    Picked this up and has been in constant rotation. Compared with the latest limited edition Sire 2xLP releases of Twitch and LoRH, the two latter releases sound much louder and fuller. When I spin on of those after playing this one they are considerably louder. However that doesn’t say that this release sounds bad; it has a much more refined and multidimensional sound than the digital, such as in the qunty Cannibal Song, it sounds so crisp and snappy in the front with the different textures falling into the background such as the crows cawing and the dreamy saxophone. I do agree with one of the reviews about side 2 feeling a bit crammed; inshallah this album gets the same treatment Sire has been giving the other Ministry releases. The artwork is beautifully printed but paper stock is thin; vinyl is pristine and comes in a plastic protective sleeve. I’m definitely open to picking up other MOV releases too; recommended!

      I love this album, but cramming 28 mins of this style of music on a single side of vinyl takes its toll on the sonics. Nice pressing as you'd expect from MOV, but you can't avoid the effects of 28 mins of music on overall volume and how reducing that causes surface noise to be more intrusive. This should have been cut over three sides with an etched SIDE D at minimum. Not sure why MOV are guilty of this so often, perhaps it's a licensing issue?

        I got my copy from Juno - clear, no clicks, no skips, sounds just fine!

          Did they fix the skip on 'So What'? My older black vinyl copy has what MOV referred to as a 'groove kiss' and since it had been so long since I bought it before I noticed I couldn't get a refund.
