      My copy definitely did not come with a signed print from the band. Someone should fix that note because it is incorrect.

        Perfect pressing. Their best album so far in my opinion.

          It's a little translucent, not full opaque pink, BEAUTIFUL record

            It’s lifeless & flat! This album lacks any emotion, heart & soul!

              Fanstatic pressing !!

                I agree with the previous comments regarding the pressing. Fabulous, no noise at all and great sound. Another great Fontaines album.

                  Absolutely brilliant pressing. So many big albums missing the mark these days but no sibilance, surface noise, nor any other qualms. Pink also fits perfectly with the artwork. What a record.

                    Fontaines showcased 2 songs from this new album at Glastonbury in June 24 which sounded great. This album leaves the gritty streets of childhood Dublin behind. It sounds lush, rich, layered, achingly beautiful at times, very melodic and lyrical. A band that don’t stand still. Looking forward to seeing live in Dublin in December, and Finsbury Park Summer 25.

                      Excellent pressing familiar to Fontaines sound! Please enter at least 4 more.
