Voïvod – Nothingface

This pressing sounds like crap and the packaging is half-assed. Save your $$ and get an original pressing.

This album release is not to bad. I was anxiously awaiting a reissue of one of my favorite metal albums ever. It doesn't have the punch that the original cd had but then again it was in DDD best digital quality at the time and vinyl has its own essence that we love. The overall experience of the vinyl edition needs some tweaking of the EQ but the music is what I came for and I love it.

I had a rip of the 1989 original on my computer, and this sounds FAR better than that one.

My copy sounds like the spindle hole is off-centered, the pitch of the recording slightly goes up and down and it gets worse the closer you get to the end of each side. Same problem I have with my copy of https://discogs.desbloquearpagina.com/release/9152500-Blink-182-The-Mark-Tom-And-Travis-Show-The-Enema-Strikes-Back
Anyone else?

To those wondering about this pressing, it was pressed at Citizen Vinyl in Asheville, North Carolina on a refurbished SMT. The company was and is still rather new at the time, and I was the only employee with any prior pressing experience working there at the time. There was a general strike around this time and a change of leadership and a nearly completely fresh production staff. I had a hell of a time stretching out what little swirl we had, and was dealing with a broken mould wedge that was repeatedly shredding bottom stampers. It was a rough run. also tbh, the cut wasn't all that fantastic anyway, and imo one should not expect colored vinyl to be perfect. either way I certainly hope no one got anything unlistenable or horrible.

Pulled this out for a listen after listening it to it a few times last year. Here are my thoughts on this reissue:

This record is cut really quiet. Any surface noise that may be on your copy is really going to be apparent. My copy only has a few ticks across both sides, but they seemed to have softened over each play. That said, this record sounds really great. Very dynamic, plenty of bass and the music is punchy. You gotta crank the volume up a fair amount, but otherwise no other issues I can hear or see while listening.

Worthwhile reissue on very striking pink vinyl.

Real Gone Music should take a page out of the High Roller Records book - all of the HRR reissues are lavish and do the originals justice in of sound and appearance. Loads could have been included here - the original CD version of Nothingface (on Noise) had lyric sheets, a poster and a fold-out by Away for every song - all of this could have been utilised. Currently charged £32 on Amazon UK, this release isn't worth half that money. Pity for such a landmark album.

My copy has mostly pink with little blue, almost white swirls. Very flat disc which sounds great, no divots.

Pink vinyl for this album...lol, and I wonder what they have been thinking?!

mine is 99% pink with very little blue (more like white) flecks in the vinyl. only a few little divits as some have reported. Some have posted pics of a VERY marbled versions, I bought two and both are mostly pink. Any insight on where these more marbled versions may have come from? or what % of the 6000 were this different? Overall, sounds pretty good... but no vinyl will ever beat the digitally recorded album on cd.
