Rodan (3) – Rusty

Went through 2 copies on Amazon. I returned both because of annoying pops and clicks. It is disappointing in the quieter parts of the music to hear this. The music kicks ass, it just sucks this pressing seems to be bad.

Awful press, full of pops and clicks, I was expecting more from Quarterstick

Is this really remastered? Trying to figure out if the master is any different than the 2013 reissue.

Just checked my copy and there is a deep gouge across the entire side A, obviously it’s going back to the store. Wondering if anyone else has this same issue? Hopefully it’s just this one copy…

Main biography page has some egregious errors:

1. Peel Session was recorded in June 1994.
2. Rodan's last shows were in September that same year...
3. With Kevin Coultas on drums; Jon Cook did not re the group as alleged (see also "Broken Heart of a Neutron Star" aka "Noble Attitude" on Crain's "Heater" album, also released in 1994).

"Rusty" is an album that's difficult to listen to, but not because it isn't great. It is. Hard to believe that it came out 30 years ago. Harder still to contemplate those who are no longer with us.

Can’t speak on any of the reissues, but this original kicks ass like you want this album to. Bob Weston’s production shines here.

Such a great band, my original copy sounds perfect.
f you like Slint or Shellac it’s a must have.
Grab one when it’s still affordable ;)

Little too noisy for my taste, not a very dynamic record either, pretty flat sounding, the bass and drums aren't that full or warm. Only paid $16 so not too bummed and also not too surprised at the quality.

There's not much to say about this other than that it's one of the greatest albums of all time. It's the perfect atmosphere and mood if this is the type of person you are or music you are into. Anxiety release.
Rating: PERFECT 10/10

The only difference in the matrix/runout of my copy is that the S's are the right way round, not reversed like here.
