4 Your Eyez Only

The bass hits way harder on vinyl than streaming, and the album's storytelling feels more immersive with the needle drop. I've listened to it three times already since it arrived.

I threw this on the turntable right after opening the package, and the bass hits on the title track sound incredibly warm and full. The 12-inch pressing really lets J. Cole’s storytelling breathe between the grooves.

The gatefold sleeve feels sturdy and the standard black vinyl plays through without any skips on my setup. I wish the lyrics insert was a bit more detailed, but the sound quality makes up for it.
