    Sounds very clean. No noise right out of the sleeve.

    Sleeve is unfortunately more flimsy than a standard cardboard sleeve. This makes it so I have to be more careful when playing this record that I don't bend the poster and contents.

      there needs to be a reissue of this album, the packaging is SO ASS 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️

        The album sounds great. As for the whole packaging issue, I just put a 12x12 cutout of cardboard between the PVC sleeve and the record to prevent it from getting scratched through its plastic sleeve while putting the original inner sleeve behind the record. It feels very solid afterward and makes me more comfortable shelving it with the rest of my collection.

          yeah yeah yeah the packaging isn’t the most enjoyable but once I took the record out and in a sleeve, resealed the album, and put the whole cover (seal and all) into a plastic sleeve with the record behind it it’s sat very nicely in my collection. just look up a tutorial on how to open it and put the record somewhere outside the sleeve it comes in to preserve it. well worth the unique opening for such a good album

            I’ll jump on the hate train, the worst packaging I have ever come across in my history of collecting vinyl. After cleaning sounds fantastic.

            Throw a 12.5x12.5 piece of cardboard into a hard sleeve and put the album with a poly line sleeve in the back and the OIS in the front.

              I'm aware that I'm likely beating a dead horse here glancing at these comments. But I want to emphasize how horrible the packing is. A clear plastic sleeve/jacket, over a slip that's supposed to be the album art? Said sleeve/jacket can cause damage to the album art sleeve if you don't put it back in properly? The title of the album being this uhhhh, clear thing that'd I compare to old screen protectors? I can go on and on but I think out of everything in my collection this might be the worst packaged vinyl I own and that's coming from somebody who will defend Sergant House's release of Boris's Pink, at least there it was charming how they recaptured the original album's stencil art with an impractical solution. This here is just plain annoying. I'm very happy this is in my collection now, but what a load of ass.

                People, get rid of the plastic sleeve! The PVC causes a reaction in the vinyl that clouds the surface. In some rare occasions it affects the sound…So please get rid of it, or store it somewhere far away from any vinyl…Why do record companies do this? Sooo stupid!

                  This is a really good sounding record. Wow! Bernie Grundman nailed this (like he always does). It sounds so good that I am wondering if this was actually done in a full analog chain. The air/space between instruments is so real. Compression sounds very natural. Dynamic range is very high.

                  The only complaint is the packaging. Like WTF!?! I mean even if they were going for an “abnormal” packaging, this idea was horrible. Why would you make it hard to pull out the record at the cost of being unique?

                    This albums sounds amazing. But the packaging is a little weird. I would have preferred a regular gatefold rather than the plastic concoction they’ve come up with. I just open the little flap on the top and slide the record in and out of it which isn’t crazy hard but still not the best. Other than that, this is a great album. Best one since « Room On Fire » IMO.

                      This packaging is really really bad. They should have a Grammy taken away for this. Pressing is great.
