad, but they do have more noticeable surface noise compared to these clear pressings. I wonder if the pigment in the vinyl affects the noise floor at all. 🤔 Overall, I've been pleased with the EcoRecord issues of Coldplay's albums I've gotten recently. I'm thinking about replacing my entire collection of Coldplay LPs with these clear EcoRecords. I can't wait to hear how "Music Of The Spheres" sounds on clear EcoRecord. I was really let down by how noisy the Recycled Vinyl was. We'll see.
At last! This is how the record was meant to sound. I purchased *several* of the first pressings when the album dropped and each one was a scratchy, muddled disaster. This fresh re-release is silent as a mouse from the get-go (fold). Over the moon that this stunning album finally received the quality pressing it was always meant to have. Strongly, strongly endorse!
