Reviews
-
Beautiful package, nice sturdy gold hot foil font gatefold with multi-pages booklet and a limited print inside.
Gorgeous transluscent pale red double vinyls.
Nice sounding, great dynamic, strong bass, a little sibilance on side B but the rest is perfect on my copy.
-
This pressing starts on a high note, boasting excellent dynamics, punchy bass, and an impressive soundstage. However, it stumbles due to noticeable sibilance, which detracts from the overall listening experience. Despite this flaw, it still earns a solid 4 out of 5. -
-
Great remaster quality and a really pretty pressing, especially under light.
Favourite all-time album, timeless but futuristic and nostalgic at the same time. Showcased Aaliyah's effortless pristine vocals, despite not showing the full extent of her capabilities.
Standout tracks; It's Whatever, More Than A Woman, I Refuse, Loose Rap, We Need A Resolution, Never No More
'Loose Rap' especially sounds incredible on this copy, it gives the track a new light. It was supposed to be the lead for the album but never ended up being pushed as a single at all. Wish 'Messed Up' was included -
Quality is stunning but has anybody on „I care 4 you“ also very sharp „s“ to hear? It’s only on that track! Thank you for letting me know!
-
Very Solid Press. Sounds just as good as the original print from 2001. Just wish "messed up", the hidden bonus track on original 2001 American CD copies was included on the album. But hey, we got "Try again", which isn't on the original US vinyl pressing. -
-
I’m waiting for the regular version (not vmp). It was shooosed to arrive in June then pushed back to September, then pushed to December and now it’s getting pushed to March. What’s happening with this record? -
Found this gem at a local record store. The sound quality is very good. I also love the packaging!
-
I am so happy I discovered this album this year. Took me long enough. The packaging is amazing. Only bummer is that my copy doesn't sound great on side D. There is always background noise in the beginning of the songs. Mostly on the first two tracks.
