    Fantastic album. Sadly, my pressing has a fair amount of surface noise, even after multiple cleanings.
    Trouble Will Find Me is the best sounding National album I have on vinyl.

      Astounding pressing. I'll just echo everyone who's already commented on how it great sounds. It's a masterful job for a masterful album. Three thumbs up!

        Five stars! My best sounding the National vinyl in the collection. It has a perfect warmth. It sounds real with lots of dynamics and a great soundstage. Matt’s voice on ‘Green Gloves’ is right in front of you. ‘Slow Show’ is a highlight!

          One of the best pressings in my collection, sound is full and clear.

            This pressing is phenomenal! Album sounds so organic, not a single issue on my end. Plays beautifully and super silent. Really recommend!

              Without a doubt the worst pressing of any record I've ever owned. 3/4 of the album is filled with roaring hissing noise. I guess I got a dud. Unlistenable

                I confirm this is an absolutely brilliant pressing, probably one of the best-sounding vinyls I own.

                  Another vote for an incredibly rich and juicy pressing. Plus it's an incredible album musically, IMO.
                  This is a go-to if I want to show someone what a good record can sound like. Heck yeah.

                    Fantastic pressing, best of any National album I own. Silent, excellent mastering, sounds great.

                      My copy sounds great, deep bass, super clear and no floor noise or clicks/pops. Great job by Optimal, and my copy is more lime green I would say as well.
