Various – NieR: Automata Original Soundtrack

Heartfelt and gorgeous music. One of the best pressings I have on vinyl. The box set is built with quality and the discs have not a single issue…5 stars

Absolutely love this soundtrack and the pressing is fantastic. Great dynamics and little to no pops or crackles

Any difference between the single release edition with the boxset edition ?

Just got mine and it's great. You can still find it for like 50 bucks on eBay. Dunno what the $130 price tag on here is about. That's crazy talk. Import in from Japan no problem. ^^

I was lucky enough to catch the preorder of this vinyl a month ago, and being a huge fan of the game as I was actually in the middle of playing it, I hopped onto it. I got the vinyl in a couple days ago and was pleasantly surprised at the mastering. It plays clears, and the track selection covers nearly every track I wanted, minus one--possibly the one I wanted the most. The track that plays during the abandoned city in the desert gets stuck in my head every single time I hear it. I couldn't wait to pop the vinyl on and jam out to it, but I was disappointed to find it was left out. I understand not every track can make it onto this finite space of two discs, but I wouldn't have missed one of the others.

Physically, the outer sleeve's artwork is nice, but the inside leaves something to be desired. It's somewhat of a copy of the front's copy in dark black--being kind of hard to make out unless in good light. The includes booklet (if you'd call it that, its more like a folded legal-size page) is also a bit disappointing. It's mostly credits and the lyrics to the final track. The discs are also quite basic--traditional black with simple labels showing a YoRHa emblem. At the price point ($50), I expected a bit more, I guess.

Looking at the one copy up currently trying to sell for $130+, sorry for those who didn't snag a preorder. There's still some copies of the Gestalt vinyl for sale if you want. I knew this would be a limited run, judging from the SE's FF13 vinyl and it's current running price.
