    Apart from the fact this album is mental and amazingly experimental in every way possible, not horribly noisy when I got this second-hand.

    However on my copy at least Human Cannonball has a significant amount of inner groove distortion on everything apart from the drums really, a lot of side 2 also suffers from overly-crispy vocals and guitars that are not present on the digital versions.

    The mastering itself has no issues, sounds full and dynamic - with the IGD not sure if it was direct metal mastered, since it came in a plain paper inner and not a DMM one, although the labels have the red text.

    Presentation: 3/5
    Pressing (pops, skips): 3/5
    Mastering (audio source): 4/5
    Sleeve: Plain Paper Inner

    Setup (turntable, stylus): AT-120XUSB, AT-VM95ML
