A very well pressed album that isn't matched by the packaging. Musically it is a strong follow to "Armchair Apocrypha" but feels like a smaller album at times.

| Excellent sound just wish they had put it in anti-static sleeves. These harsh paper sleeves will add noise quickly. | |
Pressing Quality: |
8.50 |
| Excellent pressing, no issues to report. | |
Vinyl Noise: |

| Low, but there were a few passages where it was noticeable. | |
Overall Artwork: |
7.00 |
| I really liked the artwork for the deluxe CD issue with a second album of instrumentals and sound collages. I was hoping the vinyl release would mirror that but it doesn't. | |
Overall Extras: |
6.00 |
| Less than expected, no digital hurts. | |

Jeb Banner I've been collecting vinyl for over 10 years and have a collection of about 2000 albums, give or take a few. My musical taste lean towards Classic/Indie Rock but I... Jeb has reviewed 20 other Records. |
