Why in god's name is the 2025 re-release of this "isolated vocals" version exactly the same as the one from RSD 2024??? Nobody will ever be able to distinguish them?!?! -
referencing Hit Me Hard And Soft (LP, Album) 602465223651
Great album, terrible pressing. I’m fine-ish with a quieter pressing, but adding the lack of dynamics, a faint high end that cannot be solved by the harshest of the equalisers and soooooo much surface noise - far from “charming” acceptable to just exhausting loud pops in every rotation. I have the impression that this was pressed using a potato stamp. -
referencing Hit Me Hard And Soft (Isolated Vocals) (LP, Album, Record Store Day, Bone) 6024705012566
I enjoyed the isolated vocals, but not going to pay $35 for digital recordings on vinyl. This is a curiousity release and pressing on recycled and colored vinyl is risky for a "quiet" recording like this. Why suffer through surface noise and snaps and pops that will come later to litter the acapella? This is a digital "extra" or die-hard fan vinyl release. You can get $9.99 of 20 tracks (orig and isolated) at her website in the U.S.
That said, after watching a few "how we made this song" videos, I find it difficult to NOT hear her delivery as a digital collage, combining many takes of each song, sung 20 or 30 times to get it "right." No need for auto-tune. Selecting the best delivery and stitching them together sounds nearly as artificial. At least she didn't take 10 years to get the album done like David Sylvian DeadBeesOnACake... but I digress. I guess I'd prefer a rougher, fully sung version with some harmonies and effects added. Hope she does an "unplugged" session, stripped down to 3 or 4 instruments and her singing select songs start to finish. -

I'm sorry that I have to put a an underwhelming grade to this record... Side A is super quiet, you have to crank up to volume a lot, I didn't experience a lot of pops/noise, but when they happen, they're really there, side B sounds slightly less quiet, but there's an overall bass centric mix that is borderline unbalanced. It's not to a point where I would demand a refund, I'll listen to it again, but I really wish it was a two discs release, the music is good and deserves it. -

The vocals were NOT isolated in most of the songs, you get whispers throughout most songs, only songs that were well isolated were wildflower and birds of a feather. Its good to have for a Billie collection though -

The songs on the A side are so quiet and the surface noise is overwhelming. The B side is fine. Love the colour. -
The more you play it, the better it gets for some reason. My sound quality has significantly improved since I first played it.

Purchased at concert and it’s the most quiet pressed record, filled with background noise. I just spun this after an original pressing of the Cars Heartbeat city that’s beat to shit and that sounds heaps better than this.
The most underwhelming record I own. -

I really liked the audio quality, but the color looks more orange than yellow.
