    My copy came with a hair-like, click producing impression on 19. Untitled (stone in focus) (edit: and other tracks too). However Bleep.com sent me a replacement after I sent them a photo.

      Just an incredible release album around, the pressing is on thick flat heavy vinyl that is dead quiet and very dynamic with deep loud bass, exactly what was needed for such a release. Couldn't be happier waiting for this

        Nothing much to say about this release, its just a work of art. The discs being completely flat, with almost no surface noise.
        10/10.

          One of the best pieces of my collection. Everything about this release is spot-on and flawless. From the packaging to the music itself, it all just blows me away. The album itself is one of the most immersive experiences one can ever embark on. If you're thinking about it, just grab it. You will not be disappointed.

            All four disks flat, with minimal surface noise. Impressively quiet, which is much appreciated given the nature of the music. Zero noticeable drawbacks from the biovinyl. Was tempted to label each lp/side after decoding the order for the first time, but the challenge is part of the appeal for sure.

              unsure if it's just my pressing - lot of distortion here. serviceable at best.

                Picked this up today at Barnes & Noble out of all places, needless to say, after wanting to own this album physically for nearly 10 years I'm really grateful I got this. Besides this being my favorite album of RDJ's, this sounds absolutely incredible, maybe the sleeve it comes in is a little too light for the amount of LP's but that's really my only complaint

                This record really shines on a good turntable and set of speakers, it sounds absolutely incredible with only minor surface noise, the stickers and poster are a nice touch too.

                Pick this up!

                  I am all for environmental concerns, but wish this was not on BioVinyl. The few BioVinyl releases that I have are consistently worse than CD/digital. From what I understand, they are more compressed and are mastered at a lower volume than they normally would be. Would love to somehow test BioVinyl vs. traditional vinyl to validate my concerns. They seem to be more noisy than they should be. My theory is once more is known, these bioplastic releases will be known as inferior and will be in the same category as picture discs.

                    GRAB IT ASAP! From reading about the previous releases and owning this reissue, I can confidently say this is the best-sounding version. Some people have mentioned that earlier pressings suffered from frequent clicks and a "dusty" sound.

                    This reissue also includes extra tracks, which is a fantastic bonus.

                    Listening to this album on vinyl creates a special vibe that digital playback can never replicate. I’ll never go back to playing it digitally again!
