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.
It's really tough for me to put this into words, but this might be the most disappointing record I've ever come across. I was beyond thrilled to finally get my hands on this album on vinyl, so I went ahead and ordered a copy from Amazon.de. But when it arrived, I was gutted to find that the very first track (which happens to be one of my all-time favorite record openers) was completely ruined—it skips every other second and is filled with all sorts of excessive noise. I was so upset that Amazon actually refunded me and even let me keep the record. Most of the sounds on the album are actually pretty fantastic, but for me, having to start the album with a forced "skip" is a total dealbreaker.
My vinyl record looks fantastic, and while black is indeed a color, it's just that it's seen as the standard, but the material itself isn't actually black.
This album, how does it stack up against their previous 12? It's a welcome back to their roots, a nod to their beginnings. It brings to mind Very, Please. It's a clear shift from Release and Elysium. Is it akin to Electric? Absolutely, very much so. Same producer at the helm. I'm not keen on their opening track. Happiness... it's a bit of a throwaway, not even great for a B-side. Now, the B-sides to the first single from this album? Outstanding. In Bits could've easily been part of the main tracklist. Not entirely sold on the musical influences behind Twenty Something... it's a twist on that infamous Raeggeton that's popular in the lower-class nightclubs of Colombia, Mexico, and other South and Central American countries. Again, they've drawn inspiration from these exotic rhythms, much like when they released Bilingual, with the opening tracks having a certain 'latin' feel. All in all, a solid album, minus one or two tracks that could've been filler on their subsequent singles. Now, let's see if a special edition or a luxury release comes out, sold to the elite through the Vinyl Factory. Wouldn't mind seeing a museum-quality version of this latest work.
I'm loving my new copy, it's absolutely fantastic! No issues at all. I snagged the special white limited edition, and it's crystal clear with zero pops.
My version sounds impressively good considering what others have said. It's lively, the bass is powerful, and there's hardly any distortion (which I notice on all my PSB albums, particularly on Neil's vocals). It's hands down my top pick from PSB's later work. The production is crisp, and even the more ridiculous tracks really resonate with me.
