    ...pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Memphis Records Pressing. Such a shame and probably the reason for the complaints.

      Three tries so far to get an undamaged copy — no luck yet. Scuffs, pops & crackles even after cleaning. Grrrr!

        I have never listened to this album in such a great level of mastering. Absolutely amazing soundstage, dynamics, bass, vocals, everything. I will put my CD to rest from now on.

          Mastering is incredible, a significant digital versions. However, I do believe this record would have benefited from a 2xLP edition, as the volume was stunted by it being 50+ minutes long on 1xLP. Other than that, this is a great record.

            My copy has some surface noise between tracks but sounds great and warm otherwise - only negative is it seems to be pressed very quietly. Still a good pressing to own overall!

              REM fan since Chronic Town, and this is probably my favorite.

              Aesthetically...as mentioned several times here, a disappointingly cheap production; with thin cover, generic inner with outward sealed flaps that will catch and bend, and photocopy quality lyric sheet.
              Vinyl had several large discolored "swirls".

              Returned.

                Agree with all of you! Really bad press, cold in the sound, no basses, no groove! Waiting for another release, possibly adequate for this nice album!

                  This is a great album but terrible press. First purchase was full of pops and clicks after cleaning. Returned that copy just to have an equal amount of surface noise on a second copy that was also cleaned before playing. Not pleased with the quality for such a great album.

                    I regret buying the vinyl version. It doesn't sound like vinyl at all. It's a digital thing, flat and lifeless. The pressing is mediocre as well (clicks and pops occasionally). The music is good though, but if I could turn back time I'd buy the CD version and save some money for a decent sounding vinyl.

                      I was really looking forward to this release, this is an underrated REM album. Here was a prefect album for a 45 speed or double album format. It's a long album and it suffers in sound quality at 33rpm speed. This pressing was very muffled with a fare share of surface noise through out playback and a few major pops. Quality Control was out to lunch on this one. I would keep your cd.
