The vinyl itself is dead quiet, with zero surface noise even during the quietest passages. Side A flows perfectly into the first track of side B, making the whole album feel like a continuous listening experience.

The pressing is dead quiet between tracks, which makes the warm analog sound really shine through on my setup. Took a couple of spins to fully appreciate the sequencing, but now it's on heavy rotation.

The sleeve art is bold and the 12-inch pressing feels solid, though the jacket arrived with a slight corner bump from shipping. Sound quality is clean and warm on my turntable, and the standard edition code matches exactly what was listed.
