Flat. Mostly quiet. A tad off center.  Not the most amazing dynamics/separation.  I'm hearing too much treble.  6/10 sound. 10/10 happiness. 

Do you mean it was pressed geocentrically off, so the sound sounded kinda warped especially on string parts?

This was one of my favorite albums of the past 20 years, so I was overjoyed when I heard it was finally going to be avilable on vinyl.  I wanted to get the gold translucent version but it was running over $100 on ebay & there was someone on discogs who offered an open but unplayed version for $52.  I asked him if the discs were warped (because I read that it was here & from at least one other person online).  He checked & he said it was!  

What happened?  Did Universal make a bad batch or are they mostly warped?  Someone here said it was "slightly off" leading me to believe it's geocentrically off, so the music would sound warped?  Are the black vinyl versions any better?  Please help.  Trying to settle on what to buy quickly so I can receive them before I go on vacation in 2 weeks.  Thanks.

Mine came yesterday. Warped to crap. Going to email and hope I can get a replacement, warped didn't effect playback surprisingly. 

So when you put the needle on it it was like it was riding a wave?  Up & down warped vs. geocentrically off?
