    Such an unfortunate pressing. Sounds like it has a blanket thrown on top of it. Flat, depressing. Unfair to the band’s performance, which is so dynamic and engaging. :(

      Honestly, not a great sounding press. Very flat and hard to pick out each instrument. Not sure if a better exists aside from remastered versions?
