    In agreement with everyone here, this pressing packs in too much on a single-disc for it to be dynamic. Though Side B is much louder and enjoyable than Side A, fwiw.

      Just adding this is so quiet and has very little bass ... has been in my collection since release and now playing it on my new system is so underwhelming ... amazing album but this pressing really doesn't do it justice.

        this is the wu tang "36 chambers" of 90s alt rock vinyl pressings... single disc, super quiet, no bass. proud to own it, but CD sounds better

          Pressed at way too low volume in order to fit onto a single LP. Should have been pressed over 2 LP's (which I see they have done with the reissues).
