My copy came with the push out double sided mask insert the same as the 1st pressing.
One side is gold the other is silver, it's 21cm width by 30cm height.
Was this standard on this reissue?
Can't seem to find any mention of it with this pressing -
Edited 3 years agothis pressing is awesome only Rap Ambush at the end skips for a second overall the pressing is really great compared to other MF DOOM pressings that came out recently.. Recommend getting this one as it is one of my best sounding album good stuff LEX -
Edited 6 years agoSo, The Doom mythology continues with "Born Like This". I'm going to start this off and say I do not believe that this is one of Doom's best offerings. I like Doom putting his tyrannical iron hand on solo tracks over him going bar for bar with other MCs because I believe that the rpm of how he delivers his poetry (as well as his syntax) does not match up to the styles of those that he allows to hop on the track with him in Castle Doom, Latveria.
The best verses were delivered by Slug (which made me wish Doom would have stayed on Rhymesayers for more opportunities to hear gems like this), Empress over Doom's instrumental was a great combo of wit, knowledge, and lyrical murder and the Wu legends Starks (Just make a remix DoomStarks EP already compiled of the tracks you guys already have made ! Hip-Hop is waiting anxiously !) and Rae.The instrumentals were an interesting mix : Empress over Doom's instrumental on "Still Dope" was a great combo of wit, knowledge, and lyrical murder. There were some takes on some Dilla tracks that I believe were altered post-mortem. On some of these tracks Doom evoked some visible self-hatred regarding his Afro lineage and being not so proud of being an American, favoring his British lineage more so. Perhaps, "Born Like This" is a peek behind the Mask - a prequel if you will to "Doomsday" ... and this record if anything showed me more that I prefer Doom mask on, and that he knew that of his base ers since he first looked through the metal. -
The vinyl is surprisingly thin/light. Not sure the actual gram weight but regardless, thankful to LEX for the reissue.
