    DEFINITELY make sure to properly store this record. Like Taitemcg said this sleeve is very easy to damage.

      I agree with the other commenters regarding pressing quality- this thing sounds fantastic.

      On the surface, I love the die-cut cover, but my god if you shelve your records and you don't have a plastic sleeve on it, it just *wants* to rip itself apart along the points in the X.

        Fine pressing of an already great indie rock alternative album. Definitely recommend.

          Fantastic! Clean, flat and flawless pressing. Nice sound stage. It has a full, rich and expansive sound. I got mine from Amazon. This one was done right!

            What you have here is the perfect test record for your speakers, especially if you have a sub. The bass on "Fantasy" is unbelievable. "Stars" reaches some serious ocean-trench depths too. I didn't know my monitors could do... that. Not just the low end, it's excellent across the whole sound spectrum. Wow.

              Love this pressing, what a great album! I had the copy from the 2017 version Young Turks (https://discogs.programascracks.com/The-XX-xx/release/9656791), and it was terrible, I tried two of them but gave up, just bought this one instead, and this is so much better! Very clean and the sonics..

                  Added note: the track "Hot Like Fire" is out of order with the track listing inside the jacket.

                    Absolutely awesome press. This is a great album, I recommend it for those with eclectic taste in music, as it has quite a varied (yet complimentary) track listing. Suitable for pretty much any atmosphere: dinner parties, chilled Sundays, study etc.
