Like, but don’t love. Probably deserves another few listens.
This is one of those that I feel like I should love, but right there with you that I only kinda like it. Don't know why it never really hit for me.
Late on this, but I'm with you both. For some reason they decided their guitars should sound like ass instead of amazing! (Also the lineup turnover after Y&G didn't help, and then again after Purple.) I find Gold & Grey practically unlistenable, though part of that is the mix.
 
I am on side B and it sounds great. MPO did a good job on the pressing.
this makes me very happy to hear...I enjoyed their first album, but this one is really something else. and as wonderful as the music is, my favorite aspect of the album may be the production, as it really feels like listening to a live, intimate performance and anything less than a great pressing would be doing this album and its production a serious disservice.
