• Poor Disc Quality

  One disc is bent out of shape, the other is ridiculously noisy (I even cleaned it on an Okki Nokki). No static-free sleeves, no insert, nothing, and the pressing quality at this price - 42€/45$ - is just not okay.

• Mixed Feelings on New Album

  I'm still wrapping my head around this album, and my initial thoughts are a mix of good and not-so-good. On the positive side, the production is top-notch, with a rich, warm sound, and Jordan's vocals are confident and clearer than ever. However, the songs themselves feel a bit bland, the lyrics are somewhat shallow, and there's a touch of that overdone, self-indulgent vibe. That said, my opinion might change over time. The first three Rakei albums took a while to grow on me, so maybe The Loop will too. Oh, and the green vinyl was pretty dirty and noisy. I even scratched one of the discs trying to get it out of the printed inner sleeve, which might be skewing my first impression. I'll order the CD to listen to it as a continuous flow and hopefully, my "meh" will turn into a "wow.
