In case anyone is interested. I have now compared the UK, US and German pressings. Not that easy. The mastering differs from song to song. The UK has more bass. Kyoto Song in particular is stunning on the UK pressing. But the US pressing is a bit more compact and 1 DB louder than the UK. The German is somewhere in between. But Close to me really stands out on the German one. The song is mixed much wider in stereo. The wheezing and gasping for air is distributed very widely in the room. So I'm almost at a loss. I would put the UK a bit ahead of the German and then the US pressing.
Who knows the Japanese one and has heard it in comparison?

Album certainly less "dark" than the previous ones (with slightly more pop songs) but which will lead the band to international success.
Album sicuramente meno "dark" dei precedenti (con canzoni un pò più pop) ma che porterà al successo internazionale, la band.
