Maybe they just have a terrible problem with quality control. Either way, this release is a nightmare. My copy has no personal enjoyment or resale value. Guess it's time for me to return the copy I have and forget collecting their vinyl.
Gotta say I just bought a new copy of the Lateralus picture disc and it is one of the noisiest, pop and click infested new albums I've ever purchased. Tool should be ashamed for allowing this noisy piece of shit to be released with their name attached to it.
