Good pressing, inner groove distortion isn't the worst but it's still pretty noticeable, but what can you really do with an hour of music pressed onto a single disc -
Every now and then I'll buy a record from Target, I just can't stop buying them. And I've had to take back many due to poor pressings (happened with the Coltrane, Daft Punk and Marvin Gaye), but this one came flat and clean. IMO this is the BEST Public Enemy album and Target did a good job with the release. -
Cut quiet. After reading reviews elsewhere about this, I went in apprehensive with low expectations. However, for my first Public Enemy record this is more than fine played through my home stereo. Headphone listeners will have a different experience, for sure. Just crank up the volume and the bass. Now it has 5 stars. Enjoy.
