The records look absolutely beautiful in metallic marble and the gatefold is high quality thick card with glossy butterfly image. The records play flat and silent with dynamic sound. A great reissue of a classic.

Do we know if this specific release is closer to a 140g or a 180g? Just curious.

Legendary album, even better on vinyl! Highly recommended for rap lovers

Generic gz but it actually hits. Bass is well rounded, volume is loud but not lacking dynamics. Truly surprised my how good this turned out.

The 2015 European (Netherlands) pressing is ubiquitous in the U.S… and this U.S. version is made in the Czech Republic? Interesting to say the least.

I don't know if I have yet another variant.
Side A: E1/C
Side B: E2/D
Side C: E3/C
Side D: E4/E

Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp a Butterfly is nothing short of a masterpiece. A sonic and lyrical journey, this album transcends the genre of hip-hop, blending jazz, funk, soul, and experimental sounds into something uniquely profound. From the very first track, Wesley’s Theory, it’s clear that Lamar has crafted a concept album that addresses issues of race, identity, and social injustice in a way that feels urgent and necessary.

Lamar’s storytelling prowess is on full display, intertwining personal reflection with a powerful critique of American culture. King Kunta stands out as an anthem of empowerment, while tracks like Alright have become rallying cries for resistance. Yet, it’s the subtlety and depth in songs like Complexion (A Zulu Love) and These Walls that reveal the true brilliance of the album. Each track offers layers of meaning that demand repeat listens, rewarding listeners with new insights each time.

The production is equally ambitious, with a team of musical innovators—Thundercat, Flying Lotus, and Kamasi Washington—helping Lamar push boundaries while keeping the heart of the album grounded in a rich tradition of Black music. The incorporation of live instrumentation, spoken word, and soundscapes creates a truly immersive experience.

Hilarious that they have just announced a 10th anniversary with an uninspired cover image, identical track list and probably flimsier and cheaper paper cover, which costs more than this 🙄 Love Kendrick’s music but his last two vinyl campaigns have been overpriced garbage while his record company still sells this!

Runouts on mine match this closer than any other listing on here although they’re not exact. Weighed the actual records too 1 was 190g one was 186g for anyone curios.

blown away at how much this sounds on vinyl, a completely different listening experience than mp3, cd or stream, highly recommend this one , this was ment for vinyl
