      Bought it new in 2008 and think it’s a great release. Excellent defined sound, good instrument separation, solid bottom — and very good flat pressing. Turn it up!!

        I bought this pressing new in May 2020 and I do not recommend it. This is an outstanding album, but this pressing sounds utterly flat. There is so much brightness and crispness there in the music, but this pressing diminishes it all. I do not know why. Everything just sounds mushed together and flat.
