  • Broad Soundstage, Must Grab

    5 out of 5 stars
    yamepon015 January 2026United States🇺🇸

    Soundstage is broad. Fantastic record...snag it before it's gone. Hope friday music puts out more like this.

  • Modern Pressing Disappointment

    5 out of 5 stars
    fjunwvui579 January 2026United States🇺🇸

    Typical SQ for a "modern" pressing, meaning, quite terrible!😳Modern tech and mastering could really take notes from the genuine experts from back in the day.

  • Vinyl Sound Quality Triumph

    5 out of 5 stars
    sohpengoboc19 December 2025United States🇺🇸

    Tohle vydání je opravdu super. K písni "Silent lucidity" bych řekl takhle: 1) Ano, praskot je opravdu tichý v klidných částech, takže to je příjemné poslouchat. 2) V porovnání s digitální verzí mi tady basy přijdou více dopředu. Na tomto albu sice slyšíte dobře každý nástroj, ale nikdy jsem si nevšiml tak detailních basů u písně Silent Lucidity, jako na tomto vydání. No... Když se podívám celkově na kvalitu tohoto vydání u všech ostatních písní... Ano, tohle se opravdu povedlo. Dávám 5* kvůli kvalitnímu zpracování zvuku, zejména v detailních basových pasážích. Je to pravda, že strana B je trošku hlasitější v praskotu než ostatní strany desek, které jsou celkem tiché, ale to nevadí. Je to vinyl.

  • Soundstage Impressive, Bass Lacking

    4 out of 5 stars
    fcmy13 December 2025United States🇺🇸

    Lacks a bit in the bass department but all in all quite nice. Extremely clear and impressive soundstage.

  • Favorite Album, Perfect Sound

    5 out of 5 stars
    UpygOjukq6018 November 2025United States🇺🇸

    This album is one of my absolute favorites, I'm in love with it. The quality of this pressing is incredible, no hissing, mastered beautifully, just pure awesomeness.
