異端驕傲

The packaging feels sturdy and the gatefold opens nicely, though the real highlight is how crisp Darnielle’s vocals come through on side two. I’ve spun it three times already and the warmth on the low end is exactly what you want from a record.

The vinyl pressing is dead quiet between tracks, which lets Darnielle's lyrics really cut through. This album captures that raw, urgent energy perfectly.

I’ve been listening to this record nonstop since it arrived—the pressing is dead quiet and the lyric sheet is printed on heavy, glossy stock that feels like a small art book.
