I just listened to two different pressings from the same series, and one was definitely inferior to the other. Everything had already been said—there were a lot of "zzzzz" sounds in the vocals, similar to what we would call chuintement in French. That said, I purchased it at a very affordable price, so it's still a good way to own this iconic record.
-
Edited one year agoI've sold my copy today: couldn't listen to it, a lot of saturation on Shurik'n vocals. What a pity, I love this album.

I got this yesterday and had enjoyed it two times with no complaints.
Then i read the reviews here and i listened a third time and yes, on some tracks i hear slightly distorted sounds. Mainly in the vocals.
I think it's in the master because the records themselves are very clean and silent. No hiss, pops and ticks.
So to me personally not a biggie because i really have to focus to hear it but i can imagine audiophiles want to stay away from this release.
Personally i'm going to enjoy this record very much. Very strong album and even though i don't understand a word i still feel the lyrics are sincere and meaningful. I've listened to ripped mp3's for so long that it feels justified to have finally bought it. -
J'ai acheté une nouvelle copie, et la magie, je retrouve un pressing très correcte, un bémol, sur "Petit frère", un peu de saturation dans les aiguës, sinon dans l'ensemble ça va, sans être exceptionnelle non plus.
-
Pas de chance pour moi, j'ai eu un mauvais pressage. Pas complètement dégueux non plus mais, quand-même pas terrible.
Distorsions au rendez-vous, voix inégales sur l'ensemble des faces, au début çà va et c'est après que ça se gâte. Après j'étais au courant qu'il y avait une possibilité d'avoir un pressage de merde -
Edited 2 years ago"Dans le plus grand respect de la vision artistique de IAM" is probably the most outrageous lie on this average repress. "Petit Frere" vocals are full of "zzzzz". Hopefully not every other tracks are rotten. Such a shame ! Warner/Scammer company, make sure to recruit a not deaf sound engineer for the next repress, should be useful and respectful for us.
-
Mine's also awful. Full of saturation. They should not be sold. I'm returning it. Pretty much unlistenable.
-
Grew up listening to this when it got out late 90’. The tracks are great, but frankly, the texts are amazing ( if you understand french, you will enjoy this album even more).
Minor complain: the track order is different from the original and I wonder why? Listening to this album with a different track just not feels the same to me. Anyone know why track order was changed on the reissue? -
Very good pressing, just did an A/B with the original cd for the first 2 sides (up to petit frere).
I don't know what people here are complaining about !
It is better then the CD, more open and warmer.
No distortion in this pressing whatsoever.
Listening with a Rega Alpheta 2 and Aria pre, Lyngdorf amp and Focal speakers.
