Der Teufel ist nicht rot (20th Anniversary Remaster)

I’ve been playing this nonstop since it arrived—the remastered vinyl really makes those frantic drums and jagged riffs punch through the mix. The gatefold sleeve feels sturdy, too, and the whole package has that raw, chaotic energy I was hoping for.

The remaster really brings out the percussive chaos I remember—the vinyl’s surface noise is practically nonexistent, letting those frantic drum fills breathe. It’s like hearing the Tetris score on steroids for the first time again.

Twenty years on and this pressing still hits like a brick to the skull—the vinyl is dead quiet between tracks, letting those frantic drums and synth stabs land with zero surface noise. Spun it three times in a row, and the remaster really brings out the bass rumble underneath all that chaos.
