Blue Eye Samurai 2LP

Amie Doherty’s score hits so hard on wax—the low strings and taiko drums feel punchier than through my TV speakers, and the two LPs are sequenced perfectly for a side-to-side listening session. The “Forged Steel” silver pressing is quiet and flat, no skips on my first spin, which honestly surprised

The gatefold packaging has a nice matte finish, and the silver vinyl catches the light beautifully while spinning. The pressing is dead quiet, letting Amie Doherty's strings and percussion really shine.

The silver vinyl finish really does look like forged steel under the light, which fits the show’s aesthetic perfectly. My only small gripe is the inner sleeves are a bit snug, making it tricky to slide the records out without risking fingerprints.
