  • Poor Sound Quality Disappointment

    Sound quality on this version is really poor. What a letdown. I'd never buy it once more.

    The sound quality on this version is really poor. What a letdown. I wouldn't buy it once more.

  • Fair Pressing, Needs Volume

    4 out of 5 stars
    cekinukraren25 September 2025United States🇺🇸

    The first two reviews seem way too critical. This pressing sounds pretty good to me. Maybe they got defective copies or something? The mastering here is clearly limited in terms of compression... so yeah, you'll need to crank up the volume a bit... but once you do, it's dynamic and well-balanced. I think it sounds great - but I don't have any other versions to compare it with.
