Vinyl Pressing Review

Of Montreal


Skeletal Lamping


Reviewed by Jeb Banner on 04.12.2009

I absolutely loved their previous album "Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?" so expectations were high for this album. Although I can't say this album hits the same mark, it comes really close. But what makes this album a must buy is as much the music as the art.



Ratings are based on a scale from 0-10.

Overall Sound:

8.50

A great sounding record all around, good volume, lots of low end. Well mastered and cut.
 

Pressing Quality:

8.50

Very well pressed, only a very slight weave that isn't noticeable. Clearly they paid attention to detail when pressing this album
 

Vinyl Noise:

8.00

Very low noise, some can be heard in between tracks but very minor.
 

Overall Artwork:

9.50

The artwork is pretty amazing. The fold out die-cut poster is extravagant but so is the package and album on the whole! A good part of this album's experience is the artwork.
 

Overall Extras:

9.00

With the digital download and the incredible packaging the band and label have really created a unique experience here.
