I thought the packaging was completely on point with my copy and there was no crackle, but neither record had any audio. But still, I give it a 10/10. Great effort.

Surprisingly, my copy came in a plain black sleeve. Great music, but my pressing is pretty noisy.

booked Surprisingly, my copy came in a plain black sleeve. Great music, but my pressing is pretty noisy. I agree, really love the music on this release but I found the pressing almost completely unlistenable due to harsh nonfill scraping noise, particularly in the outer grooves. An unfortunately common problem these days, but this one is especially bad. I've been meaning to start posting reviews about nonfill pressings in hopes of increasing accountability of the plants/engineers, so here's a start. I'd love to hear an artist's response to a fan's criticism that their music came out sounding like shit because of bad pressings. I've contacted a couple labels about it and they won't even acknowledge that it happens. Sorry for the rant reply to your post, you caught me on a good night, haha.

Amazing record. I was a little let down by the cheap yet fussy sleeve though.
