Crap pressing, unsurprisingly. Also, why the need for a 3xLP?!?!? At least the packaging is thoughtful.
Despite all that, a top 10 album of the '10s for me.
Yes, the pressing sucks but I also think the engineering is terrible too. It does not sound all that great digitally either. I downloaded multiple copies of this and finally purchased an official digital copy because it sound so awful but I guess that is just how it sounds. Thankfully the the raw visceral energy covers up most of these flaws but man this is a tough one to handle with a good pair of headphones.
