    I really like the songs on Accelerate, but there is no version this album that sounds even halfway decent to my ears. Was hoping that the latest vinyl release would be a marked improvement but it was not at all, at least to my ears. I just feel that it was a very poorly-mixed recording.

      The pressing lacks spaciousness - especially where the drums kick in (70% of the record mainly)

        The US version of this reissue by Craft is a really muddy master and not that enjoyable to listen to. Wondering if this EU pressing is any better, as it appears it was pressed at a different plant and cut from a different lacquer.

          Anybody have any thoughts on this pressing? Three more words.
