I was torn between the black and clear vinyl, but the clear pressing turned out to be surprisingly quiet with almost no surface noise. The sleeve art really pops against the transparent disc.

The blue pressing looks incredible spinning under the light, and the bass on side A hits way harder than I expected from a 12-inch. I've played it three times already and the black vinyl version has a nice weight to it that keeps the grooves steady.

The clear vinyl plays dead quiet, no pops or surface noise at all—perfect for late-night listening sessions. The packaging is sturdy too, no bent corners from shipping.
