Same type of report as the previous post:
even though i didn't hate this album, i was a bit underwhelmed.
But I fell in love with the what-could-have-been-Radiohead-track. Learned to play it. Had to get the LP after getting used to the rest of the songs.
I've waited +3 years to do it as most reviews were bad. Heard about this press. Got a nice deal on it.
Well, it appears the 1st try was the one (a rare occurence in 2024 where i send back +50% of the LPs i receive)!
Records came (almost) flat & scratch-free. No visual trace of non-fills.
They both played perfectly (NO skipping*).
I've only heard a couple of random pops on B2 (which makes sense since it's a chill track).
The rough-looking cover/inners are just bad (the rough feel is not nice, the texts are hard to read and the inners are too thick & will destroy your records).
Fun fact: i might be the worst TY fan as i've just discovered those LPs were carrying a (pretty good) bonus track!
* I know it's a long shot to put everyone with skipping problems in the same boat but, since Discogs' comments section is far from being audiophile, i would advise to make sure your gear is good enough/well calibrated because, yes, this album has some heavy bass and will make your needle skip if your equipment isn't up to the task. -
Edited one year agoWas afraid of poor vinyl quality based on previous comments and prepared myself for the worst. But actually my copy is almost perfect - just one or two noticeable clicks. No skips, pops, noise etc. The sound itself is amazing.
The music is simply beautiful. I didn’t immediately understand the album, but after some time I got it, and now I love it so much. Another masterpiece from Thom. -
If you are looking at the ‘skips’ comments here and wondering if it’s good, rest assured it’s a record cut with a lot of bass that you will need a decent well calibrated deck for. Otherwise….yes, it will skip!

This record sounds so absolutely massive. The only way to listen to it is Vinyl, the amount of details you pick up in the low, mid frequencies is unbelievable and it is LOUD!! My vinyl is flat and silent. A gem
-
This record is flat, sounds great. Not sure what the beef is about. Really great production, bass is perfect. -
Lots of warping with this particular pressing. Skips around a lot. Very disappointing, especially given how much I had to pay for this in my part of the world.

The album and pressing are great. The cover is a disaster as it just drops bits all over the vinyl
