    Not my favourite album by them by any stretch, but I have to say it is a great sounding album. None of that back ground noise, just a nice clear dynamic sound, great pressing.

        Wow! This pressing sounds incredible. Dynamic, detailed, quiet background. Surface noise only noticed a little on super quiet parts. Huge soundstage and pinpoint imaging! Highly recommend!

          Not Coldplays best album, but this pressing is fantastic. Smooth and nearly flawless

            Pressing is definitely a superb one. Clean, flat and super-quiet. Mastering is warm - not as brittle as ‘A Head Full Of Dreams’. Great soundstage, and Chris’ vocal is almost lifelike. ‘Fly On’ sounds incredible. Well worth your $$.

              Holy crap. This pressing sounds incredible. Rich, lively, detailed. Strong recommendation.

                Staggeringly good sound, Coldplay on vinyl is always the best bet as it always sounds more open, full bodied, expressive and alive.

                  Plenty of surface noise on my copy even after a clean but sounds incredible anyway.
