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.

  • Brilliant Pressing, Minimal Warping

    5 out of 5 stars
    IyxM530 December 2025United States🇺🇸

    Absolutely brilliant pressing, albeit a tad warped, but it didn't impact playback at all. Once I gave the discs a good clean, they were super quiet, no inner groove distortion on my setup (Technics SL-1200 GR2, Ortofon 2M LVB, Naim Supernait 3).

  • Unstamped but Priceless

    5 out of 5 stars
    SogciRzon15 December 2025United States🇺🇸

    They gave it a number but skipped stamping my OBI! Yet, it's still incredible to have this album wrapped in the master tape. Nope, my unique unstamped but numbered copy is not up for sale! :)

  • Must-Have Re-Release

    5 out of 5 stars
    kitfuxap9 December 2025United States🇺🇸

    Picked this up on impulse, and it's already hands down one of the top recent re-releases I've come across. The background noise is non-existent, and the sound quality is fantastic. A MUST HAVE!

  • Quality Vinyl, Great Packaging

    5 out of 5 stars
    FegesalCazsbe22 November 2025United States🇺🇸

    This pressing is fantastic, just like others have mentioned. The vinyl is super quiet, the bass hits hard, the electronic sounds are crisp, and the vocals are soft and smooth. The packaging is really nice too, with sturdy cardboard that fits the three records perfectly, each with anti-static inner sleeves. The album cover poster is pretty cool as well. Not sure what's going on with Discogs' weird listing for this, but it's definitely a 3xLP release. The first two LPs have the full album, and the third one has 2 outtakes, 2 original mixes, and 11 demos.

  • Awesome, No Middle Problems

    5 out of 5 stars
    nueycope26 September 2025United States🇺🇸

    My version sounds awesome, no middle problems. It's gorgeous in every way.
