Played my copy for the first time in a while. Really great vinyl mastering on this one, noticeably better than streaming (which also sounds great). Both LPs are perfectly flat and generally very quiet. This album has grown on me a ton over the past couple years. -
This pressing sounds fantastic! Not much surface noise at all & no pops, clicks, or skips to note. All of the instruments and vocals show up strong and with great clarity. Lyrics are on a good quality printed foldout poster. The spine seems to be a wide spine. The blue vinyl fits the album much more than a white vinyl would. -
Is "Sleep Well, Beast" an homage to Explosion in the Sky's "Be Comfortable, Creature"? Explosions In The Sky - Take Care, Take Care, Take Care -
I've been trying to know for like a month which version did I get (White with the folding poster and all), but I can't match the etching marks I got with any version here on Discogs, my marks are:
Side A 159449E1/D
Side B 159449E2/A
Side C 159449E3/B
Side D 159449E4/D
Please help -

Did anyone else's copy come with Do Not Disturb sign autographed by the band? I thought that was a nice touch.
