3+5

The vinyl is dead quiet between tracks, and the bass on side B hits way harder than I expected from a standard pressing. Melt Banana's chaotic energy comes through crystal clear here.

The gatefold sleeve is sturdy and the vinyl itself plays clean with zero surface noise. Melt Banana’s chaotic energy really comes through on this pressing. The soundstage feels wide and immersive for a loud, distorted album.

Been spinning this 12 inch nonstop since it arrived and the pressing sounds clean, no surface noise at all. Melt Banana's usual chaos hits hard on side A, then the flip side stretches out in ways I didn't expect. Easily the best sounding record in my collection right now.
