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.
The audio quality is quite nice. There's some warping, as others have pointed out. Funny thing is, side one isn't perfectly round, it's like the outer edge wasn't cut right. But the grooves are still in the middle and it plays just fine.
My turntable spins records with a satisfying sound, no unwanted surface noise, and the vinyls I played were impressively clean. (Hard to find these days!) One of my records was a bit snug on the spindle, but apart from that, I didn't spot any other quality control hiccups. I see where they're coming from with the packaging not being "legacy," but I do appreciate having the lyrics printed on the inner sleeves.
Given how crucial this album is to Shakira’s discography, you’d expect a better quality pressing. But it’s almost laughable, each side of my copy has its own issues. Side A is filled with crackles and hisses, Side B throws in some skips for fun. Side C’s label is lopsided, and Side D has scratches on the final track. Really disappointed with the quality, particularly the first disc, but I suppose it’s in my collection now…
I gotta mention that EVERY single one of my Shakira vinyl records (LS, OF1, FO2, SW) sound TERRIBLE, whoever handled the mastering for her vinyl albums really messed up. With this particular pressing, I've got this: Disc A sounds all muffled and squashed, Disc B, sounds alright. Packaging is cool, color is stunning, discs feel flimsy, audio quality is great, but the mastering is really bad, should've been gate-folded.
I prefer the new design over the regular one, but it would've been even better if they included the lyrics. The look is fantastic, but I'm disappointed they didn't go with the "Whenever, Wherever (Pepsi Super Bowl LIV Halftime Show Remix)" instead of "Ojos Así" (though at least they could've used the single version, but no).
