Damn does this sound good! The neighbors are going to hate me.
FunkyPeacock Oct 5, 2023
Edited one year ago

Had this since 2017, for some reason I never played it. I got a 2nd copy of this for free from VMP because the first pressing they sent me the label stickers were off center and covering the grooves. I got this copy and I'm playing side 1 now and there has been at least 1 skip every song. SUPER noticeable during Kids with Guns and O Green world. No skips at all on side 2 - sounds great. Side C has slight static on November Has Come. Locked groove on All Alone. Side D HORRIBLE skips on DARE, it's unlistenable. Skips on Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey's Head, but not too overwhelming to not listen to the song.

Great pressing - no complaints, except maybe cut just quite a bit too loud, with some harsh vocals. Still a 9/10 to me.
Ramzy Apr 9, 2023
Had this since it came out, and sold my original because this sounds so much better. The people losing their minds over a one-second break between tracks 13 and 14 (which is the only place it's really even noticeable) need to touch grass, it still sounds absolutely fine and happens after the audio has mostly faded out - reading some of the reviews here you'd think there were prominent gaps in the middle of words or something. The bass and top end detail are both fantastic on this pressing (and I assume on all pressings that use the same plates), especially noticeable on Feel Good Inc when compared to the 2005 pressing, and I've never had any skips or jumps anywhere.

I received my copy of this back in 2017 when it was first released, and strangely haven't played it all the way through until now, especially not while sitting down really listening to it. The mastering is super solid with a very clear, wide, and deep soundstage, and balanced tonality. Good dynamics with occasional crisp transients, but also making real instruments sound natural, there is clarity and it never sounds as if the music comes from two speakers, the speakers disappear from the soundstage. It keeps getting better with increased volume where the bass really comes alive and starts slapping. My turntable is entry level Rega P3 with an Audio Technica AT-VM750SH cartridge, and it tracks through the entire album with no skips. The quality of the vinyl seems really good for being pressed by GZ Media.
robatsgh Oct 19, 2022
This is just a bad cut. On "All Alone" under a loupe there's literally two grooves that touch for a noticeable distance. This isn't a turntable problem, it's a mastering problem. And it's more likely to loop with a low-mass tonearm since it's two intersecting bass signals.

i got my copy and it had a locked groove on track Three side 3 All Alone
got a replcment copy exactly the same same groove same spot
nhollinger Apr 12, 2022
No skipping issues on mine. Sounds great, very full sound and great dynamics. Yes, it does have pauses between tracks, but it doesn’t bother me any. Can’t imagine a pressing sounding better than this.

Like others here, my copy has some skipping throughout the beginning of DARE, and a pause between every track. It's nice to have a copy on vinyl, but I'll be on the lookout for a better pressing.
HereComesInspiration Aug 12, 2021
Had a locked groove during "All Alone" and some popping during "DARE." I'm going to have to return my copy, unfortunately.
