    I thought that this pressing is much better than the digital. Sleeve is great, printed inner sleeves are beautiful, but the sound from the records sealed the deal.

      Also came with a cool Mars Volta sticker plus the slipmat.

        Great feeling on the sleeves and gatefold, but it is kind of annoying flipping sides every two songs since they're shorter.
