A very well pressed album that isn't matched by the packaging. Musically it is a strong follow to "Armchair Apocrypha" but feels like a smaller album at times.



Ratings are based on a scale from 0-10.

Overall Sound:

8.50

Excellent sound just wish they had put it in anti-static sleeves. These harsh paper sleeves will add noise quickly.
 

Pressing Quality:

8.50

Excellent pressing, no issues to report.
 

Vinyl Noise:

8.00

Low, but there were a few passages where it was noticeable.
 

Overall Artwork:

7.00

Overall Extras:

6.00
