You are really lucky if you have this album in your vinyl collection. At least my girlfriend has a licensed copy from 2022 and the this version, and the difference in sound between them is minimal - which is a pleasant surprise.If we step away from the purely technical side, the album still impresses with its almost perfect balance between depressing and oppressive melodies and melancholic and calm ones. There is a certain ambiguity, even duplicity of mood in it - but that is what works for its integrity! Each side of the record has its own beginning and ending, while logically complementing each other. The album's aesthetic is quite strange and multifaceted. It can evoke a sincere smile or light joy when listening to compositions such as "Why Can't I Be You?", "The Perfect Girl" or the lively "Hey You!". At other times, the album makes you think about "being," as in "If Only Tonight We Could Sleep" or "Like Cockatoos". And sometimes it envelops you in quiet sadness, particularly in "A Thousand Hours". Or plunges you into pure melancholy with the cult classics "Just Like Heaven" and "Catch." The sound of the album flows freely from intense guitar playing to clear, precise drum parts, which are successfully intertwined with orchestral and keyboards elements. Sometimes it's the other way around. This mixture does not destroy the composition, but rather emphasizes the structure of the lyrics and music as a whole. Chaos, rhythm, slowness, or energy - all of this works to form the overall picture of the album. Just like in Disintegration / Wish, here you can find successful «b-side tracks of that era» that could easily fit into the main tracklist - for example, "Chain Of Flowers" or "Japanese Dream." However, even without this, the album remains coherent and memorable.In my opinion, this release successfully combines the band's early period with all of its previous works, preserving its recognizable atmosphere and emotional depth
This is a great pressing of a great record. Sounds very good to me.
