Saberblade

My least favorite PJ Harvey album. I wish they'd started the swaps program before this release.

Risinal

this is the record that made me cancel my VMP subscription almost 2 and half years ago.

Chilldweller

If anyone is interested in parting out their cocktail recipe card, contact me.

Velellan

Between this, Father John Misty, and Youth Lagoon, I wound up cancelling my VMP membership after The Upsetters album (which is a classic).

romrom

terrible pressing and album. quit VMP because of this bullshit.

just one girl

Sounds like getting the CD release is the way to go. The vinyl is most likely just a pressing of the CD master anyway. I cancelled VMP after 2 releases - for starters, the next record up I had zero interest in and I don't think there is any way to skip. 2nd, they had no answer to my questions concerning mastering and pressing. Like one review states - crap hipster bullshit. What sucks is that once these idiot millennials tire of this 'fad', there junk copies will litter the used record bins, having been played to death on Crosley 'tables and the like. Ugh.

Biaemi

Actually really liked the music and I put off listening to this one for a while.. I can see the terrible pressing of the album the whole thing looks like it is scuffed, not even bother putting it through the spin washer after everyone else's comments. Post to their FB page complaining about it, I just did. Also the sleeve, etc was fine on the one i got.

Reggy

Probably.. never heard back from VMP either directly, lame.

Liarienen

Where is the complaint? I've looked for it on FB to no avail...I wonder if they deleted it?

Na

Meh. Found this nice, but predictable. Surface noise as well …

thrust

Another crap hipster bullshit release from VMP. I wish my wife had just given me 170 buck and said go play in the record store. I would have her cancel and get a refund if I didn't think it would hurt her feelings. I guess it is Karma for running the BMG/Columbia record club scam 10 records for a penny so many times in my youth.

Wenes

Getting presents is hard

Arakus

Great Album. Love it. I did not except that's so good music. Too bad the inner sleeve is a bit damaged. :/

Yayrel

The album itself is great... The record, however, is very noisey and no amount of cleaning has changed that.

Kirizius

So like most people I love the album, I'd say the first 6 tracks are absolutely great and the remainder of the album is good as well though it definitely slows down a little bit which is just not something I'll always be in the mood for. But overall I love the release and the extras are cool to have BUT there is definitely some issues with the noisiness of this pressing. At times I forget it's there but the alum does have a lot of quiet sections and during these times it is pretty noticeable and is distracting when it first gets quiet. Also anybody else get a messed up inner sleeve? Mine was banged up really bad, had to replace it with just a generic paper one.

Getaianne

I am definitely having surface noise/popping issues on mine. I shot it with the ion gun, thinking it was maybe static, but without success.

Winasana

AMAZING album, but the vinyl itself has background noise

Arihelm

Does someone else have problems with the sound quality on the first tracks of side A? A lot of surface noise and cracks on my copy.

Doomblade

Same thing here. First track starts very scratchy. The rest is fine.

Gugrel

My copy is better but still very noisy after cleaning. Disappointing.

Anicasalar

Cleaned mine,had a little noise on A1 but sounded good after that

Thetath

Cleaned it, but with no result.

lucky kitten

Yeah same -- I'm going to give it a good cleaning and see if it helps.
