Vinyl Pressing Review

Department Of Eagles

Reviewed by Jeb Banner on 06.14.2009

An amazing record but a less than perfect pressing. There is some noise in quiet passages a few times including one low end thump that came and went on the end of side two. Still, I think the overall sound quality and value makes it a recommended buy.



Ratings are based on a scale from 0-10.

Overall Sound:

8.50

Great sounding record, well mastered for vinyl. A definite improvement over the digital.
 

Pressing Quality:

6.50

Not a bad pressing but a few issues keep this score low.
 

Vinyl Noise:

7.00

Fairly low but it seems to be one of those albums that "gains" noise quickly.
 

Overall Artwork:

7.50

Nice gatefold. Would have liked a little more "art" or info about the album.
 

Overall Extras:

7.00

Digital download is nice but expected.
