Ger

Pretty good pressing... a bit muddy, but very lush in the lower ends. Seems to be mastered a bit low. Moderate amount of background noise. I think this album would've benefited from a double LP pressing rather than packing so much on one disc.

Nuadador

One of the few records that sounds better than its digital counterparts. Sounds so full on vinyl.

Damdyagab

Very good pressing. I have no issues with sound or EQ. It sounds full, thick and lush. I heard the yellow version - that was awful so i stuck with the black lp.

zmejka

Pretty good pressing, if a bit muddy. Could be EQ'd better but still perfectly listenable. Haven't listened to the FLACs yet but I would assume it would sound more vibrant on digital.EDIT: Yes, the FLACs sound better.

ShriekElectro Pretty good pressing, if a bit muddy. Could be EQ'd better but still perfectly listenable. Haven't listened to the FLACs yet but I would assume it would sound more vibrant on digital.EDIT: Yes, the FLACs sound better. This is probably due to the mastering. The dynamics will have had to be subdued to fit 47 minutes on two sides. It's a weird choice to cram that much into one disc, especially since they split Devotion (44 minutes) and Teen Dream (48 minutes) between four sides each. They did, however, put 44 minutes on one disc with Depression Cherry (and probably recieved minimal complaint). Technically, it's a poor decision to put ~24 minutes to a side (really, more than 17-18 minutes per side is definitely compromising sound quality and dynamics). This was probably a practical and pragmatic decision, as A) it's much cheaper to manufacture and B) they can probably (safely) assume that at least 90% of the people buying this record will not be able to discern or care about the loss of fidelity. Very unfortunate.
