I genuinely like this album. It definitely has a great vibe to it and is nice to have on vinyl.

I picked this up the day my girlfriend dumped me. This album haunts me to my core.

I‘m in love with the sound of this album + the vinyl pressing only has an average amount of cracks here & there. I‘m pretty sure they‘ll be gone once I gave the records a proper wet clean. The bass levels are incredible already!

Gave it a brush with a carbon fiber brush and it played smoothly and without any non-original noise or crackles. This album contains some simulated vinyl defects (only a tasteful amount) on few tracks, so I would compare with the digital versions before writing off anything you hear as a true defect in the vinyl. Forgot to switch the rpm on my turntable and found out it sounds amazing at 33rpm, if you're into the slowed/chopped & screwed type of thing.

No Polaroid in my copy, but pleased with the pressing quality.
Superb deep bass, vinyl is flat and the noise level perfectly fine for a coloured pressing, even before a proper ultrasonic wash.

Plenty of very quiet and intimate moments, Puma Blue's sound design might not be for everyone, but his courage to bring down the volume so drastically does give this release great dynamics once the beat kicks in.
Good choice to press this at 45rpm.

hi!
my copy is quite full of cracks and some defect sound like a heart beat in C1 and D1.In general, the LP sounds so dirty. Anyone with the same problem? :(
